• For raise

(1) When the scale is lifted after measurement, AC Adapter and Controller must

be taken off.

They may be damaged when moving.

2 The Controller Bag is put in the handle.

While moving the scale, the Controller Bag should be hung on the handle of
scale. Controller and AC Adapter should be put into the bag.

3 Hold the handle to lift up the scale slowly. It is easier to lift the scale by using

Caster of scale.

Please stand outside the handle of scale, then lift up.
It is likely to throw your back when forcibly lifting.
* Especially, when the scale is raised, it may fall down due to the heavy weight

of the scale.

•For move

1 Hold the handle and the Caster is used and it moves aside.

Please make sure that there is no obstacle on the floor and watch out for the
slope.

2 It is done centering on the Caster of the middle, and the Platform can be

turned.

It is easier to move the scale by using the Caster.

• For installation

1 Hold the handle, the Caster side is made the fulcrum and it is take down

calmly.

Please be careful for dropping the scale on your feet.

2

All the adjustable feet in four positions should be touched with the floor properly.

Unless all four adjustable feet come in contact with the floor, it may not measure correctly due to equipment malfunction.

3

Please make sure there is no obstacle between adjustable feet and the floor.

Correct measurement may become impossible.

• Do not force yourself to measure by your self.

Receive assistance from a caregiver.

When this equipment is raise, move, and installation, it is done in more
than two people.

In case of the use

Explanation of terminology

This equipment and the attached instruction manual use expressions including the
terminology used in NAWI Directive (90/384/EEC). Read the following explanation
of terminology before use.

• Max (Maximum capacity)

This shows the maximum weight that can be measured by the scale.

[Example]

In the case of Maximum capacity 300kg, it can measure up to 300 kg.
* One exceeding the weighing capacity cannot be measured.

•e (Minimum Graduation)

This shows the amount of one scale mark. In the case of a digital display, this shows the interval of
the numeric value to change.

[Example]

In the case of Minimum Graduation 0.1 kg, the display increases and decreases at an interval of

0.1 kg.

• Extend Minimum Graduation

This is the amount of the scale mark that can display more finely than the Minimum Graduation.
The display range is up to 1/10 of Minimum Graduation (this cannot be used for actions of
transaction certification).

• Tare

The container, bag, wrapping paper, etc., used when measuring weight is called “tare”.
And to measure the net-weight after subtracting the weight of the tare is called "tare weighing."
Moreover, to measure the net-weight after subtracting the weight that is known beforehand without measuring the weight of the
tare at the time of the measurement is called “preset tare”.

•

BMI

This is an abbreviation of Body Mass Index, and is calculated by . “22” is said to produce fewer illnesses.

Safety Notes (continued)

To measure correctly

• Do not use mobile phones or microwave therapy equipment near this equipment.
It may not measure correctly due to equipment malfunction.

• Do not step on the rail.
Correct measurement may become impossible to measure precisely. It may not be measured weight correctly.

Do not measure at a place where the temperature fluctuates greatly.

Errors may be observed in the measured value. In the case to move to a place with a temperature
difference of 20˚C or more, leave it before use for 2 hours or more after moving.

•To avoid electric shock, do not insert or remove the plug with wet
hands.

•To avoid electric shock, do not use the equipment near water.

•To avoid measurement error, do not measure while using equipment that generates
radio waves, such as mobile phone.

•Use only the original AC Adapter (MODEL: SA25-0535U). Using AC Adapters other
than the original one may cause malfunction, smoke or fire.

Make sure you place the Platform on a stable level surface and adjust the level with the
adjustable feet. If the Platform is not stable because not all the feet are on the surface,
