BATTERY OPERATION
The scales can be operated from the battery if desired. The battery life can
be up to 90 hours depending on the load cells used and how the backlight is
used.
When the battery needs charging a symbol on the display will show less bars
in the battery symbol. The battery should be charged when only the battery
outline is on. Once the bars have been turned off the scale will still operate
for a short time after which it will automatically switch off to protect the
battery.
To charge the battery, simply plug the adaptor into the mains power. The
scale does not need to be turned on.
The battery should be charged for 12 hours for full capacity.
Near the 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 has a full charge. If it is Red the battery is
nearly discharged and yellow indicates the battery is being charged.
