The following steps describe the operation of the Model 6745 Baby Scale. Note that a set of
condensed instructions appear on the face of the scale as well.

Basic Weighing Operation

Step 1 Press the ON key. The scale display will turn on showing the model number,
battery status and if the threshold feature is enabled, the last locked weight will
display. Press the UNITS key to select the desired weighing unit. Note that
pressing the UNITS key causes the scale to alternate between pounds & ounces
and kilograms. Annunciators will turn on to indicate which weighing units have
been selected.
Step 2 If desired, a blanket or similar covering may be placed in the baby tray at this time.
Make certain that the blanket does not extend over the tray and touch surrounding
objects (including the scale enclosure) or the weight reading could be incorrect.
Press the ZERO key and make certain that the display shows a zero weight
reading.
Step 3 Place the baby in the baby tray and observe the scale display. If the threshold
feature was enabled during setup and calibration, in a few seconds the Weight
Lock annunciator will turn on, signaling that the weight display is locked and the
baby may be removed from the scale. Note, that if a printer is attached to the
scale, the weight data will automatically print.
Step 4 Remove the baby from the scale.
Step 5 Record the baby's weight from the weight display. Note that after a short period of
non-use the scale will turn off. To resume operation, press the ON key.

OPERATING HINTS

A. Remember that all items (blankets, pads, toys, etc.) that are not to be included in the
weight should be placed on the baby tray and the ZERO key pressed. This will insure
that the item(s) will not be included in the child's weight.
B. If the child is very active it may take a few seconds longer for the Weight Lock
annunciator to turn on. During this time the scale's is busy calculating the weight.
C. If the scale is not in use, press the OFF key to conserve battery life. Note that if the
Sleep Mode was activated during setup and calibration, the scale will turn off
automatically after the time set for the sleep mode.
