Dietary/Fitness Technical and Operating Instructions - Scale Assembly
3
The Rice Lake Dietary Fitness Scale is capable of running its internal sealed lead-acid rechargeable battery if no
additional power source is available. Battery life is approximately 75 hours. If the
LO Bat
indicator is showing on
the display, recharge the battery or connect the scale to an AC power source as soon as possible for accurate
weighing.
Battery Charging
When the AC adaptor is connected to a power source, the rechargeable battery goes into recharge mode.
NOTE:
To maintain battery longevity we recommend you charge it on a regular basis rather than waiting until it is fully
discharged.
The LED indicator light on the back of the scale housing will illuminate red during the charging period, and
change over to green when the battery becomes fully charged.
Load Cell Connections
To gain access to the load cell connection point, remove the four back retaining screws and back cover as shown
in Figure 2-1. Figure 2-2 illustrates where the load cell connection point is.

Getting Ready to Weigh a Patient
Once the scale is properly unpacked and set up, and prior to weighing a patient, step on the scale to check the
scale that all functions are working correctly. The scale is calibrated from the factory so simply turn on the scale
and step on the scale to get a weight reading. Press the
REWEIGH
key again to verify that weight.
