Optional AC Power Adapter

To power the 750EU using the optional 12 VDC wall plug-in AC power adapter, connect the
plug from the adapter into the power jack on the back of the indicator and then plug the power
adapter into the proper electrical outlet. Refer to Figure 1. On models requiring 240 VAC, it is
the customer's responsibility to obtain the correct power adapter plug.

Batteries

The 750EU indicator can use 6 "AA" size Ni-Cad or NiMH batteries (not included). You must
first obtain and install batteries before operations can begin. Batteries are contained in a battery
holder inside the indicator. Access is via a removable panel on the back of the indicator.
IMPORTANT! The 750EU can be operated from Ni-Cad or NiMH batteries. All six
(6) batteries must be of the same type. They must all be all Ni-Cad or all NiMH. DO
NOT mix Ni-Cad and NiMH batteries.
IMPORTANT! The AC power adapter is also used to recharge the batteries, when
the 750EU is operated from Ni-Cad or NiMH batteries. Make sure the niCAd setup
option is enabled (set to 1). Refer to Setup and Calibration or Setup Review.
CAUTION: RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS REPLACED BY AN
INCORRECT TYPE. DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES ACCORDING TO THE
INSTRUCTIONS.
ATTENTION: RISQUE D'EXPLOSION SI LA BATTERIES EST REMPLACE'E PAR
UN TYPE INCORRECT. REJETEZ LES BATTERIES UTILISE'ES SELON LES
INSTRUCTIONS.

Battery Status

The 750EU indicator will operate for up to 100 hours on fully charged Ni-Cad or NiMH batteries
depending on the condition of the batteries (from new to about 500 recharges). The battery
bar graph on the display indicates the battery capacity in 4 steps:
4 segments - the full battery capacity is available,
3 segments - the battery is at 75% of capacity,
2 segments - the battery is at 50% of capacity,
1 segment: - the battery is at 25% capacity.
When the battery voltage drops too low for accurate weighing, the indicator will show LoBAt
and then shut off. You will be unable to turn the indicator back on until the batteries have been
replaced or the AC power adapter is connected to the indicator to operate it and recharge the
batteries.

Battery Charging

To recharge the Ni-Cad or NiMH batteries, the AC power adapter must be connected to a
power outlet and plugged into the indicator. It will take approximately 8 to 10 hours to fully
recharge the batteries in the display. Charging the batteries for more than 10 hours will not
damage them. NOTE! The indicator may be operated while the batteries are charging.
