5.0  FUNCTION 
 
5.1  WEIGHING 
 ·  Place the Scale on an even floor and press the  [On/Off] key.  
 
·  The instrument performs a self-test after which it  is ready for operation.  
 
·  Press the  [On/Off] key and the machine switches off.  
 
·  The  person to be  weighed  can  step  on  to  the  platfo rm once  the  scale  shows 
0.0  on  the  display.  The  weight  will  be  display  in  K g.  or  lb.  depending  on  the 
units chosen by the user.  
 
·  If  the  weighing  value  is  to  be  tared  press  the  tar e  key  to  remove  the  weight 
value from the display. 
 
·  Press the  [Units] key for changing the weighing unit to kg or lb. Th e LED will 
indicate the chosen weighing unit. 
 
·  Overload display : When “
FULL” appears on the display, it shows that the load 
on the platform is over the maximum capacity. Under  these circumstances, it 
is  necessary  to  reduce  the  load  otherwise  the  senso r  or  the  platform  will  be 
damaged. 
   
·  Hold  Function:  To  lock  the  weighing  result,  press  the  [Print/Hold] key.  The 
LED will flash until a stable reading has been obta ined and then it will light up 
constantly.  The  weight  will  be  displayed  until  the  hold  time  has  expired  (see 
Sec 7.0) or to manually release the function, press  the [Print/Hold]  key again. 
  
·  Print Function:  To send the weighing result to a printer or comput er press the 
[Print/Hold]  key when the  [Print/Hold] key has been set up in the parameter 
section to work as print function.

5.2  MEASURING HEIGHT  
 ·  To measure someones height, it is necessary to ext ract the measuring rod and 
place the height arm on top of the head of the pers on being measured.   
 
·  For shorter heights the height arm can be released  by pressing the red button 
on  the  top  of  the  height  rod,  and  then  moving  the  h eight  arm  to  the  lower 
section of the height pillar.  
 
·  The height is read on the bar at the top of the su pport.  The height can be read 
in either centimetres or inches,  
   
5.3  MEASURING BODY MASS INDEX (BMI)   
 
·  Once the height has been determined it is possible  to enter the height reading 
into the display ready for the scale to compute the  BMI.  
 
·  Press  and  hold  the  [Unit/BMI]  key  to  enter  the  BMI  mode.    The  display  will 
show  the  last  height  value  used,  “ Cm123”  or  “In123”  depending  on  which 
weighing unit you are currently using. 
  ·   The height entry unit (Cm or In) will be flashing  to show you which unit you are 
currently in, use the Up arrow key to change the he ight entry unit between Cm 
to In as required 
 
·  Enter your height using the arrow keys, the  [Print/Hold] /
 key  will increment 
the flashing digit, the right arrow, the  [Unit/BMI] /

 key, will move the flashing 
digit to the adjacent digit. 
 
·  Press the  [Tare]/¿
¿¿
¿
 key to confirm the value. 
 
·  The display  will  now  show  the  BMI  based  on  the  cur rent  weight  on the  scale 
and the height entered. 
 
·  Press the  [Unit/BMI] key to exit the BMI mode and return to normal weig hing.  
 
·  The Hold function will work as described above whi lst in the BMI mode.

6.0  CALIBRATION 
  
Before calibrating the scale, you should ensure that you have a suitable known weight for 
calibration.    
1.  When in normal weighing mode with the scale at zero  press and hold down [TARE] and 
[ON / OFF]  keys to enter the calibration mode.  
  
2.  If  the  calibration  switch  is  in  the  off  position  on   the  main  PCB  inside  the  scale,  the 
indicator  will  show  “ CAL.OFF”  and  then  exit  this  mode.  If  the  indicator  shows  “ CAL-? ”, 
the scale is ready for calibration. 
 
3.  When the indicator shows “C AL-?”, press the  [TARE] key to confirm and go to next step, 
or press the  [ON / OFF] key to exit the calibration mode.  
 
4.  When  ‘ 0.0’  is  displayed  the  scale  will  begin  to  calibrate  th e  scale’s  zero-point.  Ensure 
that there is no load or weight on the scale’s plat form. Press the [TARE] key to confirm, 
or press the  [ON / OFF] key to exit this mode.  
 
5.  A  few  seconds  after  the  [TARE] key  has  been  pressed  in  step  4  the  scale  will  show 
“300.0” and the kg LED, or “600.0” and the lb LED d epending on which unit you chosen, 
this is the default calibration weight from the fac tory. Press the [UNIT] key to select the 
calibration weight unit that you want to calibrate  in. Press the [ON / OFF] key to exit the 
calibration  mode  at  this  point  or  press  the  [Print/Hold] key  to  choose  a  different 
calibration  weight  value  (50kg,  100kg,  150kg,  200kg ,  250kg,  300kg  or  100lb,  200lb, 
300lb,  400lb,  500lb,  600lb);  Then  put  on  the  weight   that  you  selected  and  press  the 
[TARE]  key  to  confirm  the  chosen  standard  weight  that  was  selected  earlier.  The 
displayed data will flash on the display and if the  scale accepts the calibration data it will 
calculate and store the information into the EEPROM . If an error has occurred, the scale 
will display “CAL. Er” and return back to step 4 fo r re-calibration. If the loaded weight is 
not within the range of 95% to 105% of the weight v alue you selected, the scale will not 
calibrate but display “CAL. Er” and return back to  step 4 for re-calibration. ) 
 
6.  Check the calibration by putting the weight that yo u calibrated at back on the scale, if it 
is off repeat the calibration process again.

7.0  USER PARAMETERS 
  
This indicator has 4 parameter settings that can be selected. 
 
1. When  the  scale  is  in  normal  weighing  mode, press  an d  hold  down  the [ON  /  OFF] key 
and the  [UNIT] key for 3 seconds until ‘ Setup’ is shown on the display.  
 
2. When in the SETUP mode, press the  [Print/Hold] key to change the flashing digits, and
