BATTERY SAVER FEATURE
The apex® Portable Scale with Remote Indicator is equipped with a battery saver feature that
helps prolong battery life by dimming the scale display backlight and turning the scale off when
not in use.
Using Batteries
When using batteries, after one minute of inactivity (no motion on scale and no keys pressed)
the scale will automatically turn off. To turn the scale back on you must press the
key. The
backlight on the scale display will be at 50% brilliance to conserve battery life.
Using AC Power Adapter
When using the AC power adapter, the automatic shut-off feature is
disabled
and the scale will
remain on regardless of the length of time of inactivity. In addition, the backlight on the scale
display will be at full brilliance.
