If the battery voltage drops below 5.6V, the scale will turn off

the display. If three of the lights are lit, the voltage is 6.3V or higher. 
If two lights are lit, the voltage is between 6.0V and 6.3V. If only one 
light is lit, the voltage is lower than 6.0V and the unit should be 
recharged.

5.

Battery charging: Power is supplied by a built-in rechargeable lead 
acid battery (6V/4.5Ah). It shows 

-bAtLo-

 when the voltage is low 

and the scale is at zero. The scale can be used for a while, but the 
battery should be charged as soon as possible.  
 
To charge the battery, plug the AC power cord into an appropriate, 
grounded outlet and charge for 12 hours. 
 
If the scale is unused for a long period of time, charge the battery at 
least every 3 months. 

If after charging the battery life is very short, install a new battery.

If there is no active tare, you can zero the displayed weight if it is 
lower than 4% of full capacity. To zero the scale, press the
