You can hang the Patient Transfer Scale on the wall either horizontally or vertically, using the
hooks provided. To hang horizontally, your hooks will need to be positioned exactly 55”
(1400mm) apart, center to center. To hang vertically, your hooks will need to be positioned 24”
(610mm) apart, center to center. It is suggested to hang the scale near a power outlet to be able
to easily attach the battery charger.
Use the Patient Transfer Scale and the hooks to determine the positioning of the hooks on the
wall, and mark drill holes. Drill holes should be exactly 55” (1400mm) or 24” (610mm) apart, as
per above.

RECHARGING THE SCALE
We recommend fully charging the scale before first use. To fully charge the scale, please allow
8 hours.
When the low battery indicator on the LCD display indicates that the scale needs recharging,
move the scale to a location where it can be charged. You will find the charging port on the
underside of the scale.
The port for the charging cable is magnetic. Clip the end of the cable in place and plug the other
end of the cable into a power outlet. Please do not use any form of charging cable other than
the one supplied with the scale. The scale cannot be used whille recharging.

PREPARING TO USE THE SCALE
1” /
The Patient Transfer Scale should be used in line with your facility’s current moving and
handling policies. Essentially, it should be used in the same way you would use a transfer board,
taking into account of course that you will need to pause for a few seconds during the transfer
process, to allow the scale to capture the patient’s weight.
The Patient Transfer Scale should only be used by trained professionals.
Ensure brakes on castors are applied before you begin the transfer process.
Ensure that stretcher/bed frames are touching before you start the transfer process.
There should be no more than 8”/200mm between mattresses. There should also be
8”/200mm or more of the Patient Transfer Scale on each bed or stretcher before use.
When transferring, the two surfaces must be of similar height. A tilt of less than 3% (one
side raised by around 1”/25mm) is ok; a tilt greater than this will affect the scale’s
accuracy. To avoid showing an inaccurate reading, the scale will display an error
message if tilt exceeds 3% (see Error Messages).
Patient should be lying flat for better accuracy.
The Patient Transfer Scale should be used with a slide sheet.
Warning: The Patient Transfer Scale should not be used to carry patients.
Guidance for safe use can also be found on the scale itself.
