Operation
Initial Operation
 Keep the measuring tool dry and protect it from direct
sunlight, dust and dirt.
 Do not subject the measuring tool to extreme tempera-
tures or variations in temperature. As an example, do
not leave it in vehicles for a long time. In case of large vari-
ations in temperature, allow the measuring tool to adjust to
the ambient temperature before putting it into operation.
In case of extreme temperatures or variations in tempera-
ture, the accuracy of the measuring tool can be impaired.
 Ensure that the measuring tool is correctly acclima-
tised. In case of severe variations in temperature, the ac-
climatisation time may be up to 15 mins.
 Avoid hard knocks to the measuring tool or dropping it.
After severe external influences and in the event of abnor-
malities in the functionality, you should have the measur-
ing tool checked by an authorised Bosch after-sales ser-
vice agent.
 The measuring tool is equipped with a radio interface.
Local operating restrictions, e.g. in airplanes or hospi-
tals, are to be observed.
Switching On and Off
Take the protective cap 21 off the infrared reception lens 23
and the protective cap 19 off the humidity and ambient tem-
perature sensor 5. During work, ensure that the camera
22, reception lens 23 and sensor 5 are not closed off or
covered, otherwise correct measurement will not be pos-
sible.
To switch on the measuring tool, press the On/Off button 12
or the measure button 4. A start sequence will appear on the
display 18. After the start sequence, the measuring tool will
be in the operating mode that was saved the last time the tool
was switched off. The lasers are not yet switched on.

Only the first time the tool is started up, the "Tool" menu will
additionally appear after the start sequence. In this menu you
can define the settings of the measuring tool, such as the lan-
guage of all indications (for operation, see ""Tool" Submenu",
page 15). Confirm the selected settings by pressing the left-
hand function button 17. All settings can also be changed
subsequently in the "Tool" submenu.
 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.
 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.
In the factory setting, the brightness of the display lighting is
reduced 30 s after each button press to save energy. Pressing
any button will switch the display lighting back to full strength.
You can change this lighting time in the "Light Duration"
menu (see "Light Duration", page 16).
To switch off the measuring tool, press the On/Off button.
The measuring tool saves the current operating mode and the
settings and then switches off. Put the protective cap 21 back
on the reception lens 23 and the protective cap 19 on the hu-
midity and ambient temperature sensor 5.
Do not switch off the measuring tool by removing the battery
pack or battery adapter because this may damage the internal
memory in certain cases.
In the "Shutdown Time" menu you can set whether and after
which time interval the measuring tool will automatically
switch off if no button press/measurement occurs (see "Shut-
down Time", page 15). The current operating mode and the
settings are also saved when the tool switches off automati-
cally.
If the battery or the measuring tool is not within the operating
temperature range stated in the Technical Data, the measur-
ing tool will shut down automatically after a brief warning (see
"Troubleshooting – Causes and Corrective Measures",
page 16). Allow the measuring tool to reach to the correct
temperature and then switch it back on.
Setting the Zoom Level
For ongoing measurements and when rendering saved
screenshots, the image detail on the display can be shown in
three different zoom levels: 0.5 m, 2 m and 5 m.
The zoom levels are optimised for the corresponding distance
between measuring tool and measuring object: at a measur-
ing distance of 2 m, the zoom level "2 m" renders the (typical-
ly) best image detail.
The current zoom level appears in the indicator e. Press the
upward arrow button 16 to increase the zoom level, and the
downward arrow button 13 to reduce it.
