After the scale is zeroed/ tared, and the empty bed is in a stable position, a green indicator with
+/- 0,25 e Zero/Tare will appear on the Scale screen. This indicates the bed has an acceptable
zero/tare. Once there is weight in the bed this indicator will not show. If there is an unstable equilibrium
+/- 0,25 e Zero/Tare indicator will also not show. If the empty bed has been zeroed/tared, is in a stable
position, and the indicator is not on, the bed will need to be re-zeroed/tared.
