Figure 2-2. Power Connection
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.
3. OPERATION
3.1 Turning Scale On/Off
To turn the scale on, flip toggle switch below right front keyboard. The scale performs a
display test, momentarily displays software version, and then enters the active

3.2 Zero Operation
Zero is set under the following conditions:
• 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
Use this mode to measure the weight of a sample in the selected unit of measure.
Press and hold SELECT and press M+ Unit until the desired unit icon is displayed.
Press ZERO to set the display to zero. Put an empty container on the pan, and then
press TARE to tare the container weight. Add material to the container. The display
shows the weight of the material in selected unit of measure.
3.5 Accumulate Mode
Use this mode to store the weight and HI, LO, SUM statistics from a series of samples.
Press ZERO to set the display to zero.
Place the sample on the pan.
Press M+ to store the weight of the sample. Storage is confirmed by the display [n----
x], where x is the sample number. The enunciator above SUM text will illuminate to let
user know there are readings in memory. Remove the sample, wait for stable zero
reading, then place the next sample on the pan. Press M+ to store the weight of the
