After changing the battery, the display remains stuck on 8. How can I resolve this?
Frequently Asked Questions - 05/07/2026
Response Notice-Facile

The number "8" that appears permanently on the screen after inserting a new battery is generally an initial display test. Here’s how to resolve this issue:

Resetting the scale

  • Remove the battery from the compartment located under the scale (marked as #7 in the manual) and wait at least 3 seconds before reinserting it.
  • Check the polarity: ensure that the + and - terminals of the battery are correctly oriented according to the indications in the compartment.
  • Confirm the type of battery: the FAGOR BC-100 scale requires a 9V alkaline battery. A non-alkaline, used, or incorrectly voltage battery can cause this symptom.

If the problem persists

Gently clean the metal contacts of the battery compartment with a dry, clean cloth to remove any oxidation that may block the electrical contact. Then, reinsert the battery, checking the orientation again.

Once the battery is in place and after a correct reset, press the power button: the screen should display all the icons of the initial test, then reset to zero to function normally. Place the scale on a flat, dry surface before any use.

  3. Wait for the display to become stable. The display reading will show the correct weight of the article, e.g.

FAGOR BC-100 - FUNCTIONING - 4

  1. TARE function

You can continue to weigh further articles without removing the article you have already weighed from the bowl. Just press the button once before placing the additional article in the bowl, to set the bare function to zero

8. REPLACE BATTERY INDICATOR

When the battery needs replacing, the following message will appear on the display:

10

on the display. (While the tare function is activated, the word "TARE" will appear at the side of the display.)

FAGOR BC-100 - 10 - 1

Then place the additional article on the scales. The display will show only the net weight of the article that has been added, e.g.

FAGOR BC-100 - 10 - 2

  1. When you begin to remove the articles from the scales, the display will begin to show the negative value of the articles removed, as shown below:

FAGOR BC-100 - 10 - 3

Note: the limit for the bare function is 0.8% of the total capacity of the scales before adjustment.

When the total tare weight exceeds 0.8% of the total capacity, the total capacity will be reduced by the corresponding weight when the scales are tared. For a weight of 100g, for example, which exceeds 0.8% of 5kg (=40g) , the total capacity (previously 5kg) will now be reduced to 4900g (5000g-100g).

  1. Automatic switch-off

When you have finished weighing the articles, press the button to switch off the scales.

They will also switch off automatically if they are left inactive for around 2 minutes.

7. WARNING: DO NOT OVERLOAD THE SCALES

If you exceed the load capacity, the following warning will appear on the display:

HHHH

When this happens, follow the adjustment instructions.

FAGOR BC-100 - WARNING: DO NOT OVERLOAD THE SCALES - 1

Remember that batteries are not household waste. Spent batteries must be disposed of in the special containers provided.

9. MAINTENANCE, CLEANING AND CORRECT USE

  1. The scales are a high-precision appliance and therefore extremely sensitive and delicate. Be careful to prevent any falls or knocks which could seriously damage their accuracy and functioning.
  2. When using the scales, press the buttons gently to activate the functions. Do not press them too hard or use any sharp objects.
  3. Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the scales (this will also prevent the bowl from slipping). Do not use strong chemical solutions such as alcohol or benzene.
  4. Avoid exposing the scales to a high ambient temperature, e.g. ovens or flames, as this will cause rapid deterioration.
  5. Do not expose the scales to environments with strong electromagnetic fields, such as cordless telephones, computers, transformers, etc. as this will interfere with the correct functioning of the electronic and precision system.

  6. Always use the scales on a hard, flat surface. Do not stand them on rugs or carpets.

  7. Do not insert any foreign objects into the openings in the scales.
  8. Remove the battery from the appliance if it is likely to be out of use for some time.
  9. Do not attempt to open the scales to repair them. This will annul the guarantee.
  10. If the scales do not work when they are switched on, check there is a battery inserted or if the battery has run down. Insert or replace the battery and consult your supplier if necessary.
  11. If an error appears on the display and the scales will not switch on, remove the battery for around 3 seconds and then insert it again to remove the temporary error.

10. IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR CORRECT DISPOSAL OF THE PRODUCT IN ACCORDANCE WITH EC DIRECTIVE2002/96/EC.
