pack into the recess. Replace the cover and weighplate.

NiCad

Caution: To avoid damage to the scale caused by leaking batteries, remove

flat or damaged batteries immediately.
Please note: Rechargable NiCad batteries are not suitable for this application
due to their inherent short circuit thermal characteristics which can adversely
affect the performance of the scale.
When you see the
symbol flashing on the display (or Battery LED
flashing), then you must either replace the batteries (or recharge the
rechargeable battery).
Using a rechargeable battery pack - Plug the rechargeable battery pack
into the scale and place the pack into the recess. Replace the cover and
weighplate.

Recharging the battery pack - Plug the mains cable into the socket
located on the base of the scale, then switch on using the mains ON/OFF
