4. Battery Handling Safety Precautions

• Use only the size and type of batteries specified.

• Be sure to follow the correct polarity when installing the batteries. Reversed batteries may cause dam-

• Do not mix different types of batteries together (e.g. Alkaline and Carbon-zinc or rechargeable batteries) 

or old batteries with fresh ones. Always replace batteries as a simultaneous set.

• If the batteries in the device are depleted or the device will not be used for a long period of time, remove 

the batteries to prevent damage or injury from possible battery leakage.

• Do not try to recharge batteries not intended to be recharged; they can overheat and rupture (follow bat-

tery manufacturer’s directions.)

• Do not dispose of batteries in fire, batteries may explode or leak.

• Clean the battery contacts and also those of the device prior to battery installation.

• Remove discharged batteries from the product and dispose/recycle in compliance with all applicable laws.

• Keep batteries away from children and pets. Batteries may be harmful if swallowed. Should a child or pet 

swallow a battery, seek medical assistance immediately.

If present, remove the battery insulating strip 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 reinsert it. Replace the battery cover carefully.
A new battery will last for approximately 1 year if the unit is used three times per day.  

The trial battery supplied with the unit may have a shorter life. Remove battery if you do not intend to use 

the scale for longer periods before placing the device in storage.
Your scale is equipped with a “replace battery” indicator. When the scale is operated with a battery that is 

too weak, “Lo” appears in the display field and the scale automatically switches off. The battery must be 

replaced in this case (2 x CR2032 batteries).
