Battery Status Symbol
A battery status symbol will be displayed when
batteries are installed. The number of bars
indicates the level of charge remaining in the
batteries.
Low Battery Indicator
When the batteries are near the point they need to be replaced (Alkaline) or recharged
(NiCad or NiMH), the battery status symbol will not show any bars. If the battery voltage
drops too low for accurate weighing, the MV1 will automatically shut off and you will be
unable to turn it back on.
Using Alkaline Batteries
When no bars on shown on the battery status symbol, press the ON/OFF key to turn the
MV1 off, remove the old batteries and replace with new ones.
Using NiCad or NiMH Batteries
When no bars on shown on the battery status symbol, press the ON/OFF key to turn the
MV1 off, remove the discharged batteries and replace with fully charged ones. Place the
discharged batteries in an external charger to recharge.
