Power supply 

 

3.1   Power connection 

 
Connect the adapter cord to the bottom of the balance. 
 
Before plugging the cord into the socket, make sure that the voltage setting on the balance 
is the same as the mains voltage.  
 

3.2   Battery operation 

 
Remove the battery cover at the bottom of the balance. Insert six (6) 1.5V batteries (size 
D). Replace the battery cover. 
If the balance will not be used for an extended period of time, remove the batteries and 
store them separately. Battery acid leaks could damage the balance.
