10.0  BATTERY AND BACKLIGHT OPERATION 
10.1  BATTERY 
  The scales can be operated from the battery, if des ired. The battery life 
is approximately 70 hours. 
   When  the  battery  needs  charging  the  battery  symbol  will  appear  to  be 
empty.    The  battery  should  be  charged  as  possible.  Once  the  “LO  bAT” 
message is shown the scale will still operate for a bout 10 minutes after 
which it will automatically switch off to protect t he battery. 
   To  charge  the  battery,  simply  apply  power  to  the  sc ale.  The  scale  does 
not need to be turned on.  
   The battery should be charged for at least 12 hours  for full capacity. 
   Just  above the  “Unit  Weight” display is an  LED to indicate the status of 
battery  charging.   When  the scale  is plugged into  t he  mains power,  the 
internal  battery  will  be  charged.    If  the  LED  is  gr een  the  battery  is  fully 
charged.    If  it  is  red,  the  battery  is  nearly  disch arged  and  yellow 
indicates the battery should be charged longer, pre ferably overnight. 
   If  the  battery  has  not  been  used  properly  or  it  is  used  for  a  number  of 
years  it  may  eventually  fail  to  hold  a  full  charge.   If  the  battery  life 
becomes unacceptable then contact your supplier.

“EL on”  Sets the backlight to be on at all times.
