10.0 BATTERY AND BACKLIGHT OPERATION
10.1 BATTERY
• The scales can be operated from the battery, if desired. The battery life
is approximately 70 hours.
• When the battery needs charging the battery symbol will appear to be
empty. The battery should be charged as possible. Once the “LO bAT”
message is shown the scale will still operate for about 10 minutes after
which it will automatically switch off to protect the battery.
• To charge the battery, simply apply power to the scale. The scale does
not need to be turned on.
• The battery should be charged for at least 12 hours for full capacity.
• Just above the “Unit Weight” 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 is fully
charged. If it is red, the battery is nearly discharged and yellow
indicates the battery should be charged longer, preferably overnight.
• If the battery has not been used properly or it is used for a number of
years it may eventually fail to hold a full charge. If the battery life
becomes unacceptable then contact your supplier.
