Batteries
The Attendant Bluetooth Digital Chair Scale, Model 6880DS, can use 12 “AA” size Alkaline, Ni-Cad or NiMH
batteries (not included). You must first obtain and install batteries before operations can begin. Batteries are
contained in two battery holders (6 batteries in each holder) on the scale base behind the seat. Access is via
removable panels on the battery compartments.
•
CAUTION!
The Attendant Bluetooth Digital Chair Scale can be operated from Alkaline, Ni-Cad or NiMH
batteries. All 12 batteries must be of the same type. They must all be Alkaline, all Ni-Cad or all NiMH. DO NOT
mix Alkaline and Ni-Cad or NiMH batteries.
•
NOTE:
The scale does not have a battery charging circuit. Should you wish to use Ni-Cad or NiMH batteries,
they must be fully charged before installing. When discharged, Ni-Cad or NiMH batteries must be removed and
placed in an external charger to recharge.
CAUTION:
RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS REPLACED BY AN INCORRECT TYPE. DISPOSE OF USED
BATTERIES ACCORDING TO THEIR INSTRUCTIONS.
Battery Status
The battery status will be displayed when batteries are installed. The battery bar graph on the display indicates
the battery capacity in five steps:
4 segments – the full battery capacity is available
3 segments – the battery is at 80% of capacity
2 segments – the battery is at 60% of capacity
1 segment: – the battery is at 40% capacity
0 segments – the battery is at less than 20% capacity
When the battery voltage drops too low for accurate weighing, the scale display will show
on the small
upper seven-segment display and
on the large lower seven-segment display and shut off. You will be
unable to turn the scale back on until the batteries have been replaced.
Using Alkaline Batteries
When no bars are shown on the battery status symbol, press the
key to turn the scale off, remove the old
batteries and replace with new ones.
Using Ni-Cad or NiMH Batteries
When no bars are shown on the battery status symbol, press the
key to turn the scale off, remove the
discharged batteries and replace with fully charged ones. Place the discharged batteries in an external charger to
recharge.
