1.0 Introduction
The RL-DBS Digital Baby Scale provides precise weighing of babies. 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. Rice Lake Weighing Systems is an ISO 9001 registered company.
