IntroductionRanger RP111.3.2 Connecting the power supplyCAUTION!Before connecting the scale to the mains, check whether the voltage value printed onthe rating plate corresponds with the local mains voltage.Never connect the device if the voltage value printed on the rating plate is differentto the local mains voltage.Plug the mains plug into the socket.After connection, the device performs a self-test. When the zero display appears,the device is ready to weigh.Calibrate the device in order to obtain the greatest possible precision, seeSection 4.3.2.Note Partially certified scales (scales with first-level certification) must be certified by anauthorised body or by the OHAUS Service.Call OHAUS Service.Note The battery’s charging capacity can be reduced under continuous mains operation.To maintain the charging capacity, after a maximum of 4 weeks discharge the bat-tery completely before recharging it.Scales with a built-in battery can work independently from the mains for approxi-mately 30 hours in normal operation. A prerequisite for this is that the backgroundlighting is switched off and that no peripheral devices are connected.The device automatically switches to battery operation as soon as the mains supplyis interrupted. When the mains supply is restored, the device automatically switchesback to mains operation.The battery symbol indicates the present charging level of the battery. 1 segment cor-responds to approx. 25 % capacity. When the symbol flashes the battery must becharged (min. 4 hours). The charging period is extended if work is continued duringcharging. The battery is protected against overcharging.
