2. Charging the Battery
Notes
Charging the battery before it is completely discharged will shorten the battery life. Whether
the battery is completely discharged or not can be determined by the POWER SUPPLY LED
indicator when the charger and the battery are disconnected:
Indicator “ON”= The battery has some charge remaining.
Indicator “OFF” =The battery is completely discharged.
Charge the battery fully, until the START LED indicator turns off and the FINISH LED indicator
turns on. This procedure will take about 15 hours.
During the charging operation, the battery will not supply power to the balance.
In case that both indicators of the START LED and FINISH LED blink, the output voltage of the battery
charger is not enough. Use the specified charger and confirm the voltage of the power source.
Charge the battery as follows:
1. Make sure that the battery is completely discharged.
When the battery is completely discharged:
•
With the charger disconnected, when the power switch is
turned to the "POWER SUPPLY" position, the POWER
SUPPLY LED indicator will be off.
•
If the balance can detect the low battery, "
lb
" is
displayed.
Note
The battery can start charging even when the POWER
SUPPLY LED indicator is on.
2. Turn the power switch to the “CHARGE” position.
3. Connect the charger to the battery. The battery will start
charging. The START LED indicator will blink during the
charging operation.
4. Charging will complete automatically after about 15
hours, when the START LED indicator turns off and the
FINISH LED indicator turns on.
5. After charging is complete, disconnect the charger from
the battery to avoid recharging.
