*1: Operation time of the battery depends on operating conditions.
*2: The FXi-02, FX-02A, FXi-08, FXi-09 and GXA-27 can not be used at the same time.
*3: The battery unit is neither dust-tight nor waterproof. Therefore, upon installing the battery unit
onto the FX-i WP, FZ-i WP, FX-WP and FZ-WP series dust-tight and waterproof series, thebalances will no longer comply with dust-tight and waterproof specifications.
Notes For The Battery Unit
Number of hours of continuous operation depend on operating condition.
While charging, the balance can not be used.
The battery may self-discharge while it is left unused for a long period of time. Charge thebattery after a long period of non-use.
Pressing the ON:OFF key only turns the display off. The balance, after the display is turned
off using the ON:OFF key, is still consuming power. To turn the power off completely,
disconnect the AC adapter from the balance and turn OFF the power switch that is located on
the rear of the balance. (If the AC adapter is connected to the balance under this condition,
the battery will start charging.)
Every time the power switch on the rear of the balance is turned OFF with the AC adapter
connected to the balance, the battery will start charging. Charging the battery before it iscompletely discharged will shorten the battery life.
