CAUTION AND WARNING

• To prevent injury and damage to your scale, please follow these instructions very
carefully.

• Assemble and operate the scale per the enclosed user instructions.

• For accurate weighing, this scale must be placed on a flat, stable surface.

• For accurate weighing, verify before each use the proper operation

according to the procedure described in this manual.

• Operating this scale at voltages and frequencies other than specified can
damage the equipment and will void the warranty.

• Do not transport the scale with any weight on the platform.

• Do not exceed recommended weight limit of 400 lb / 180 kg for this scale.

• Do not use in the presence of flammable or explosive materials.

• For accurate weighing, if the “Lo” indicator activates, replace the batteries

or switch to the AC adapter as soon as possible.

• If the scale becomes damaged, it should not be operated until properly serviced. All
repairs should be performed by authorized service personnel.

• When replacing / inserting the batteries, be sure to use new AA batteries.

• To prevent patient injury, the patient must be attended to throughout the

entire weighing event.

When operating this scale with the optional AC adapter:

• Operate this scale exclusively with the AC adapter provided by Health o
meter® Professional. Use of an unspecified adapter will void the warranty,
and can pose a serious safety hazard.

• For use with AC adapter model ADPT40.

• Prior to using this scale, inspect the AC adapter cord for cracking or

fraying, or for broken / bent plug prongs.

• Prior to using this scale, ensure that the AC adapter is plugged into an
outlet with the rated voltage appropriate for operation.

• Ensure that the AC adapter outlet is wired to a circuit breaker or other
protected power source.

• Ensure that the AC adapter and scale do not come in contact with liquids,
excessive temperature, or excessive humidity.

• Unplug the AC adapter, and carefully store both the AC adapter and
adapter cord before moving the scale.

• If the scale is being connected to another medical device, the power
adapter must not be used. Disconnect the power adapter from the scale
and use only the battery power. This ensures proper electrical isolation.
