Tanita Model 4500 Scale User Manual


 
Attaching Control Panel Box to Handrail
1. Find the control panel box, transformer bracket,
C-clamp and four (4) locknuts.
2. Attach the control panel box to the center handlebar
rail using the C-clamp. Also mount the transformer
bracket on two of the studs extending through the
C-clamp. Secure the control panel box with the (4)
locknuts.
3. Attach the cable lead to the 5-prong jack on the
side of the control panel box. Secure by turning
the knurled ring. Use clips to secure cable to handrail.
Leveling the Platform
To level or adjust the height of the scale platform,
carefully tilt the scale and turn the leveling feet either
into or out of the platform underside.
NOTE: Adjust platform height so it does not touch floor
or carpet. An incorrect weight reading will result if the
ramp touches the floor or carpet.
BATTERY CHARGING
The rechargeable battery in this scale is similar to the
no-maintenance lead-acid batteries used in automobiles.
Since the battery is sealed, no checking of water level
or adding of water to the battery is necessary. However,
recharging at proper intervals and proper storage
procedures are necessary, similar to an automobile
battery. A fully charged battery will provide approximately
250 normal weighings before requiring recharging.
When the display flashes “Lo-b,” the battery needs to
be recharged.
Charging the Battery
A. Plug the battery charger power cord into the 3-prong
jack on control panel box. Secure to handrail with clips.
B. Plug the battery charger into a 120 VAC outlet.
C. The battery will fully charge in 8 hours. THE SCALE
MAY BE USED WHILE THE BATTERY IS CHARGING.
NOTE: The battery cannot be overcharged by the
specially designed charger built into this scale. Do not use
any other charger or adapter, otherwise SERIOUS
DAMAGE TO THE SCALE OR BATTERY CAN RESULT.
Optimum battery life will be obtained if the scale is
operated and stored connected to 120 VAC. Always check
plug to see if scale is charging before moving.
STORAGE: When storing the scale for an extended
period of time (and the unit is not connected to a
120 VAC), the battery should be fully charged. The
battery should then be charged every three months.
A discharged battery should be recharged as soon as
possible to prevent its useful life from decreasing
significantly. A discharged battery left in the scale can
leak and cause permanent damage to the battery and
scale. Store the unit in a cool, dry place.
