Preparing the 498KL Scale for Use
Replacing / Inserting Batteries
1.
Remove the protective plastic film covering the display (the film says "FACTORY
CALIBRATED").
2. Unplug the optional AC adapter, if connected to a power source.
3. Use a Phillips head screwdriver to remove the battery cover on the side of the display
assembly by unscrewing the (2) battery cover screws (see Figure 5 below).
4. Replace or install the batteries with new units. Health o meter recommends using an alkaline
or lithium battery, rated for 130° F (54° C) operation. Do not use zinc-carbon batteries.
5. Re-attach the battery cover to the display assembly.
6. Ensure all objects are removed from the scale's assembly, and then press the ON/OFF
button to turn the scale on. The display will show "Start", then "0.0" LB or "0.0" KG. Press the
LB/KG button to select the weight mode (LB or KG).
Note: This scale will always default to the settings and units last used (LB or KG).
Note: If the set up procedure failed, refer to the troubleshooting instructions. If the problem is
not corrected, refer to qualified service personnel.
Warning: If the scale will not be used for some time, remove the batteries to avoid a
safety hazard. Disposal of batteries must be performed in accordance with the prevailing
national, regional or local regulations which apply to
you.
