Assembly

Inserting/changing the batteries

Using alkali-manganese or nickel-metal hydride rechargeable batteries (especially at low operating temperatures) is recommended for the operation of the measuring tool. With 1.2 V batteries, more measurements may be possible than with 1.5 V batteries, depending on the capacity.
Press the locking mechanism (12) to open the battery compartment cover (13) and remove the battery compartment cover. Insert the batteries. When inserting, pay attention to the correct polarity according to the representation on the inside of the battery compartment. When the state of charge of the batteries or reusable batteries is low, a request to activate the battery saver mode will appear on the display.
When the battery saver mode is activated, the battery runtime will be extended and the battery symbol on the display will have a yellow outline(see “Settings” menu (see figure C)”, page 44). When the empty battery symbol first appears on the display, only a limited number of measurements is still possible. When the battery symbol is empty and flashes red, no further measurements are possible. Replace the batteries or reusable batteries. Always replace all the batteries at the same time. Only use batteries from the same manufacturer and which have the same capacity.

• Take the batteries out of the measuring tool when you are not using it for a prolonged period of time.
  The batteries can corrode and self-discharge during prolonged storage.

Inserting/changing the lithium-ion battery pack (accessory)
Insert the lithium-ion battery pack (24) (see figure A). To remove the lithium-ion battery pack (24), press the locking mechanism (25) and take the lithium-ion battery pack out.

Operation

Note: The battery is supplied partially charged. To ensure the full capacity of the battery, completely charge the battery before the first use.
The USB port for connecting the USB cable (26) and the charging indicator light can be found under the flap for the USB port (27) on the lithium-ion battery pack (24) (accessory). Open the flap for the USB port (27) and connect the USB cable (26). During the charging process, the battery indicator on the display may differ from the actual state of charge of the lithium-ion battery pack (24). When the lithium-ion battery pack (24) is fully charged, the charging indicator light will light up green. During charging, the charging indicator light lights up yellow. The red charging indicator light indicates that the charging voltage or charging current is unsuitable.

Start-Up

• Never leave the measuring tool unattended when switched on, and ensure the measuring tool is switched off after use. Others may be dazzled by the laser beam.
• Protect the measuring tool from moisture and direct sunlight.
• Do not expose the measuring tool to any extreme temperatures or variations in temperature. For example, do not leave it in a car for extended periods of time. In case of large variations in temperature, allow the measuring tool to adjust to the ambient temperature before putting it into operation. The precision of the measuring tool may be compromised if exposed to extreme temperatures or variations in temperature.
• Avoid substantial knocks to the measuring tool and avoid dropping it. Always carry out an accuracy check before continuing work if the measuring tool has been subjected to severe external influences (see “Checking accuracy and calibrating the grade measurement (see figure M)”, page 51) and (see “checking accuracy of the distance measurement”, page 51).
• The measuring tool is equipped with a wireless interface. Local operating restrictions, e.g. in airplanes or hospitals, must be observed.

Note: If the measuring tool has been switched on using the on/off/back button (8) [ ], briefly press the measuring button (5) [ ] to switch the laser on. To initiate the measurement, briefly press the measuring button (5) [ ]. The laser beam will then switch off. For further measurement, repeat this process.
Do not direct the laser beam at persons or animals and do not stare into the laser beam yourself (even from a distance).
Note: The measured value typically appears within half a second, and no later than approximately four seconds. The duration of the measurement depends on the distance, the lighting conditions, and the reflective properties of the target surface. Upon completion of the measurement, the laser beam will automatically switch off.
Selecting the reference level (see figure B)
You can choose between three different reference levels for the measurement: ­
The rear edge of the measuring tool (e.g. when placed against walls) ­
The front edge of the measuring tool (e.g. when measuring from a table edge) ­
The center of the thread (14) (e.g. for tripod measurements)
To select the reference level, press the (7) [ ] button.
Then select the “Reference level” setting with the measuring button (5) [ ] or the (2) [Func] button. Then use the (6) [+] button or the (3) [-­] button to select the required reference level. Every time the measuring tool is switched on, the last selected reference level is preset.

