WARNING
USER MANUAL

• Normal charging
- Charging takes up to 6-7 hours for a full charge (a partially discharged battery will be
fully charged sooner).
- When the battery is fully charged, charger stops automatically.
- After charging, the battery should be taken out of the charger.
• Storing the battery
- When the weighing system is not used for a longer period, make sure the battery has
approximately 70% of the battery capacity remaining. Take care not to let the battery
become completely empty by charging it every 6 months.
- Store the battery separated from the weighing system in an indoor place
(approx. +10°C - +20°C) where it is not exposed to direct sunlight or rain.
• Battery life
The battery is a consumable item. The battery will gradually lose its capacity for charging
after repeated use and after time has passed. If the operating time that the battery can be
used becomes shorter and shorter, it has probably reached the end of its life.
Note: For replacement or additional battery pack, contact your distributor.
• About used batteries
Lithium ion batteries are recyclable, valuable resources. For recycling of broken or used
batteries, follow the local guidelines in your country. If you are not sure, please sent back
to the distributor for proper way of recycling.
Disposal information for countries outside the European Union
