OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Keypad

Screen Icons

IMPORTANT: To prevent falls or injury, place the scale securely far from the edge of the counter, table or other flat surface used to hold the scale. Do not let the scale touch the wall or any other object near or around the scale while it is in use.

Weighing a Patient

Note: When this scale is turned on, it will always default to the settings and units last used (LB or KG).

1. With all weight off the scale, press the button to power on the scale.

2. Place the baby on the scale so that its weight is evenly distributed on the tray. As the scale calculates weight a small ring will flash in the upper left corner of the display along with weight measurements. Depending on the movement of the patient on the scale, it may take several seconds for the scale to lock onto the weight.

3. When a stable weight is calculated, the ring will stay displayed and the weight of the baby will lock. Note: If the display shows “—–” you have exceeded the capacity of the scale.(44 lb / 20 kg)
   Caution: To prevent patient injury, the patient must be attended throughout the entire weighing event.

4. The weight may be held on the display by pressing the HOLD/RLS/RECALL button. To release, press the HOLD/RLS/RECALL button again.

5. After the weight measurement has been taken and is recorded, remove the patient from the scale. To reweigh the patient without removing them from the scale, press the  button.

6. Press and hold the  button to power off the scale.

Weight Recall

1. To recall the last weight measured, with all weights off the scale and the display showing “0”, press the HOLD/RLS/RECALL button.
2. To clear the display of the recalled weight, press the HOLD/RLS/RECALL button again.

Zero Function
The ZERO/TARE button zeroes the scale prior to a weight measurement. The ZERO/TARE button is also used in the Tare function outlined below.

Tare Function
When using this scale, the weight of an object, such as a blanket, can be subtracted from the total weight to determine the weight of the patient alone.

Weighing a Patient and Taring an Unknown Weight
The minimum weight that can be tared is 0.02 lb / 0.01 kg / 10 g. Note: The scale must lock onto a weight before it can be tared.

1. With all the weight off the scale, press the button to turn on the scale.
2. Wait until the “0” appears on the display then place the object on the scale. The display will show a value for the object’s weight.
3. Press the ZERO/TARE button. The arrow on the display will appear and point to the Tare icon on the display.
4. Keep the object on the platform, and then gently place the patient onto the scale. The scale will automatically deduct the weight of the object and only display the patient’s weight.
5. When you remove the patient and the item from the platform, “UndEr” will show on the display. Press the ZERO/TARE button to clear the tared value.

Caution: To prevent patient injury, the patient must be attended throughout the entire weighing event.

Weighing a Patient and Taring a Known Weight (Pre-Tare):
Pre-Tare can be performed for items between 0.2 lb and 5 lb (0.1 kg and 2.26 kg).

1. With all the weight off the scale, press the button to turn on the scale.
2. Wait until “0” appears on the display. Press and hold the ZERO/TARE button until the arrow on the display points to the Tare icon on the display.
3. Use the  ZERO/TARE buttons to increase or decrease the weight. Pounds will change in 0.1oz increments and KG will change in 0.001 kg increments.
4. Once the desired tare value is set, lock the value by pressing the HOLD/RLS/RECALL button. The display will show “UndEr”.
5. Weigh the patient following the weighing procedure outlined on the previous page including the item to be tared. The scale will automatically deduct the tare value and only display the patient’s weight.
6. To clear the tare value, press the ZERO/TARE button.

Maintenance

The following pages provide instructions for maintenance, cleaning, calibrating, and troubleshooting of your scale. Maintenance operations other than those described in this manual should be performed by qualified service personnel.

Caution: Before first use, or after long periods of non-use, check the scale for proper operation and function. If the scale does not operate correctly, refer to qualified service personnel.

1. Check the overall appearance of the total scale for any obvious damage, wear, and tear. Inspect the AC adapter cord for cracking or fraying, or for broken/bent prongs. *Not included with model 565KL-C or 565KG-C
2. Do not store the scale on its side.
3. This scale contains electronic parts. Use it carefully. Do not drop, kick, or jump on it.
4. Do not store chemicals, heaters, or radiators.

Note: This scale is an extremely sensitive weighing device. If the auto- off function is disabled, battery power will be consumed. Items such as clothing or towels placed or dropped on the scale may cause it to activate. To prevent the run down of the batteries, do not store or leave anything on the scale.

Cleaning and Disinfecting
Proper care and cleaning are essential to ensure a long life of accurate and effective weighing.

1. Health o meter® Professional recommends using one of the following solutions on a soft cloth or disposable wipe:
   • mild soap and water solution
   • 70% isopropyl alcohol
   • solution with 1-5% hydrogen peroxide concentration After cleaning/disinfecting, wipe with a cloth dampened with water and then with a clean dry cloth. To avoid residue build-up or damp surfaces, ensure all scale parts are completely dry after cleaning.
2. Never use rough or abrasive materials to clean the scale, as these will damage the scale’s finish.
3. Do not submerge the scale in water or any other liquid.
4. Do not pour or spray fluids directly on the scale.

CALIBRATION

Your scale has been factory-calibrated and does not require calibration before use. There are no requirements for calibration in the field; users should adhere to their institution’s calibration policies. If required, the scale can be calibrated. A 5kg weight is required for calibration. If the scale is Everlocked into pounds, the calibration procedure will still require the use of a 5kg weight.

• Note: Avoid scale placement near heating/cooling vents, heating appliances, areas of high airflow, or direct sunlight. Calibration must be done in a controlled environment.
• Note: Only weights certified and traceable to national standards should be used for calibration procedures.

1. Press and hold HOLD/RLS/RECALL, then press and release the button to power the scale. Remain pressing HOLD/RLS/RECALL until “CAL” appears on the display. Release all buttons.
2. Once the buttons are released the following message will display, “CAL59”, “CAL58”etc. until the display counts down to zero. This allows the load cells time to settle before calibration starts. HOLD/RLS/RECALL can be pushed at any time to cancel the countdown, however, this is not recommended.
3. Once the time has elapsed, “2Ero SCALE” will scroll horizontally across the screen. With no weight on the scale, press ZERO/TARE.
4. The scale will be zero and “PLACE 5 ON SCALE PRESS HOLD” will scroll across the screen.
5. Place a certified 5kg weight on the center of the weighing tray, then pressHOLD/RLS/RECALL. “CAL” will flash on the screen while the scale is calibrating.
   • A. If the weiis with in the hehet calibration range, a four-digit number will be displayed for approximately 5 seconds. Remove the weight from the scale and the scale will restart.
   • B. If the weight placed on the scale does not match the correct calibration standard(5 kg), “Out OF RANGE” will appear on the display. Calibration is not performed. Press ZERO/TARE to exit calibration mode. Obtain the correct amount of calibration weight and begin the calibration process again.
