Zero/Tare the Scale or New Patient
Required Bed Position to Zero/Tare the Bed
If the bed is on an uneven floor surface, weighing or zero/tare is not possible. The “Out of Position
Screen” indicating Trendelenburg/Reverse Trendelenburg is out of position will appear. If
Trendelenburg/Reverse Trendelenburg is level, move the bed to a flat floor surface and retry weighing
or zero/tare.
The Zero/Tare function lets the caregiver reset the scale system before a new patient uses the bed.
1. Remove equipment and accessories from the bed.

Zero/Tare the Bed” on page 46.

• Bed height (D) full up position
• Foot fully extended (E)
