2.5.1 Battery Power:
The scale can be used on AC power immediately. Allow the battery to charge
for 12 hours before using the scale on battery power. The scale will
automatically switch to battery operation if there is a power failure or the power
cord is removed. With AC power, the scale is constantly charging, so the
battery charge indicator (see item 11 in table 3-2) will remain lit. The scale can
be operated during charging, and the battery is protected against overcharging.
For maximum operating time, the battery should be charged at room
temperature.
During battery operation, the battery symbol indicates the battery charging
status. When charging, the symbol will blink slowly and when fully charged the
symbol will stop blinking.

When [Lo.bAt]is displayed, the scale will shut off.
Charging the scale must be performed in a dry environment.
CAUTION: Battery is to be replaced only by an authorized
OHAUS service dealer. Risk of explosion can occur if the
rechargeable battery is replaced with the wrong type or if it is
not properly connected. Dispose of the lead acid battery
according to local laws and regulations.

When Legal for Trade is OFF, the display must return to 0 gross, 0 net or a negative
net value; when Legal for Trade is ON, the display must return to 0 gross.
Otherwise, the Σicon will continue flashing.
Gross loads and net loads cannot be added to the same total. If the first load is a
gross weight, future loads must also be gross weights. If the first load is a net
weight, future loads must also be net weights.
The max of accumulation times is 9999.
Changing the mode will clear the accumulation data.

4.9.3 Verification and Sealing
The local weights and measures official or authorized service agent must perform
the verification procedure.
4.9.3.1 Physical Seals
For jurisdictions that use the physical sealing method, the local weights and
measures official or authorized service agent must apply a security seal to prevent
tampering with the settings. Refer to the illustrations below for sealing methods.

4.9.3.2 Audit Trail Seal (USA and Canada only)
For jurisdictions that use the audit trail sealing method, the local weights and
measures official or authorized service agent must record the current configuration
and calibration event counter values at the time of sealing. These values will be
compared to values found during a future inspection.
Note: A change to an event counter value is equivalent to breaking a physical seal.
The audit trail uses two event counters to record changes to configuration and
calibration settings.
The configuration event counter (CFG) will index by 1 under the following
conditions:
- When the LFT setting is changed from ON to OFF.
- When exiting the menu if one or more of the following menu settings
are changed: Stable Range, Auto Zero Tracking (AZT), Filter, IR
Function and Units (kg, g, oz, lb or lb:oz).
The calibration event counter (CAL) will index by 1 when exiting the menu
if a Span Calibration or GEO setting change is made.
Note: The counter only indexes once, even if several settings are changed.
The event counters can be viewed by pressing and holding the MENU button.
While the button is held, the display will show MENU followed by Audit.
Release the button when Audit is displayed to view the audit trail information.
