Starting Operation
- Protect the measuring tool from moisture and direct sunlight.
- 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 ambient temperature before putting it into operation. The precision of the measuring tool may be compromised if exposed to extreme temperatures or variations in temperature.
- Make sure that the measuring tool is correctly acclimatised. In case of large variations in temperature, acclimatisation can take up to 30 minutes. This may be the case, for example, if you store the measuring tool in a cool car and then perform a measurement in a warm building.
- Avoid hard knocks to the measuring tool or dropping it. After severe external influences and in the event of abnormalities in the functionality, you should have the measuring tool checked by an authorised Bosch after-sales service agent.
- Do not close or cover the reception lens (2) or the laser outlet aperture (1).
Switching on/off
The following options are available for switching on the measuring tool:
- Switch on the measuring tool using the on/off button (10). The measuring tool will be ready to use again following a brief start-up sequence. No measurement is initiated at this stage and the laser is still switched off.
- Switch on the measuring tool using the measuring button (3). After briefly pressing the measuring button (3), the measuring tool will be ready to take measurements following a brief start-up sequence. If you press and hold the measuring button (3) for more than three seconds, the laser will be switched on after the start-up sequence and the measuring tool will immediately begin measuring.
- 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.
- Do not direct the laser beam at persons or animals and do not stare into the laser beam yourself (even from a distance).
To switch off the measuring tool, press the on/off button (10).
If no button on the measuring tool is pressed for approx. 1 min, the measuring tool will automatically switch itself off to preserve battery life.
