USE OF THE BATTERY
The scale can operate with an ac/dc power supply, or with a battery ( 6 volt included). The battery is
rechargeable using the ac/dc power supply and the procedure is the following.
recharge: to make this operation, just connect the scale to the ac/dc power supply for a period of
time approximate to 10 hours with the scale turned off. The energy stored in the battery during a
recharge can last up to 100 hours of continuos operation. When you recharge the battery for some
hours, but the battery can not get enough charge to turn on the scale, then you must change the
battery by a new one. In this case you can contact to your authorized distributor.

CHARGE AND DISCHARGE CYCLES
SERVICE LIFE IN RELATION TO CHARGE/DISCHARGE CYCLES
The charging capacity of the rechargeable battery in this scale decreases according to the number of
charge/discharge cycles,this causes that the service life is reduced to 1000 cycles. For this reason
the warranty period for the battery is limited to six months after the purchase date of the scale.
"LOW BATTERY" INDICATOR
If the battery does not have enough energy to keep the scale operating for a long time, a low
battery indicator appears in the view finder. This is the first warning signal indicating that it is
necessary to recharge the battery.
ç
Even with this signal, it is possible for the scale to keep on operating for a short period of time (30
minutes), but after a second warning signal appears ("low bat") in the display, the scale stops itself
and does not respond to the instructions.
To eliminate any of the two indicators and continue using the scale without any concern, connect the
ac/dc power supply to the scale. And remember to recharge the battery.
