5. Setup

5.1 Power Supply

Your BOMATA Kitchen Scale offers two power options:

• Built-in Rechargeable Battery: The scale comes with a built-in lithium battery. To charge, connect the provided Type-C USB cable to the scale's charging port and a compatible USB power source (e.g., computer USB port, wall adapter). The battery indicator on the display will show charging status.
• AAA Batteries (Optional): For alternative power, you can insert 3 AAA batteries into the battery compartment on the underside of the scale. Ensure correct polarity (+/-).

Important: If you intend to wash the scale, ensure you remove any AAA batteries from the compartment to prevent corrosion. The Type-C USB port is waterproof, but the AAA battery compartment is not designed for direct water exposure.
