BATTERY OPERATION
The scale can be operated from the battery if desired. The battery
life is approximately 80 hours.
When the battery needs charging a symbol “
” on the weight
display will turn on. The scale will still operate for about 10 hours
after which it will automatically switch off to protect the battery.
To charge the battery, simply attach the power supply module to the
scale and plug in. The scale does not need to be turned on.
The battery should be charged for 12 hours for full capacity.
There is an LED to indicate the status of battery charging on the
right of display. When the scale is plugged into the mains power the
internal battery will charge. If the LED is
Green
the battery has
been charged. If it is
Red
the battery is nearly discharged and
Yellow
indicates the battery is increasing the charge level.
As the battery is used it may fail to hold a full charge. If the battery
life becomes unacceptable then contact your distributor.
Note:
The battery should be recharged every 3 months if the scale
is not used for a long period of time.
