Mount the display unit in a way that facilitates operation and where it is easy to see. 6.3 Scope of delivery / serial accessories: For display unit, see chapter 2 Mains adapter Operating instructions KFE-TM-BA_IA-e-1313...
6.5 Mains connection Power is supplied via the external mains adapter. The stated voltage value must be the same as the local voltage. Only use original KERN mains adapters. Using other makes requires consent by KERN. 6.6 Storage battery operation (optional) Before the first use, the battery should be charged by connecting it to the mains
power supply for at least 12 hours.
The weight to be used depends on the capacity of the scale. Carry out adjustment as near as possible to the scale’s maximum weight. Info about test weights can be found on the Internet at: http://www.kern sohn.com. Observe stable environmental conditions. Stabilisation requires a certain warm-up time.
