Press the locking mechanism (5) upwards to open the battery compartment cover (6)
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.
Reattach the battery compartment cover (6) and press it firmly into place at the marked
point above the locking mechanism (5).
If the batteries are running low, the laser points will gradually become dimmer.
If the batteries are almost empty, the laser points will flash 5 times every minute.
If the batteries are empty, the laser points will flash once before the measuring tool
switches off.
Always replace all the batteries at the same time. Only use batteries from the same man-
ufacturer and which have the same capacity.
Take the batteries out of the measuring tool when you are not using it for a pro-
u
longed period of time. The batteries can corrode and self-discharge during pro-
longed storage in the measuring tool.
Operation

Starting Operation

Protect the measuring tool from moisture and direct sunlight.
u
Do not expose the measuring tool to any extreme temperatures or fluctuations in
u
temperature. For example, do not leave it in a car for extended periods of time. If it
has been subjected to significant fluctuations in temperature, first allow the measur-
ing tool to adjust to the ambient temperature and then always carry out an accuracy
check before continuing work (see "Accuracy Check of the Measuring Tool",
page 24).
The precision of the measuring tool may be compromised if exposed to extreme tem-
peratures or fluctuations in temperature.
Avoid substantial knocks to the measuring tool and avoid dropping it. Always
u
carry out an accuracy check before continuing work if the measuring tool has been
subjected to severe external influences (see "Accuracy Check of the Measuring Tool",
page 24).
Switch the measuring tool off when transporting it. The pendulum unit is locked
u
when the tool is switched off, as it can otherwise be damaged by big movements.
