CAUTION!
Patient hazard
In order to avoid misinterpretations, measuring results for medical use
must be displayed and used in SI units (weight: kilogrammes, length:
metres) only. Some devices offer the ability to display measuring
results in other units. This is only an additional function.
► Use the results exclusively in SI units.
► The use of measurement results in non-SI units is the sole
responsibility of the user.
You can switch between the metric units kilograms and centimeters and the
imperial units pounds and feet/inches during the measurement procedure.
The units of weight and height change at the same time.
1. Switch on the measuring station (➔ “Switching on the device”, page 28).
2. Keep the
kg/lbs key depressed until the unit of measurement display
changes.
