2 Introduction The rechargeable battery unit (FXi-09, HRA-09) is exclusively designed for A&D-manufactured balances (of FX-i series, HR-A series). Using the battery unit, a balance can be operated in a location where an AC power source is not available. The battery unit consists of a battery panel and a built-in rechargeable battery that have been installed inside the balance prior to delivery. To install the battery unit into an balance that was not equipped with this option, contact your local A&D dealer. 1-1 Names Balance rear view Illustration using FX-i series as an example.

3 *1: Operation time of the battery depends on operating conditions. *2: The FXi-02, FXi-08 and FXi-09 can not be used at the same time. In addition, the HRA-02, HRA-08 and HRA-09 can not be used at the same time. *3: The battery unit is neither dust-tight nor waterproof. Therefore, upon installing the battery unit onto the FX-iWP and FZ-iWP series dust-tight and waterproof series, the balances will no longer comply with dust-tight and waterproof specifications. Notes For The Battery Unit Number of hours of continuous operation depend on operating condition. While charging, the balance can not be used. The battery may self-discharge while it is left unused for a long period of time. Charge the battery after a long period of non-use. Pressing the ON:OFF key only turns the display off. The balance, after the display is turned off using the ON:OFF key, is still consuming power. To turn the power off completely, disconnect the AC adapter from the balance and turn OFF the power switch that is located on the rear of the balance. (If the AC adapter is connected to the balance under this condition, the battery will start charging.) Every time the power switch on the rear of the balance is turned OFF with the AC adapter connected to the balance, the battery will start charging. Charging the battery before it is completely discharged will shorten the battery life. 1-3 Battery Condition And Operation Below is a list of battery operations according to the combination of the power switch and AC adapter conditions. For details, read each section on the following pages. Operation Power switch AC adapter Description Charging the battery OFF Connected The CHARGER LED indicator blinks and charging starts. After about 10 hours, charging stops automatically and the CHARGER LED indicator goes out. Charge the battery after it is completely discharged. While the charging, the balance can not be used. Using the balance powered by the battery ON Not connected The battery supplies power to the balance. Refer to the specifications for operation time of the battery. None OFF Not connected The battery is not used. Using the balance powered by the AC adapter ON Connected The AC adapter supplies power to the balance. The AC adapter does not charge the battery.
4 Charging the Battery Note Charging the battery before it is completely discharged will shorten the battery life. Charge the battery fully until the CHARGE LED indicator goes out. This procedure will take about 10 hours. During the charging operation, the balance can not be used. Procedure: 1. Make sure that the battery is completely discharged before recharging. How to determine when the battery is completely discharged: When the power switch on the rear of the balance is turned ON without the AC adapter connected, the balance does not operate or the balance displays (Low battery). 2. Turn the power switch on the rear of the balance OFF. 3. Connect the AC adapter to the balance. The battery will start charging. The CHARGE LED indicator will blink during the charging operation. 4. Charging will take about 10 hours. Be sure to fully charge until the CHARGE LED indicator goes out. 5. After charging is complete, disconnect the AC adapter from the balance to avoid recharging.

5 Using the Balance Powered by the Battery Use the battery to supply power to the balance as follows: Procedure: 1. After charging is complete, disconnect the AC adapter from the balance. 2. Turn the power switch on the rear of the balance ON. The battery will start supplying power to the balance. 3. When the balance is not to be used, turn the power switch on the rear of the balance OFF. Under this condition, the battery is not used. Note When the power switch is turned OFF with the AC adapter connected to the balance, the battery will start charging. 4. While the balance is in use, if the remaining charge decreases and the voltage drops, the balance displays or becomes completely inactive. Under such conditions, stop using the balance immediately and charge the battery as described on page 4. Note When the balance displays or becomes completely inactive, be sure to keep the power switch turned OFF to protect the battery. Illustration using FX-i series as an example. 2.

6 Using the Balance Powered by the AC Adapter Use the AC adapter to supply power to the balance as follows: The balance can be used powered by the AC adapter even if the battery is depleted. While the balance is used powered by the AC adapter, the battery is not used and charging is not performed. Procedure: 1. Turn the power switch on the rear of the balance ON. Note Be sure to turn the power switch ON. If the power switch is turned OFF and the AC adapter is connected to the balance, the battery will start charging. 2. Connect the AC adapter to the balance. The AC adapter starts to supply power to the balance. Note When the AC adapter is not connected, the battery supplies power to the balance. 3. When the balance is not to be used, disconnect the AC adapter from the balance and turn the power switch on the rear of the balance OFF. Under this condition, the battery is not used.
