

For indoor use only.



Place scale on a flat, level floor or low-cut carpet away from heating and cooling vents.



Make certain the AC Power Adapter cord is out of the way of normal traffic to avoid a

trip hazard.



NEVER allow scale to get wet.

Check to make certain the scale is level. The level indicator is

located at the rear of the scale. If the scale is not level (the

bubble will not be centered), position the scale as required to

center the bubble and attain a level scale.

NOTE: Any time the scale is moved or re-located, be sure to check the level

bubble to ensure the scale is level before using.

The output and power connections to the scale are made on the rear of the scale base.

AC Power Adapter

To power the scale using the 12VDC wall plug-in UL/CSA listed AC power adapter, connect

the plug from the adapter into the power jack on the back of the scale base and then plug

the power adapter into the proper electrical outlet. On models requiring 230 VAC, it is the

customer's responsibility to obtain the correct power adapter plug.

USB

The USB port on the scale is a device (or upstream) port and uses readily available cables

with the industry standard "Micro-B" connector.

The USB port may be connected to a computer for transmission of weight and associated

data to a PC-based EMR (electronic medical record) software program. The data can be

transmitted on demand (pressing the

computer.

Height Rod – Detecto Sonar Height Rod

The Detecto Sonar Height Rod connects to the scale by a snap-in modular connector

socket. Insert the modular connector of the Sonar Height Rod into the socket on the back of

the scale column it locks in place (a clicking sound will be heard when it is locked in place).

Batteries

The scale can use 12 "AA" size Alkaline, Ni-Cad or NiMH batteries (not included). You must

first obtain and install batteries before operations can begin. Batteries are contained in two

(2) battery holders inside the scale base. Access is via two (2) removable panels in the

scale base, accessible after removing the scale platform cover.

CAUTION! The scale can be operated from Alkaline, Ni-Cad or NiMH batteries. All

twelve (12) batteries must be of the same type. They must all be Alkaline, all Ni-Cad

or all NiMH. DO NOT mix Alkaline and Ni-Cad or NiMH batteries.

NOTE: The icon scale does not have a battery charging circuit. Should you wish to

use Ni-Cad or NiMH batteries, they must be fully charged before installing. When

discharged, Ni-Cad or NiMH batteries must be removed and placed in an external

charger to recharge.
