BATTERY OPERATION
The Model 6880 scale can use twelve (12) "AAโ size Alkaline, Ni-Cad, or NiMH batteries (not
included). You must first obtain and install the batteries before operations can begin. The
batteries are contained in two battery holders (six batteries in each holder) located behind the
chair on the scale lower frame.
CAUTION! The scale can be operated from Alkaline, Ni-Cad, or NiMH batteries.
All twelve batteries must be of the same type. They must all be Alkaline, all Ni-
Cad, or all NiMH. Do not mix Alkaline and Ni-Cad or NiMH batteries!
NOTE: The scale does not have a battery charging circuit. Should you wish to use
Ni-Cad or NiMH batteries, they must be fully charged before installing. When
discharged, the Ni-Cad or NiMH batteries must be removed and placed in an
external charger to recharge.
Battery Status
The battery status will be displayed when batteries are installed. The battery bar graph on the
display indicates the battery capacity in five steps:
4 segments - the full battery capacity is available
3 segments - the battery is at 80% of capacity
2 segments - the battery is at 60% of capacity
1 segment - the battery is at 40% capacity
0 segments - the battery is at less than 20% capacity
When the battery voltage drops too low for accurate weighing, the scale display will show !6
on the small upper seven-segment display and ๎๎;; on the large lower seven-segment
display and shut off. You will be unable to turn the scale back on until the batteries have been
replaced.
