1. Introduction
A
The FXi-09 is a rechargeable battery unit exclusively designed for A&D-manufactured FX-i
series balances. Using the FXi-09 , a balance can be operated in a location where an AC power
source is not available.
The FXi-09 consists of a battery panel and a battery that have been installed into the balance
when purchased.
To install the FXi-09 into an FXi balance that was not equipped with this option, contact your
local A&D dealer.

1-3 Notes on Using the FXi-09
The continuous operation hours depend on the operating conditions.
During the charging operation, the battery 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.
