Assembly
Inserting/changing the batteries
It is recommended that you use alkaline manganese batteries to operate the
measuring tool.
To open the battery compartment cover (8), press the locking
mechanism (9) and lift open the battery compartment cover. Insert the bat-
teries.
When inserting the batteries, ensure that the polarity is correct according to
the illustration on the inside of the battery compartment.
Always replace all the batteries at the same time. Only use batteries from the
same manufacturer and which have the same capacity.
Take the batteries out of the measuring tool when you are not using it
u
for a prolonged period of time. The batteries can corrode and self-dis-
charge during prolonged storage in the measuring tool.
Operation
Protect the measuring tool from moisture and direct sunlight.
u
Do not expose the measuring tool to any extreme temperatures or
u
variations in temperature. In case of large variations in temperature,
leave the measuring tool to adjust to the ambient temperature be-
fore switching it on. The precision of the measuring tool may be com-
promised if exposed to extreme temperatures or fluctuations in temper-
ature.
Avoid hard knocks to the measuring tool or dropping it. After severe
u
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.
Certain ambient conditions fundamentally impair the measuring res-
u
ults. These include, e.g. the proximity of devices that generate
strong electric, magnetic or electromagnetic fields, moisture, metal
building materials, foil-laminated insulation materials or conductive
wallpaper or tiles. Therefore, also refer to other information sources
(e.g. construction plans) before drilling, sawing or routing into walls, ceil-
ings or floors.
