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.
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.
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.
