  2. On the patient's tablet, select the Health button on the left side of the screen.  Then select Weight on the left side of the screen.  Select Read from device.  Select the Pair button (make sure “pr” is still on the scale screen, if not hold down the Set button again).
  3. Pairing Device will appear at the bottom of the screen in a white box. Press Ok to complete the process.
