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 website at
