2.5.3 User Precautions
1. Once charging is complete, use the balance without the AC adapter to avoid over-charging. This can occur since the
balance continues to charge the battery with a weak current when the power is switched on. Overcharging will also
decrease battery life.
2. When the balance is used for the first time after purchase, the operating time may be shorter than when using a fully
charged battery. This is due to natural discharge of the battery. Although the balance can be used while [ ] is
flashing, it should be recharged as soon as possible.
3. When the battery displays no indication, or an indication disappears quickly after the balance is switched on, battery
capacity is low. In these cases, either charge the battery immediately, or plug in the AC adapter.
4. Charging the battery while [ ] is displayed reduces battery life.
To operate the balance safely, observe the following (failure to do so could result in malfunctions,
breakage, burst batteries, or fire):
DO NOT disassemble or modify the battery.
DO NOT reverse the balance connection or short-circuit the positive and negative polarities of the
balance.
Use only the supplied AC adapter.
DO NOT incinerate used batteries. Dispose as hazardous material only.
