Power/Batteries
Head:
Remove the two caps in the back of the CS5000 head. Tip the old cells out.
Change the 8 ‘D’ cells, being careful to put the positive end in first (The end with
the bump). Replace the battery caps.
Base:
Loosen the 2 screws that latch the lid tight so the lid can be opened. Replace the 8
‘D’ cells, being careful to note the polarity indicated on the battery holders. Close
lid and retighten the screws for the latches.
You may use rechargeable 8 Nickel-Cadmium 'D' cells or 8 standard alkaline 'D'
cells in the CS3000.
Warning: If you have the optional charger, do not plug the charger in
while there are standard ‘D’ cells inside. This could result in damage
to the batteries and your scale.
The typical recharge time for Ni-cad cells is 16 hours. The rechargeable batteries
have a life span up to 1000 cycles.
