INSTALLATION, CONT.
Battery Operation
The scale can use six C-size Alkaline, Ni-Cad, or
NiMH batteries (not included). You must first obtain
and install the batteries before operations can begin.
The batteries are contained in a battery holder that is
attached to a removable panel on the side frame of
the scale and secured in place with a thumbscrew.
CAUTION! The scale can be operated
from Alkaline, Ni-Cad, or NiMH batteries.
All six batteries must be of the same type.
They must all be Alkaline, all Ni-Cad, or all
NiMH. DO NOT mix Alkaline and Ni-Cad or
NiMH batteries.
NOTE: The scale does not have a battery
charging circuit. Should you wish to use
rechargeable batteries (Ni-Cad or NiMH),
they must be fully charged before
installing. When discharged, the Ni-Cad or
NiMH batteries must be removed and
placed in an external charger to recharge.
Battery Status
The battery status will be displayed when
batteries are installed. A number will be displayed
in the upper right corner of the touchscreen
indicating the level of charge remaining in the
batteries. For example, 100 = 100% charge,
75 = 75% charge, and etc...
When the batteries are at the point they need to
be replaced (Alkaline) or recharged (NiCad or
NiMH) and the battery voltage drops too low for
accurate weighing, the scale will automatically
shut off and you will be unable to turn it back on.
Using Alkaline Batteries
When the batteries are low enough that the
scale turns off, remove the old batteries, and
replace them with new ones.
Using NiCad or NiMH Batteries
When the batteries are low enough that the
scale turns off, remove the discharged
batteries, and replace them with fully charged
ones. Place the discharged batteries in an
external charger to recharge.