To measure, briefly press the measuring button (5) [ ]. The measured value will be shown at the bottom of the display
Repeat the above steps for each subsequent measurement. The last measured value is at the bottom of the display, the penultimate measured value is above it, and so on.

Continuous measurement
In continuous measurement mode, the measuring tool can be moved relative to the target, during which the measured value will be updated approx. every half a second. You can, for example, move the desired distance away from a wall while reading off the current distance at all times. Select continuous measurement. Select one of the following functions:

­ Min/max: The smallest and largest measured value are permanently shown on the display (see figure J).
Large numbers: The measured value is displayed in an enlarged format for better legibility (see figure K).
­ Tape measure: The distance will be displayed visually, as with a tape measure (see figure L). Note: The distance from the marking is shown in the display in the tape measure function. The reference is not the edge of the measuring tool.
To switch on the laser beam, briefly press the measuring button (5) [ ].
Move the measuring tool until the required distance is shown at the bottom of the display.
Briefly pressing the measuring button (5) [ ] will interrupt the continuous measurement.
The current measured value will be shown at -64° at the bottom of the display. Pressing the measuring button (5) [ ] once more will start the continuous measurement again.
Continuous measurement automatically switches off after four minutes.

Area measurement
Select the area measurement mode.
Then measure the width and length one after the other as with a length measurement.
The laser beam remains switched on between the two measurements. The distance to be measured flashes in the indicator for area measurement .
The first measured value is shown at the top of the display.

After the second measurement has been completed, the area will be automatically calculated and displayed. The end result is shown at the bottom of the display, while the individual measured values are 19.355 m2 shown above it.
Volume measurement
Select the volume measurement mode.
Then measure the width, length, and depth one after the other as with a length measurement. The laser beam remains switched on between the three measurements. The distance to be measured flashes in the indicator for volume measurement.
The first measured value is shown at the top of the display. After the third measurement has been completed, the volume will be automatically calculated and displayed. The end result is shown at the bottom of the display, while the individual measured values are shown above it.

Indirect distance measurement

For indirect length measurements, three measuring modes are available. Each measuring function can be used for determining different distances. The indirect distance measurement is used to determine distances that cannot be measured directly, due to an obstacle that would impede the path beam or the absence of a target surface that could serve as a reflector. This measuring procedure can only be employed vertically. Any horizontal deviation will lead to measurement errors.
Note: Indirect distance measurement is always less accurate than direct distance measurement. For application-related reasons, measuring errors can be greater than with direct distance measurement. To improve the accuracy of measurement, we recommend the use of a tripod (accessory). The laser beam remains switched on between the individual measurements.
a) Indirect height measurement (see figure E)
Select the indirect height measurement mode.
Ensure that the measuring tool is at the same height as the lower measuring point. Then tilt the measuring tool around the reference level and measure distance 1 as for a length
measurement (displayed as a red line).
Once the measurement is complete, the result for the required distance X is displayed in the result line (e). The measured values for distance 1 and angle can be found in the measured value rows (d).
b) Double indirect height measurement (see figure F)
The measuring tool can indirectly measure all distances that lie in the vertical level of the measuring tool.
Select the double indirect height measurement mode.
Measure distances 1 and 2 in succession as for length measurement.

Once the measurement is complete, the result for the required distance X is displayed in the result row (e). The measured values for distances 1 and 2 and angle can be found in the measured value rows (d).
Ensure that the reference level for the measurement (e.g. the rear edge of the measuring tool) remains in exactly the same place for all the individual measurements in a single measuring process.
c) Indirect length measurement (see figure G)
Select the indirect length measurement mode.
Ensure that the measuring tool is at the same height as the required measuring point. Then tilt the measuring tool around the reference level and measure distance 1 as for length measurement.
Once the measurement is complete, the result for the required distance X is displayed in the result row (e). The measured values for distance 1 and angle can be found in the measured value row (d).

Wall area measurement (see figure H)
The wall area measurement is used to determine the sum of multiple individual areas with a common height. In the illustrated example, the total area of several walls that have the same ceiling height H but different lengths L is to be determined. Select the wall area measurement mode .
Measure the ceiling height H as for length measurement. The measured value is displayed in the top measured-value line. The laser remains switched on.

