DC Battery Operation

bottom left-hand side of the scale base).

2.3.4

Battery Charging

A fully charged battery allows for approximately 4
hours of continuous use. Refer to SPEC 1 (

Power Auto

Off

function) for extended hours of use. It will take

approximately 8 hours to fully recharge a battery that
has been completely dissipated. The console must be
connected to the base during the recharge cycle and
the AC power cord must be plugged in.

NOTE:

Do not store the scale without turning off the

battery power switch! When the battery switch is ON and
the AC is not connected, a low level battery current will flow
even if the display is OFF. To prevent battery discharge
when stored, turn the battery switch OFF whenever the unit
is not in use.
