INSERTING/REPLACING THE BATTERY
Use only alkali-manganese or rechargeable
batteries.
Fewer measurements are possible when using
1.2 V rechargeable batteries as compared with
1.5 V batteries.
To open the battery lid 17, press the latch of
the battery lid 16 in the direction of the arrow
and remove the battery lid. Insert the supplied
batteries. When inserting, pay attention to the
correct polarity according to the representation
on the inside of the battery compartment.
When the battery symbol appears in the
display for the first time, then at least 100
measurements are still possible. The batteries
must be replaced when the battery symbol
flashes; taking measurements is no longer
possible.
Always replace all batteries at the same time.
Only use batteries from one brand and with the
identical capacity.
• Remove the batteries from the rangefinder
when not using it for extended periods.
When storing for extended periods, the
batteries can corrode and discharge
themselves.
INSTALLING HAND STRAP
Feed string loop on end of hand strap 25
under hand strap mounting post 26 and pull
out on other side. Feed hand strap 25 through
string loop end and pull tight.
Preparation
(e.g. when measuring outdoors at intense
sunlight), it may be necessary to use the target
plate.
B) +0.1 mm/m (+1/32 in per 26 ft) in case of
unfavorable conditions, e.g. intense sun
irradiation.
Please observe the article number on the type
plate of your rangefinder. The trade names of
the individual rangefinders may vary.
The rangefinder can be clearly identified with
the serial number
18 on the type plate.
Operation
INITIAL OPERATION
• Protect the rangefinder against moisture and
direct sun irradiation.
• Do not expose the rangefinder to extreme
temperatures or variations in temperature.
Switching On and Off
To switch on the rangefinder, either press the
On/Off button 13 or the measuring button 9.
When switching on the rangefinder, the laser
beam is not switched on yet.
To switch off the rangefinder, press the
On/Off button 13.
To save the batteries, the rangefinder switches
off automatically after approx. 5 minutes when
no measurement is carried out.
When a measured value has been stored, it is
retained in automatic switch-off mode. When
switching on the rangefinder again,
“M” is
indicated in the display.
Measuring Procedure
The rangefinder offers a variety of different
measuring modes that can be selected by
pushing the corresponding mode button (see
“Measuring Mode”). After switching on, the
rangefinder is in the “length measurement
mode”.
Also, it is possible to select any of the four
different reference points for the measurement
by pushing the reference point button
10 (see
“Selecting the Reference Point”). After
switching on, the rear edge of the rangefinder
is preset as the reference point.
Upon selection of the measuring mode and the
reference point, all further steps are carried out
by pushing the measuring button
9.
With the reference point selected, place the
rangefinder against the desired measuring line
(e.g. a wall).
Push the measuring button 9 to switch on 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.
