10.0 BATTERY AND BACKLIGHT OPERATION
10.1 BATTERY
• The scales can be operated from the battery, if desired. The
battery life is approximately 90 hours.
• 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 is on. 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 plug the scale into the mains and
switch the mains power ON. The scale does not need to be
turned on.
• The battery should be charged for at least 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 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.
10.2 BACKLIGHT FOR LCD
• The backlight of the LCD can be set to be-
1. ON at all the time,
2. ON only when a weight is placed on the scale or
3. Turned off.
• To set the backlight press and hold [Pst] key for 4 seconds.
• The weight display will show “EL xx” where xx is the current setting
for the backlight.
