The scale has excellent battery life with most users getting more than two years
from a single set of batteries. Your battery longevity will vary with the frequency
of use and the length of the Auto-Off timer. To help ensure you are never
without the use of your scale, it comes with a battery life indicator. When the
battery pictorial is empty and the frame is flashing, replace batteries within a
couple weeks (Fig. 9).
NOTE: Properly dispose of old batteries. Install four (4) new alkaline D-cell
batteries. Do not mix new and used batteries.
