Battery Information
This scale operates on 1 – 3 volt CR2032 lithium battery (installed). There is a strip under the lithium
battery cover to prevent battery drain in shipping. Please remove the strip before continuing with these
instructions. Also, some models have a static cling label on the lens to prevent scratching. Please
remove before use.
Replace the battery when "Lo" appears on the display, or the readings grow dim or irregular. To replace
the battery:

2. Remove screw (or screws) from the battery compartment cover on the bottom of the scale and remove
the cover.
3. Remove the old battery from the compartment.
