Reinsert the battery cover. 
For battery operation the balance has an automatic switch-off function which can be 
activated or deactivated in the menu (chapter 8.1). Proceed as follows: 
Switch-on the balance using the   key and wait for the „0“ display. 
Press the   key and keep it pressed until „UNIT“ appears on the display.

Use the   key to choose between the following settings: 
1.  „AF  on“:  To save the battery, the balance switches off automatically 3 
minutes after 
     having finished the weighing procedure. 
2.  „AF  off“:  Switch-off function deactivated. 
Use the   key to confirm your selected setting. 
If the batteries are exhausted, „LO“ is displayed; press   and replace the batteries 
immediately. 
If the balance is not used for a longer time, take out the batteries  and store  them 
separately. Leaking battery liquid could damage the balance. 
If there exists an optional rechargeable battery, it has to be connected in the battery 
compartment via a separate plug-in socket. Now the mains adapter delivered with 
the rechargeable battery must be applied.
