When the battery is being charged for the first time a sufficient charging period of approx. 24 hours is neces-
sary to achieve a full battery load.
If the unit is in battery mode and the display indicates – Lo , the battery needed to be recharged with the mains
adapter. For a full battery load a charging period of 12-16 hours is required with the scale being switched off.
If–
Lo still appears at the display inform your service partner.
Replacing the rechargeable battery
The battery compartment is located on the front of the unit.
1) Open the battery compartment.
2) Remove the battery cables carefully from the housing, connect the wires (red to red, black to black) and
insert the battery into the housing.
3) Close the battery compartment again.
Only use original rechargeable batteries and charger units from ADE. The warranty does not cover any dam-
age caused by using other types of batteries or charger units.
Tips for handling the batteries
The life of a battery depends essentially on the load, frequency of use, temperatures, settings and the acces-
sories used.
– New batteries or batteries that have been stored for long periods require a longer charging period.
– Charge the batteries at room temperature.
– Never expose the batteries to temperatures below -10°C (14°F) or above 45°C (113°F).
– Rechargeable batteries lose their charging capacity over the time and require a longer charging period
the older they are. If the battery performance drops considerably, then it is time to replace the battery.
– New batteries are supplied in partial charged condition. Batteries achieve their full capacity after several
complete charge and discharge cycles.
– Do not throw old rechargeable batteries into the domestic waste. Ensure that the valid legal and munici-
pal regulations of your country are being followed.
– Never dispose of batteries in fire as they can leak or explode!
