Inserting/Replacing the Battery

Alkali-manganese batteries are recommended for the measuring tool.
To open the battery lid 3, slide it in the direction of the arrow away from the
battery compartment. Insert the battery provided. When inserting, pay attention
to the correct polarity according to the representation on the inside of the
battery compartment.
The battery indicator e always indicates the current battery status:
– Battery fully charged
– Battery has 2/3 of its capacity or less
– Battery has 1/3 of its capacity or less
– Please change battery
 If the measuring tool is not used for a long period of time, the battery
must be removed. The battery can corrode or discharge itself over long
periods.
Operation
 Protect the measuring tool against moisture and direct sun light.
 Do not subject the measuring tool to extreme temperatures or variations
in temperature. In case of large variations in temperature, allow the
measuring tool to adjust to the ambient temperature before switching it
on. In case of extreme temperatures or variations in temperature, the accura-
cy of the measuring tool and the display indication can be impaired.
 Use or operation of transmitting systems, such as WLAN, UMTS, radar,
transmitter masts or microwaves, in the close proximity can influence
the measuring function.

Initial Operation

Switching On and Off
 Before switching the measuring tool on, make sure that the sensor area
11 is not moist. If required, dry the measuring tool using a soft cloth.
 If the measuring tool was subject to an extreme temperature change,
allow it to adjust to the ambient temperature before switching on.
To switch on the measuring tool, press the On/Off button 5.
To switch off the measuring tool, press the On/Off button 5 again.
When no button on the measuring tool is pressed for approx. 5 minutes and
when no objects are detected, the measuring tool automatically switches off to
save the battery.
Switching the Display Illumination On/Off
The display illumination can be switched on/off with display-illumination
button 2.
Switching the Audio Signal On/Off
The audio signal can be switched on/off with the audio signal button 4. When the
audio signal is switched off, indication l appears on the display.
Method of Operation (see figure A)
The measuring tool checks the base material of sensor area 11 in measurement
direction z to the max. detection depth (see "Technical Data"). Objects are de-
tected that differ from the material of the wall.
Always move the measuring tool in a straight line over the surface applying slight
pressure, without lifting it off or changing the pressure. During measurement,
the contact pads 10 must always have contact to the surface.
