Inserting/changing the batteries

It is recommended that you use alkaline manganese batteries to operate the measuring

tool.

Note that if you use 1.2 V batteries, you will not be able to perform as many measure-

ments as you would with 1.5 V batteries.

Push the locking mechanism (10) in the direction of the arrow to open the battery com-

partment cover (9) and remove the battery compartment cover. Insert the batteries.

When inserting the batteries, ensure that the polarity is correct according to the illustra-

tion on the inside of the battery compartment.

When the battery symbol

appears on the display for the first time, at least another

100 measurements can be taken. When the battery symbol is empty, you have to replace

the batteries/rechargeable batteries because measurements are no longer possible.

Always replace all the batteries at the same time. Only use batteries from the same man-

ufacturer and which have the same capacity.

u Take the batteries out of the measuring tool when you are not using it for a pro-

longed period of time. The batteries can corrode and self-discharge during pro-

longed storage.

Operation

Start-Up

u Never leave the measuring tool unattended when switched on, and ensure the

measuring tool is switched off after use. Others may be dazzled by the laser beam.

u Protect the measuring tool from moisture and direct sunlight.

u Do not expose the measuring tool to any extreme temperatures or variations in

temperature. For example, do not leave it in a car for extended periods of time. In

case of large variations in temperature, allow the measuring tool to adjust to the ambi-

ent temperature before putting it into operation. The precision of the measuring tool

may be compromised if exposed to extreme temperatures or variations in temperat-

ure.

u Avoid subjecting the measuring tool to violent jolts and falls. Always carry out an

accuracy check before continuing work if the measuring tool has been subjected to

severe external influences (see "Checking the accuracy of the measuring tool",

page28).
