2.3.1 Battery Power
The scale can be operated on the internal rechargeable battery when AC power is not
available. The scale will automatically switch to battery operation if there is a power
failure or the power cord is removed.
Before using the scale for the first time, the battery should be fully
charged for up to 12 hours. During charging, the battery Indicator
displays the charge level (see table 1-1), and the scale can be operated
during charging. The battery is protected against over charging and the
scale can remain connected to the AC power line.
NOTE:
• Charging the scale must only 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 replaced with the wrong type or connected
improperly
Dispose of the lead acid battery according to local laws and regulations
2.4 Initial Calibration
When the scale is operated for the first time, a Span calibration is recommended to
ensure accurate weighing results. Before performing the calibration, be sure to have
the appropriate calibration weight.
Refer to section 4.3 for Span calibration procedures.

• Automatically at Power On (initial zero).
• Manually by pressing the ZERO button.
Press the ZERO button to zero the weight display. The scale must be stable and
weight +/- 2% of capacity to accept zero operation.
3.3 Manual Tare
Place a container on the weighing pan, then press TARE. The display will show a net
value of “0”. To clear the Tare value, press TARE with the pan empty.
3.4 Weighing Mode
