Preparing the 499KL Scale for Use
Replacing / Inserting Batteries
1.
Remove the protective plastic film covering the display (the film says "FACTORY
CALIBRATED").
2. Unplug the optional AC adapter, if connected to a power source.
3. With a Phillips head screwdriver remove the screw from the battery compartment cover and
remove the battery cover on the back of the display assembly by pressing the locking tab (see
Figure 9 on page 14).
4. Replace or install the 6 AA batteries with new units. Health o meter recommends using an
alkaline or lithium battery, rated for 130° F (54° C) operation. Do not use zinc-carbon batteries.
5. Re-attach the battery cover to the display assembly.
6. Ensure all objects are removed from the scale's assembly, and then press the ON/OFF
button to turn the scale on. The display will show "Start", then "0.0" LB or "0.0" KG. Press the
LB/KG button to select the weight mode (LB or KG).
Note: This scale will always default to the settings and units last used (LB or KG).
Note: If the set up procedure failed, refer to the troubleshooting instructions. If the problem is
not corrected, refer to qualified service personnel.
Warning: If the scale will not be used for some time, remove the batteries to avoid a
safety hazard. Disposal of batteries must be performed in accordance with the prevailing
national, regional or local regulations which apply to
you.

Figure 7 on page 12).
Warning: To avoid a safety hazard, use AC adapter ADPT 31 (Domestic, USA) or ADPT30
(International, plug
kit).
2. Plug the scale's AC adapter into the power source.
3. When the AC adapter is disconnected from the scale, the scale will switch to battery power if
batteries are installed.
