QUICK START / OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (CONT) Tare Function When using these scales, the weight of an object, such as a wheelchair, can be subtracted from the total weight in order to determine the weight of the patient alone. The Tare Function automatically performs this subtraction. The 2650KL and 2700KL scales allow tare weight to be entered manually by using the keypad, or automatically, as outlined in this section. Automatic (Push Button Tare) 1.

With no weight on the scale, the tare value will remain on the display until changed, cleared, or until the scale is turned off. 10. To remove the Tare, press the TARE button again.
QUICK START / OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (CONT) BMI Function Body Mass Index is another name for Quetelet Index, a formula that is a convenient and reliable indicator of obesity.
