Operating Modes - Bosch PDO Multi Bedienungsanleitung

To switch on switch on the measuring tool on, press any button.
When switching the measuring tool on with the wood-detection button 5
or with the metal-detection button 6, it will automatically be in the respec-
tive detection function.
When switching the measuring tool on with the "on/off" button 7 or with
the "ZOOM" button 4, it will be in the detection function last used.
After a brief self-check, the measuring tool is ready for operation. When the
measuring tool is in the metal-detection function, the service readiness is indi-
cated through a check mark behind the "AutoCal" calibration indicator g.
To switch the measuring tool off, press the "on/off" button 7.
If none of the measuring tool buttons are pressed for approx. 5 minutes, the
measuring tool switches off automatically in order to extend the service life
of the battery.

Operating Modes

The measuring tool detects objects below the sensor area 9.
Detecting Metal Objects
When scanning for metal objects, press the metal-detection button 6. The
metal detection indicator symbol c is indicated in the display and the illumi-
nated ring 1 lights up green.
react, press the "ZOOM" button 4 and keep it pressed while continuing to
move the measuring tool over the area. Observe only the zoom measuring
indicator e for the scan.
If there are any metal inclusions in the material being scanned, then a con-
tinuous signal is indicated in the measuring indicator f. In this case, press
the "ZOOM" button 4 and keep it pressed while continuing to move the
measuring tool over the area. Observe only the "Zoom" measuring indicator
e for the scan.
If the metal object found is a magnetic (e.g. iron), then the indicator for
magnetic metals h is displayed. For non-magnetic metals, the indicator for
non-magnetic metals i is displayed. In order for the measuring tool to dif-
ferentiate between the metal types, it must be positioned above the
detected metal object (the illuminated ring 1 lights up red). For weak sig-
nals, the indication of the metal type is not possible.

Place the measuring tool on the surface to be scanned and
move it sidewards. When the measuring tool comes close
to a metal object, the amplitude in the measuring indicator
f increases and when it is moved away, the measuring indi-
cator decreases. At the position of the maximum ampli-
tude, the metal object is below the centre of the sensor
(below the marking hole 2). As long as the measuring tool
is above the metal object, the illuminated ring 1 lights up
red and a steady tone sounds.
To localise the object precisely, press the "ZOOM" button
4 and keep it pressed while repeatedly (3x) moving the
measuring tool over the object. The "Zoom" function indi-
cator d appears in the display. The "Zoom" measuring indi-
cator e has the greatest amplitude over the centre of the
metal object.
When very small or deeply embedded metal objects are
being detected and the measuring indicator f does not
