Battery Maintenance

Battery type
RE Series provides alternative to use battery. You can see the left sticker in the battery holder.
The default status is that the switch is covered by the sticker, and default location of the
switch is on the NIMH side, it means to
If you would like to use D-cell, please break the box in the middle of the sticker, and push the switch to the D-cell
side, in this status, charging function is disabled automatically.
Always make sure that all six batteries have the same capacity. Please contact your authorized dealer for more
information.
Notice:
Whenever you change the battery, please check the switch location to be sure that you chose the right battery type.
Installation
Before you install the batteries, make sure that the external power supply is disconnected. Turn the scale upside
down and lay the scale carefully on the platter. Open the battery cover by pressing the two buttons, and then install
the batteries as shown on the battery holder. Close the cover by just putting it back and pressing it to the right
location.
Operation
When the scale is running on the battery power, the functionality will be same as when it is running on external
power. Additionally, the so called "Sleep" function can be used, please refers to the step-up step 2. When the scale
has activated the "Sleep" mode, simply depress any key to wake the scale.
When the power of the batteries is used, the battery cursor will light up to indicate the state of the battery.
: The battery is full or fully charged.
: Only about 2/3 power of the battery left
: Only about 1/3 power of the battery left
: The power of the battery is at a critical level. The scale will be automatically turned off when the voltage of the
battery is lower than 6V to prevent any wrong weight display.
Charging (automatically)
The automatic charging will only start when the battery capacity has dropped below approx. 5% of its capacity.
The scale allows recharging the NIMH batteries automatically and easily. To charge new NIMH batteries, please
allow between 10~15 hours, depending on the battery type selected. To charge the batteries, simply connect the
scale to the external power supply and switch the scale on.
During the charging, the battery cursor will blink. The quantity of the blocks inside the outline indicates how much
power the battery now has. When blinking stop, the batteries are fully charged.
Manually Charging
To enable you to charge the batteries at any time at your convenience, even when they are not yet below approx. 5%
of their capacity, the charging can be started manually. If the scale is connected to the external power supply and
is switched on. Simply press the key-00 and keep it depressed for approx. 3 seconds, until the battery cursor's
outline start blinking. When the cursor has stopped blinking, the batteries are fully charged. Assuming the power is
not interrupted during recharging.
Note
The total operation time of the scale on fully charged batteries depends on the basic capacity (mAh) of the
batteries. The capacity of the NIMH batteries will reduce over the years and therefore also the total operation time
of the scale. This is not an error of the scale, but it is normal behavior of the NIMH batteries.
