dicator will not display a full charge.
The measuring tool can be clearly identified with the serial number 2 on
the type plate.
Assembly

Inserting/Replacing the Batteries

Using alkali-manganese or rechargeable batteries is recom-
mended for operation of the measuring tool.
To open the battery lid 3, press on the latch 4 and fold the bat-
tery lid up. Insert the batteries. When inserting, pay attention
to the correct polarity according to the representation on the
inside of the battery lid.
Battery Indicator
The rechargeable battery/battery indicator f always displays
the current battery status:
The battery is over 90 % charged
The battery is between 60 % and 90 % charged
The battery is between 30 % and 60 % charged
The battery is between 10 % and 30 % charged
The empty battery indicator flashes. The battery
charge status is under 10 %. You can measure for ap-
proximately another 15–20 minutes from when the
flashing begins until the tool shuts down.
Always replace all batteries/rechargeable batteries at the
same time. Do not use different brands or types of batteries/
rechargeable batteries together.
 Remove the batteries/rechargeable batteries from the
measuring tool when not using it for longer periods.
When storing for longer periods, the batteries/rechargeable
batteries can corrode and self-discharge.
Operation

Initial Operation

 Protect the measuring tool against moisture and direct
sun light.
 Do not subject the measuring tool to extreme tempera-
tures or variations in temperature. As an example, do not
leave it in vehicles for a long time. In case of large variations
in temperature, allow the measuring tool to adjust to the
ambient temperature before putting it into operation. In
case of extreme temperatures or variations in temperature,
the accuracy of the measuring tool can be impaired.
 The contact surfaces and contact edges of the measur-
ing tool must be clean. Protect the measuring tool
against impact and shock. Debris particles or deforma-
tions can lead to faulty measurements.
 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 14) 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
automatically converted.
The unit-of-measure setting is retained when switching the
measuring tool on or off.
