3300-0188-0M Rev L y apex Digital Scale Owner’s 11
BATTERIES
The scale can use twelve "AA” size Alkaline, Ni-Cad, or NiMH batteries (not included). You
must first obtain and install batteries before operations can begin. Batteries are contained in
two battery holders (six batteries in each holder) inside the scale base. Remove the scale
platform cover to access the battery holders in the scale base.
CAUTION! The sc
ale can be operated from Alkaline, Ni-Cad or NiMH batteries.
All twelve 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 apex® scale does not have a battery charging circuit. Should you
wish to use Ni-Cad or NiMH batteries, they must be fully charged before installing.
When discharged, 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. The battery bar graph on
the display indicates the battery capacity in five steps:
4 segments - the full battery capacity is available,
3 segments - the battery is at 80% of capacity,
2 segments - the battery is at 60% of capacity,
1 segment: - the battery is at 40% capacity.
0 segments - the battery is at less than 20% capacity
When the battery voltage drops too low for accurate weighing, the scale display will show
!6 on the small upper seven-segment display and ;; on the large lower seven-segment
display and shut off. You will be unable to turn the scale back on until the batteries have
been replaced.

Using NiCad or NiMH Batteries
