1.0 Introduction The Rice Lake Neonatal Scale provides precise weighing of babies and neonates. Highly sophisticated microprocessor technology allows accurate, reliable, and repeatable weighments every time. Movement compensation technology eliminates errors caused by spontaneous movement of the baby and the weight display can be displayed in pounds/ounces or in kilograms. This manual can be viewed and downloaded from the Rice Lake Weighing Systems web site at www.ricelake.com/health.
2.0 Assembly Instructions The Rice Lake Neonatal Scale comes with three pieces. Those pieces include: • Weighing tray • Base assembly • Power supply Remove each part to be assembled from its carton and unwrap the packing material carefully to prevent scratching the unit’s parts. Figure 2-1. Neonatal Assembled Parts 1. Place the base assembly on a sturdy, flat surface. 2. Attach the weighing tray to the base assembly. 3. Plug in the power supply.
The Rice Lake Neonatal Scale is also capable of running on its internal sealed lead-acid rechargeable battery if no additional power source is available. The battery life is approximately 75 hours. If the LO Bat indicator is showing on the display, recharge battery or connect the scale to an AC power source as soon as possible for accurate weighing. Battery Charging When the scale is on, the BAT display indicates that the scale battery requires recharging.

Press the ON-OFF key to turn on the scale. 3. When the self test function is complete, the digital display should read: 0-00.00 if set up in Lb/Oz or 0.000 if set up to read in Kg.
4.0 Scale Operation The Rice Lake Neonatal Scale can accurately weigh neonates and babies up to 30 lbs. Use the following steps to weigh a baby. 1. Press the ON-OFF key to turn the scale on. 2. Wait until the 0-00.0 (if set up in Lb/Oz) appears on the digital display or 0.000 if set up in Kg. 3. Place a pad on the weighing tray. Make sure that the edges of the pad are on the tray and are not touching the surface on which the scale is positioned. 4.
5.0 Calibration The Rice Lake Neonatal Scale is pre-calibrated from the factory. But if you need to calibrate the scale, the scale must be turned on. Once the scale is turned on, press the REWEIGH and ZERO keys simultaneously. Hold those keys until LOAD appears on the display alternating with the suggested weight for calibration. The following chart illustrates the calibration procedure. Step 1 2 Function Turn the scale on.
6.0 Troubleshooting & Testing Refer to the following instructions to check and correct any failure before consulting service personnel.
