The AC adaptor, when not in use, plugs into the back housing of the indicator for storage. Figure 2-2 shows that
location.
The Digital Wheelchair Scale is capable of running its internal sealed lead-acid rechargeable battery if no
additional power source is available. Battery life is approximately 75 hours. If the
LO Bat
indicator is showing on
the display, recharge the battery or connect the scale to an AC power source as soon as possible for accurate
weighing.
Battery Charging
When the AC adaptor is connected to a power source, the rechargeable battery goes into recharge mode.
NOTE: To maintain battery longevity we recommend you charge it on a regular basis rather than waiting until it is fully
discharged.
The LED indicator light on the back of the scale housing will illuminate red during the charging period, and
change over to green when the battery becomes fully charged.
Connect the load cell into the load cell connection point. You will hear a "click" affirming a secure connection.
Put the back on the indicator and secure with the four back cover screws that were previously set aside.
2.4 Getting Ready to Weigh a Patient
Once the scale is properly unpacked and set up, and prior to weighing a patient, step on the scale to check the
scale that all functions are working correctly. The scale is calibrated from the factory so simply turn on the scale
and step on the scale to get a weight reading. Press the
REWEIGH
key again to verify that weight.
