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.
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 batteries/
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.
