BIOS 200SC Professional Office Scale

Product Information: Professional Office Scale

The Professional Office Scale is a 3-in-1 Body Analysis Scale that provides measurements for weight, height, and BMI. It is designed for professional use in office settings. The scale features a height sensor, an LCD display, control buttons, and a platform. It is a precision device that should be handled with care.

Features:

• Accurate weight measurement in pounds (lbs) or kilograms (kgs)
• Stability symbol to indicate when the weight measurement has stabilized
• Battery indication to show the level of battery charge
• Gender selection for accurate measurements
• Age selection for accurate measurements
• Height calculation in centimeters (cm) or inches (inch)
• BMI calculation for better understanding of body composition

General Warnings and Cautions:

• Place the scale on a flat, even, and solid ground before turning it on to ensure accurate readings. Avoid using it on carpet or soft surfaces.
• Clear anything over 35.4/90 cm in height from the immediate vicinity to avoid affecting the accuracy of height measurements.
• Stand straight and as still as possible during measurements. Do not jump on the platform.
• Avoid using the scale if the patient or floor around the device is wet. Keep the scale in a dry place to protect the electronic components.
• Handle the scale with care and avoid excessive impact or vibration to prevent damage.
• Clean the scale by wiping it with a soft damp cloth. Do not allow water to enter the scale and do not use chemical reagents for cleaning.
• Do not disassemble the scale components, as it will void the warranty.

Getting Started

About the 200SC
This section describes the various components of the Professional Office Scale.

About the LCD Screen

1. Weight

2. Shows weight displayed in pounds (lbs) or kilograms (kgs) as set by the user.

3. Stability Symbol

4. Denotes when the weight measurement on the scale has stabilized. The number will no longer change.
   NOTE: Note weight down, or save in memory before stepping off (see 2.3 (4a). Scale will return to 0.00 when weight is removed.

5. Minus Sign

6. Denotes that weight is under 0.00 lbs/kgs. If a negative weight reading appears, press the ON/TARE/+ button to return the scale to 0.00 lbs/kgs.

7. Battery Indication

8. This shows the level at which the battery is charged.

9. Gender

10. This shows the input selection of patient’s gender.
    NOTE: If patient’s gender identity is self-assigned, use the sex of the patient at birth to determine selection choice. Or, follow instructions for “Taking Measurements without Parameters Set Up (4.1)”.

11. Age

12. This shows the input selection of the patient’s age.

13. Height

14.  This shows the calculated height of the patient once the measurement has been taken in centimeters (cm) or inches (inch) as set by the user.

15. BMI

16. Shows the calculated BMI of the patient once the measurement has been determined.

17. To better understand your BMI reading, please refer to the list below.

18. Underweight – BMI less than 18.5

19. Normal Weight – BMI 18.5 – 24.9

20. Overweight – BMI 25 – 29.9

21. Obese – BMI 30 +

NOTE: BMI is a ratio of weight-to-height. The calculation to determine BMI = kg/m2 (a person’s weight in kilograms divided by their height in metres squared).

3. Screw the knurled screw back into the top of the LCD hinge until tight.

NOTE: The LCD screen should be rotated back 90° if the patient is under 3’11”/120 cm in height, so as to not interfere with the height calculation.

Charging the Battery
When the LCD display shows ****, please be sure to charge the scale in a timely manner. When the display shows “LO”, please charge immediately. The charging interface (adapter plug in) is on the backside of the LCD display.
When the scale is plugged in via the power adapter, the charging indicator light will illuminate, to confirm that the battery is charging. ONLY charge the scale with the originally supplied power adapter (the use of another adapter who’s technical parameters may not meet the device’s requirements may cause damage to the scale).
