9. BATTERY OPERATION
The Medical Scales can be operated from the battery if desired. The battery life
is approximately 70 hours.
When the battery needs charging a symbol on the weight display will turn on. The
battery should be charged when the symbol is on. The scale will still operate for
about several minutes after which it will automatically switch off to protect the
battery.
To charge the battery simply plug into the mains power. The scale does not need
to be turned on.
The battery should be charged for 12 hours for full capacity.
Just under the quantity display is an LED to indicate the status of battery
charging. When the scale is plugged into the mains power the internal battery
will be charged. If the LED is green the battery has a full charge. If it is Red the
battery is nearly discharged and yellow indicates the battery is being charged.
As the battery is used it may fail to hold a full charge. If the battery life becomes
unacceptable then contact your distributor.
Note: useless battery should be recycled, not throw away as household refuse
.
