Battery Installation - Detecto 6745KG Operation Manual

Battery Installation

The 6745/6745KG/6745UK baby scale can use 6 "C" size Alkaline, Ni-Cad or NiMH batteries
(not included). If you wish to operate the scale from batteries, you must first obtain and install
batteries before operations can begin. The batteries are contained in a battery holder inside
the scale. Access is via a removable panel on the bottom of the scale.
The scale can operate for 200 hours of continuous use when using alkaline batteries or with
fully charged Ni-Cad or NiMH batteries, 50 hours of continuous use.
NOTE: When using Alkaline batteries, make sure the niCAd setup option is disabled (set to
0). Refer to Setup and Calibration or Setup Review.
Use the following procedure to install the batteries.
Step 1 With the baby tray installed, turn the scale upside down on a stable surface.
Step 2 Locate the rectangular panel on the bottom of the scale and remove the thumb
screw retaining it.
Step 3 Remove the panel (lift straight up and slide it out) exposing the battery holder.
Step 4 Install 6 "C" size batteries in the holder, making certain they are positioned in
accordance with the polarity markings located in the battery holder. Refer to Figure
No. 4.
Step 5 After placing all 6 batteries in the battery holder, replace the panel on the bottom of
the scale (slide the tab in the slot on the scale) and install the thumb screw.
Step 6 Turn the scale over and press the ON key.
Step 7 If the display turns on, the batteries have been installed correctly. If not, turn the
scale over, remove the panel and check for one or more improperly positioned
batteries.
The 6745/6745KG/6745UK Baby Scale can be operated from a 110-240 VAC
50/60 HZ AC power adapter or from Alkaline, Ni-Cad or NiMH batteries. All six
(6) 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. The AC power
adapter is also used to recharge the batteries, when the scale is operated from
Ni-Cad or NiMH batteries. DO NOT connect an AC power adapter to the scale if
using alkaline batteries.
