11.2 Charging
Method
※
While the balance is battery-operated, [

] (charging
required) when battery capacity decreases. If the balance flashes [
], charge the battery by

Precautions
1.
Once charging is complete, use the balance without the AC adapter to avoid over-charging. This
can occur since the balance continues to charge the battery with a weak current when the power is
switched on. Overcharging will also decrease battery life.
2.
When the balance is used for the first time after purchase, the operating time may be shorter than
when using a fully charged battery. This is due to natural discharge of the battery. Although the
balance can be used while [
] is flashing, it should be recharged as soon as possible.
3.
When the battery displays no indication, or an indication disappears quickly after the balance is
switched on, battery capacity is low. In these cases, either charge the battery immediately or plug
in the AC adapter.
4.
Charging the battery while [
] is displayed reduces battery life.

Cautions

malfunctions, breakage, burst batteries, or fire):
1.
Do not disassemble or modify the battery. Do not reverse the balance connection or short-circuit
the positive and negative polarities of the balance.
