 Avoid heavy impact to or dropping down of the measur-
ing tool. After severe exterior effects to the measuring tool,
it is recommended to carry out an accuracy check (see
"Checking the Measuring Accuracy", page 15) each time
before continuing to work.
Switching On and Off
Press the "ON/OFF" switch 9 to switch the measuring tool on
or off.
If no button on the measuring tool is pressed for approx.
30 mins or the grade of the measuring tool is not changed by
more than 1.5 °, then grade measurement and the display are
automatically switched off to save the battery.
Changing the Unit of Measure (see figure A)
You can change between the units of measure "°", "%" and
"mm/m" at any time. For this, press the button for changing the
unit of measure 8 as often as required until the desired setting
is displayed in indicator b/c. The current measuring value is au-
tomatically converted.
The unit-of-measure setting is retained when switching the
measuring tool on or off.
Switching the Audio Signal On/Off
The audio signal can be switched on/off with the audio signal
button 7. When the audio signal is switched on, indicator g ap-
pears in the display.
When you switch on the measuring tool, the audio signal is
switched on as standard.
Measured-value Indication and Alignment Aids
For each movement of the measuring tool, the measured value
is updated. After moving the measuring tool to any extent, wait
until the measured value no longer changes before reading the
value.
Depending on the position of the measuring tool, the measured
value and the unit of measure are indicated in the display rotat-
ed by 180°. Thus, the indication can also be read for overhead
work.
The measuring tool uses alignment aids a on the display to
show in which direction it has to be tilted in order to reach the
target value. In standard measurements the target value is the
horizontal or vertical, in the "Hold/Copy" function it is the
stored measuring value.
When the target value is reached, the arrows of the alignment
aids a go out and a continuous audio signal sounds when the
audio signal is switched on.

Measuring Functions

Holding/Copying a Measured Value
Two functions can be controlled with the "Hold/Copy" button
11:
– Holding ("Hold") of a measured value, even when the meas-
uring tool is moved afterwards (e.g., because the measuring
tool is in a position in which the display cannot be read);
– Copying ("Copy") of a measured value.
"Hold" function:
– Briefly press the "Hold/Copy" button 11. The current
measuring value e is held on the display and stored, and in-
dicator "H" flashes.
– Press the "Hold/Copy" button 11 again to end the "Hold"
function. The stored value is deleted. Normal measurement
is continued.
"Copy" function:
– Long press the "Hold/Copy" button 11. The current meas-
uring value e is copied and indicator "H" is shown continu-
ously on the display.
– Briefly press the "Hold/Copy" button 11. The stored
measuring value e is shown on the display and indicator "H"
flashes.
– Place the measuring tool in the location to which the meas-
uring value is to be transferred. When doing so, the align-
ment of the measuring tool is irrelevant. The alignment aids
a show which direction the measuring tool has to be moved
in to reach the grade you want to copy. When the stored
grade is reached, an audio signal sounds and the alignment
aids a go out.
– Briefly press the "Hold/Copy" button 11 again to return to
normal measurement. Indicator "H" is shown continuously
on the display.
– Long press the "Hold/Copy" button 11 to store a new val-
ue.
