Setup
Careful assembly is crucial for the accurate and stable operation of your seca 777 scale. Please follow these steps:

- Connect Data Cable: Locate the data cable connection point, typically at the base of the head part. Connect the data cable, ensuring it clicks into place for a secure connection between the display and the weighing platform.
- Install Height Rod: Insert the height rod into its designated slot on the column. Ensure it slides smoothly and is securely seated.
- Power Source: The scale operates on 4 AA batteries (included). Insert them into the battery compartment, usually located at the back of the display unit. An optional AC power adapter (sold separately) can also be used.
