Neonatal Technical and Operating Instructions - Scale Setup 5
Use the following steps to set up your Rice Lake Neonatal Scale when you initially power it up.
1. To operate the unit using the AC adaptor, plug the AC adaptor cable into the back of the scale as shown
in Figure 2-2 2, and the AC adaptor plugs into a power source.
2. 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. The Charge indicator should also be illuminated on the display up until the battery
is fully charged.
4. Place a weight (not exceeding 30 lbs) on the scale. The digital display should blink until the
weight calculation is complete.
5. Press the
Kg-Lb key to select the weight mode, either in pounds/ounces or kilograms.
6. Pressing the
REWEIGH key forces the scale to recompute the weight of the item on the scale.
7. Remove the weight from the scale. The digital display will continue to show the weight of the item that
was on the scale.
8. Press the
ZERO key and the display will return back to zero.
9. Disconnect the scale from the AC power source. The scale will automatically switch over to battery
power and if a rechargeable battery is in use, the
Charge indicator will turn off.
NOTES:
• If the setup procedure failed, refer to the troubleshooting section of this manual. If the problem is not
resolved, refer to a qualified service provider.
• The rechargeable batteries automatically go into recharge mode when the AC adaptor is connected to the
power source. When the cable is inserted into the power source, the LED light up red which is located to
the left hand side of the cable on the back of the indicator. When the battery is completely recharged, the
LED changes from red to green.
• After the procedure, if you are using a rechargeable battery, connect the scale to an AC power source for
at least eight hours to recharge the battery.
