2. Operation
2.1 Batteries
If present, pull the battery insulating strip off the battery compartment cover or remove
the battery's protective film and insert the battery according to the polarity. If the scale
fails to operate, remove the battery completely and insert it again. Your scale is equip-
ped with a "replace battery" indicator. When the scale is operated with a battery which
is too weak, "LO" appears in the display field and the scale automatically switches off.
In this case the battery must be replaced (1 x 3V lithium battery CR2032). The used,
completely drained standard and rechargeable batteries must be disposed of in specially
marked collection containers, at toxic waste collection points or electrical product retailers.
You are legally obligated to dispose of the batteries.
Note: Batteries containing pollutants are marked with the following symbols: Pb = Battery
contains lead, Cd = Battery contains cadmium, Hg = Battery contains mercury.
