Assembly
Inserting/Replacing the Batteries
Using alkali-manganese or rechargeable batteries is recom-
mended for operation of the measuring tool.
Less measurements are possible when using 1.2 V recharge-
able batteries than with 1.5 V batteries.
To open the battery compartment 22, turn the locking knob
23 to position
and pull out the battery compartment.
When inserting the batteries/rechargeable batteries, pay at-
tention to the correct polarity according to the representation
on the inside of the battery compartment.
1 609 92A 1YW | (8.7.16)
When the battery symbol
appears for the first time on the
display, at least 100 individual measurements are still possi-
ble. The continuous measurement mode is deactivated.
When the battery symbol
flashes, the batteries/recharge-
able batteries must be replaced. Measurements are no longer
possible.
Always replace all batteries/rechargeable batteries at the
same time. Do not use different brands or types of batter-
ies/rechargeable batteries together.
Remove the batteries/rechargeable batteries from the
measuring tool when not using it for longer periods.
When storing for longer periods, the batteries/rechargea-
ble batteries can corrode and self-discharge.
Operation
Initial Operation
Protect the measuring tool against moisture and direct
sun light.
Do not subject the measuring tool to extreme tempera-
tures or variations in temperature. As an example, do
not leave it in vehicles for longer periods. In case of large
variations in temperature, allow the measuring tool to ad-
just to the ambient temperature before putting it into oper-
ation.
Avoid heavy impact to or falling down of the measuring
tool. After severe exterior effects to the measuring tool, it
is recommended to carry out an accuracy check (see "Ac-
curacy Check of the Measuring Tool", page 24) each time
before continuing to work.
Switching On and Off
Do not leave the switched-on measuring tool unattend-
ed and switch the measuring tool off after use. Other
persons could be blinded by the laser beam.
For switching on the measuring tool, the following possibili-
ties are given:
– Pressing the On/Off button 16: The measuring tool is
switched on and is in length measurement mode. The laser
is not activated.
– Briefly pressing the measuring button 7: Measuring tool
and laser are switched on. The measuring tool is in length
measurement mode.
– Pressing the measuring button 7 for several seconds:
Measuring tool and laser are switched on. The measuring
tool is in continuous measurement mode.
Do not point the laser beam at persons or animals and
do not look into the laser beam yourself, not even from
a large distance.
To switch off the measuring tool, press the On/Off button 16
for a few seconds.
When no button on the measuring tool is pressed for approx.
5 minutes, the measuring tool automatically switches off to
save the batteries.
When switching off automatically, all stored values are re-
tained.
