Battery Charging

Do not use a different battery charger. The bat-
tery charger provided is matched to the lithium ion
battery installed in your measuring tool.
Observe the mains voltage! The voltage of the
power source must correspond with the data on
the type plate of the battery charger.
Note: The battery is supplied partially charged. To en-
sure full capacity of the battery, completely charge the
battery in the battery charger before using your power
tool for the first time.
The Lithium-Ion battery can be charged at any time
without reducing its service life. Interrupting the
charging procedure does not damage the battery.
When the bottom segment of the battery charge-con-
trol indicator g flashes, only a few more measure-
ments can be carried out. Charge the battery.
The charge procedure begins as soon as the mains
plug of the battery charger is plugged into the socket
outlet and the charge connector 21 is plugged into
socket 14.
The battery charge-control indicator g indicates the
charging progress. During the charging procedure,
the segments flash one after the other. When all seg-
ments of battery charge-control indicator g are dis-
played, the battery is completely charged.
Disconnect the battery charger from the mains supply
when not using it for longer periods.
The measuring tool cannot be used during the charg-
ing procedure.
Protect the battery charger against moisture!
Recommendations for Optimal Handling of the
Battery
Store the battery only when within the allowable tem-
perature range, see "Technical Data". As an example,
do not leave the battery in a vehicle in summer.
A significantly reduced working period after charging
indicates that the battery is used and must be re-
placed.
Observe the notes for disposal.

Operation

Initial Operation

Do not leave the switched on measuring tool
unattended and switch the measuring tool off
after use. Other persons could be blinded by the
laser beam.
Protect the measuring tool against moisture
and direct sun light.
Do not subject the measuring tool to extreme
temperatures or variations in temperature. As
an example, do not leave it in vehicles for long time.
In case of large variations in temperature, allow the
measuring tool to adjust to the ambient tempera-
ture before putting it into operation. In case of ex-
treme temperatures or variations in temperature,
the accuracy of the measuring tool can be impaired.
Avoid heavy impact to or falling down of the
measuring tool. After severe exterior effects to
the measuring tool, it is recommended to carry out
an accuracy check (see "Accuracy Check and Cal-
ibration of the Grade Measurement" and "Accuracy
Check of the Distance Measurement" on page 25)
each time before continuing to work).
Switching On and Off
For switching on the measuring tool, the following
possibilities are given:
– Pressing the On/Off button 8: The measuring tool
is switched on and is in length measurement mode.
The laser is not activated.
– Pressing the measuring button 2: Measuring tool
and laser are switched on. The measuring tool is in
length measurement mode.
Do not point the laser beam at persons or an-
imals and do not look into the laser beam
yourself, not even from a large distance.
To switch off the measuring tool, press the On/Off
button 8 for a few seconds.
When no button on the measuring tool is pressed for
approx. 5 minutes, the measuring tool automatically
switches off to save the batteries.
When the angle is not changed for approx. 5 minutes
when in the "Grade measurement" operating mode,
the measuring tool automatically switches off to save
the batteries.
When switching off automatically, all stored values are
retained.

Measuring Procedure

After switching on by pressing the measuring button
2, the measuring tool is always in length measurement
