- ♦ Features a convenient swivel display head that can rotate up to 180°, which provides patient privacy and enables operators to easily view and use the control panel from either side of the scale
- ♦ Provides users with the option of using the AC power adapter or 6 AA batteries to power the unit, meaning this scale can still be used in places where there isn’t convenient access to a power outlet
