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. Press the
ZERO
key to cancel the weight of the pad or other accessory that is on the weighing tray.
5. Place the infant on the scale. The display will blink until the weight of the infant is determined.
6. Press the
REWEIGH
key to weigh the infant again (used to achieve a more accurate result).
7. Remove the infant from the scale. The digital display should continue to read the infant’s weight until
REWEIGH
or the
ZERO
key is pressed.
NOTE: If the scale is not used for five minutes, it switches off to save battery life and power. To restart the scale, press
the ON-OFF key.
