Removing the iso-strips
The batteries are already inserted on delivery and, for protection against premature
discharge, are provided with an iso-strip. In order to start up the scales, you must remove
the iso-strips. The battery compartment is located on the underside of the device.
1. Press the locking tab slightly towards the battery compartment cover and remove it.
2. Pull out the iso-strips.
3. Put the battery compartment cover back in place.
Inserting/changing batteries
For use you require 2 batteries of type CR2032, 3 V.
1. Remove the battery compartment cover.
Slide the batteries against the contact springs under the large, square retaining
tabs and then press them downwards. The batteries will then snap into place on
the opposite retaining tabs so that the batteries are firmly set in their holder.
− Pay attention to the correct polarity (+/-).
− The plus pole (+) of each battery must point upwards.
2. Put the battery compartment cover back in place. The locking tab must snap
securely into place.
Notes on changing the battery:
The batteries need to be changed when "LO" or nothing is shown on
the display.
Only use the type of battery that is specified in the "Technical Data".
Always exchange all of the batteries at the same time.
Dispose of batteries in an environmentally appropriate way (see "Disposal").
Operation
Weighing
1. Place the scales on an even, firm, and dry surface. Carefully position the scales in
order to avoid hard impacts to the sensors/feet and therefore to avoid damage.
2. Switch on the scales by pressing the /T button.
Wait a moment until "0" appears on the display.
3. Hold down the UNIT button for approx. 2 seconds to select the correct setting for
the material to be weighed. Note the display:
Kitchen scales KE 1703 | KE 1704 | KE 1705
