Optional AC Power Adapter
To power the Attendant Bluetooth Weight Indicator using the optional 12 VDC wall plug-in AC power adapter,
connect the plug from the adapter into the power jack on the back of the indicator and then plug the power
adapter into the proper electrical outlet. Refer to Figure No. 1. On models requiring 230 VAC, it is the
customer’s responsibility to obtain the correct power adapter plug.
Batteries
The Attendant Bluetooth Weight Indicator can use 6 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 a battery holder
inside the indicator. Access is via a removable panel on the back of the indicator.
IMPORTANT! The Attendant Bluetooth Weight Indicator can be operated from Alkaline, Ni-Cad or NiMH
batteries. All six (6) 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.
IMPORTANT! The AC power adapter is also used to recharge the batteries, when the Attendant Bluetooth
Weight Indicator is operated from Ni-Cad or NiMH batteries. DO NOT connect the AC power adapter to the
Attendant Bluetooth Weight Indicator if using Alkaline batteries. Also, when using Alkaline batteries, make sure
the niCAd setup option is disabled (set to 0). Refer to Setup and Calibration or Setup Review.
CAUTION: RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS REPLACED BY AN INCORRECT TYPE. DISPOSE OF USED
BATTERIES ACCORDING TO THEIR INSTRUCTIONS.
Battery Status
The Attendant Bluetooth Weight Indicator will operate for up to 250 hours on new Alkaline batteries or for up to
100 hours on fully charged Ni-Cad or NiMH batteries depending on the condition of the batteries (from new to
about 500 recharges). The battery bar graph on the display indicates the battery capacity in 4 steps:
4 segments – the full battery capacity is available
3 segments – the battery is at 75% of capacity
2 segments – the battery is at 50% of capacity
1 segment – the battery is at 25% capacity
When the battery voltage drops too low for accurate weighing, the indicator will show LoBAt and then shut
off. You will be unable to turn the indicator back on until the Alkaline batteries have been replaced or if using
Ni-Cad or NiMH batteries, the AC power adapter is connected to the display to operate it and recharge the
batteries.
Battery Charging
To recharge the Ni-Cad or NiMH batteries, the AC power adapter must be connected to a power outlet and
plugged into the indicator. It will take approximately 8 to 10 hours to fully recharge the batteries in the display.
Charging the batteries for more than 10 hours will not damage them. NOTE! The indicator may be operated
while the batteries are charging.
