Battery Warnings

DANGER: Risk of explosion! Risk of explosion if the battery is replaced with an incorrect type.

• When used correctly, primary batteries provide a safe and dependable source of portable power. However, misuse or abuse may result in leakage, fire, or explosion.
• Always take care to install your batteries correctly, observing the”+” and”-” marks on the battery and the product. Batteries that are incorrectly placed into some equipment may be short-circuited or charged. This can result in a rapid temperature rise, causing venting, leakage, explosion, and personal injury.
• Always replace the whole set of batteries at one time, taking care not to mix old and new ones or batteries of different types. When batteries of different brand or types are used together, or new and old batteries are used together, some batteries may be overdischarged due to a difference in voltage or capacity. This can result in venting, leakage, and explosion, and may cause personal injury.
• Keep batteries out of the reach of children, especially small batteries that could be easily ingested.
• Immediately seek medical attention if a cell or battery has been swallowed. Also, contact your local poison control center.
• Store unused batteries in their original packaging and away from metal objects. Unpacked batteries could get jumbled or mixed with metal objects. This can cause battery short-circuiting, which may result in venting, leakage, and explosion, and personal injury; one of the best ways to avoid this from happening is to store unused batteries in their original packaging.
• Never dispose of batteries in a fire. When batteries are disposed of in a fire, the heat build-up may cause an explosion and personal injury. Do not incinerate batteries except for approved disposal in a controlled incinerator.
• Never attempt to recharge primary batteries. Attempting to charge a non-rechargeable (primary) battery may cause internal gas or heat generation, resulting in venting, leakage, explosion, and personal injury.
• Never short-circuit batteries, as this may lead to high temperatures, leakage, or explosion. When the positive(+) and negative(-) terminals of a battery are in electrical contact with each other, the battery becomes short-circuited. This may result in venting, leakage, explosion, and personal injury.
• In the event that the electrolyte comes into contact with the skin or eyes, immediately flush with fresh water for at least 15 minutes and seek medical attention.
• Never heat batteries in order to revive them. When a battery is exposed to heat, venting, leakage, and explosion may occur and cause personal injury.
• Never attempt to disassemble, crush, puncture, or open batteries. Such abuse may result in venting, leakage, rupture and cause personal injury.

Instructions for Use

•  Always purchase the correct size and grade of battery most suitable for the intended use.
• Replace all batteries of a set at the same time.

• Insert new batteries by putting one side of the battery down first and then pressing down on the other side. Follow the polarity(+/-) marked on the battery compartment.
• Non-rechargeable batteries are not to be recharged.
• Rechargeable batteries are to be removed from the appliance before being charged.
• If the appliance is to be stored unused for a long period, the batteries should be removed.
• The supply terminals are not to be short-circuited.
• Do not mix old batteries with new batteries.

“Tare” function

The Tare function allows you to measure items as they are added to the scale to get the separate and total weight of items.
