INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing Detecto Model 6700 Series Neonatal Scale. This
instrument has been designed and manufactured in the USA.
The Model 6700 Series Neonatal Scale is a solid-state digital scale designed
for weighing newborn infants.
The Neonatal Scale features a lb/kg key for metric conversion of the infant’s
weight. The TARE/ZERO key function subtracts blanket or cover weight on
the scale platform allowing the display of infant net weight only. The scale
tray incorporates a length measurement scale (in inches) for measuring
infant length. Reliable electronic circuitry permits accurate weighing of a
moving infant and locks weight on the display (even after removal of the
infant) until CLEAR WT key is pressed.
This manual will help to acquaint you with the proper setup, operation, and
care of the Model 6700 Series Neonatal Scale. Please read it before
attempting to use the scale and keep it handy for future reference.

COMPONENTS AND CONTROLS

INSTALLATION
1. Unpack scale and infant tray and note any discrepancies in its condition.
Keep carton and packing for return shipment of instrument if necessary.
2. Place scale on a stable, vibration-free location away from direct sunlight
and away from any rapidly moving air source. Make certain power cord is
stored out of the way of normal traffic.
Do not place scale on any unstable cart, stand, or
table. The scale may fall, causing injury to an infant
or adult and seriously damage the unit; or proper
operation of the scale may be inhibited.
3. Before mounting infant tray onto scale, if necessary, level scale by
adjusting the four legs on bottom of scale, up or down, until the bubble in the
level gage, located on the weigh bridge, is centered as shown in illustration
below. After level is achieved, lock legs in place by tightening lock nuts on
legs against scale bottom.

4. Place infant tray on scale with inch measure on tray facing operator. Align
screw holes and secure tray to weigh bridge using the two nylon screws
provided. Do not overtighten the nylon screws. Make certain infant tray is not
touching any surrounding material or objects.

POWER SUPPLY
1. Plug power cord into a fully grounded, 3-pronged wall receptacle that
supplies 115 VAC power. If an extension cord must be used, it should be a 3-
wire, fully grounded type.
2. If a 2-pronged wall receptacle is encountered, it is the responsibility of the
customer to contact a qualified electrician to replace the 2-pronged
receptacle with a properly grounded 3-pronged wall receptacle or have a
grounding adapter properly installed in the 2-pronged receptacle.
To avoid electrical hazard, DO NOT, under any conditions,
cut, remove, or bypass the power cord grounding prong!
3. On Models requiring 230 VAC power, it is the responsibility of the
customer to have a qualified electrician install the proper power cord plug
which conforms to national electrical codes and local codes and ordinances.
START-UP
1. Switch power ON. Power switch is located on right end of backside of
scale.
2. When switched on, scale will perform a brief test routine shown on all
displays. When scale is ready for use, the display will show zero.
KEYBOARD FUNCTIONS
lb/kg* lb/kg key allows scale to measure in pounds/ounces or
kilograms/ grams. Pressing lb/kg key after scale locks
weight on display converts lb/oz to kg/g and conversely.
Appropriate indicators illuminate.
TARE/ZERO TARE/ZERO subtracts tare weight, zeros scale, and
displays NET weight. With scale unloaded, press
TARE/ZERO key to reset scale to zero.
CLEAR WT. CLEAR WT. key clears locked weight from display. If
infant movement causes display to continuously flash
during weighing operation, press CLEAR WT. to lock
weight on display
* Does not apply to Models 6732 and 6733.
