8.0 BATTERY OPERATION
• The scales can be operated from the battery. The battery life is
approximately 70 hours if only the basic unit is used and the
backlight is not used. If the backlight and a second platform is
used the battery life will be reduced.
• When the battery needs charging the arrow above the low battery
symbol under the “Weight” display will turn on. The battery should
be charged as soon as the arrow above the symbol is 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 plug into the mains power. The scale
need not to be turned on.
• The battery should be charged for 12 hours for full capacity.
• Just under the “Count” display is an LED to indicate the status of
battery charging. When the scale is plugged into the main 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 nearly charged.
