Question:
“
How do you use the BabyWeigh Scale?
”
Answer:
Do you have the scale in front of you?
Is the baby’s weight more than 1.102 lbs (500 grams)? Yes
No-if the baby weighs less than 1.102 lbs, you can use this scale, however, it will not lock the weight into memory. Some older scales will only lock in over 2.204 lbs (1000 grams). Are you using the scale with batteries or with the AC Adapter? If Batteries, remove the battery compartment cover from the bottom of the scale housing and correctly place the 6 “C” batteries. When the battery power is low, the display will show LO. If using the AC Adapter, push the small end of the AC Adapter into the receptacle and then plug into the wall outlet.
Is the scale on a flat and level surface? Yes
No - To level the scale; adjust the four legs under the scale until the bubble appears in the center of the Level Gauge. You must dress the baby in the clothes and/or blankets to be worn for breastfeeding. Press the "ON/ZERO" button and wait until a beep is heard and a 0.000 appears in the digital display and it shows CENTER ZERO.
Do you prefer to weigh the baby in pounds or grams?
For grams - Select on the right side of the scale housing the gram measurement.
For pounds - Select on the right side of the scale housing the lb/oz. measurement.
Did you place a cover or blanket on the basket?
Yes - Depress the “ON/ZERO” button again until you hear another beep and see the arrow pointing to “NET.” You will leave the cover or blanket on the scale.
No - proceed to next question. Now place the baby on the basket, holding one hand just above the baby. Wait until the digital display stops fluctuating. When you see the “LOCK” arrow on the digital display, you will hear a beep. This is the baby’s before feeding weight. Press “WEIGHT ENTRY”
Do you see where the arrow is next to “MEMORY WEIGHT?” This means that the baby’s before feeding weight is locked into memory. If you want to keep a log of your baby's weight, you should write the weight down.