Then measure the length L1 of the first wall. The area is automatically calculated and displayed in the result line (e). The last measured value for length can be found in the bottom measured value line (d). The laser remains switched on.
Now measure the length L2 of the second wall. The individual measured value displayed in the measured value line (d) is added to the length L1. The sum of the two lengths (displayed in the middle measured value line (d)) is multiplied by the saved height H. The total area value is displayed in the result line (e).
You can measure any number of lengths Lx, which will be automatically added and multiplied by the height H. The requirement for a correct area calculation is that the first measured length (for example the ceiling height H) is identical for all sub-areas.
Stake-out function (see figure I)
The stake-out function repeatedly measures a defined length (distance). These lengths can be transferred to a surface, for example, to enable the material to be cut into pieces of equal lengths or to install stud walls in drywall construction. The minimum adjustable length is 0.1 m and the maximum length is 50 m.
Note: The distance from the marking is shown in the display in the stake-out function. The reference is not the edge of the measuring tool.
Select the stake-out function.
Use the button (6) [+] or the button (3) [-­] to set the required length.
Begin the stake-out function by pressing the measuring button (5) [ ] and slowly move away from the starting point.

The measuring tool continuously measures the distance to the starting point. The defined length and the current measured value are thereby displayed. The lower or upper arrow displays the shortest distance to the next or last marking.

The left factor specifies how many times the defined length has already been reached. A green measured value indicates that a length has been reached for marking purposes. A blue measured value indicates the actual value when the reference value is outside the display.
Grade measurement/digital spirit level Select the inclination measurement/digital spirit level.
The measuring tool automatically switches between two states.
The digital spirit level is used to check the horizontal or vertical alignment of an object (e.g. washing machine, refrigerator, etc.).
When the inclination exceeds 3°, the ball in the display lights up red.
Grade measurement is used to measure a slope or incline (e.g. of stairs, railings, when fitting furniture, laying pipes, etc.). The left-hand side of the measuring tool serves as the reference level for grade measurement.

Memory value display

The value or end result of each completed measurement is automatically saved.
A maximum of 30 values (measured values or end results) can be retrieved.
Select the memory function [ ].

The number of the memory value is shown at the top of the display, the corresponding memory value is shown at the bottom and the corresponding measuring function is shown on the left. Press the [+] button (6) to browse forwards through the saved values. Press the [- ­] button (3) to browse backward through the saved values.
The oldest value is located in position 1 in the memory, while the newest value is in position 30 (when 30 memory values are available). If a further value is saved, the oldest
value in the memory is always deleted.

Deleting the memory
To delete an individual memory value, select this value(see “Memory value display”, page 49). To delete, first press the on/off/back button (8) [ ] and confirm this by pressing the (2) [Func] button.
To delete all the contents of the memory, press the (7) [ ] button and select the function. Then press the (6) [+] button and confirm this by pressing the (2) [Func] button.

Adding/subtracting values

Measured values or end results can be added or subtracted.
Adding values
The following example describes the addition of areas:
Measure an area as described in the “Area measurement” section Area measurement.
Press the [+] button (6). The calculated area and the + symbol will be displayed.
Press the measuring button (5) [ ] to start another area measurement. Measure the area as described in the “Area measurement” section Area measurement. Once the second measurement is completed, the result of the second area measurement is displayed below. To show the end result, press the measuring button (5) [ ] once more.
Note: In the case of length measurement, the end result is displayed immediately.
To exit addition, press the [Func] button (2).
Subtracting values
To subtract values, press the button (3) [­]. The subsequent steps are the same as for the section on adding values.
Deleting measured values
Briefly pressing the on/off/back button (8) [ ] will delete the last measured value in all measuring functions. Repeatedly pressing the on/off/back button (8) [ ] briefly will delete the measured values in reverse order.

Practical advice

The measuring tool is equipped with a wireless interface. Local operating restrictions, e.g. in aeroplanes or hospitals, must be observed.

General advice
The reception lens (15) and the laser beam output (16) must not be covered during the measuring process.
The measuring tool must not be moved during a measurement (with the exception of the continuous measurement and grade measurement functions). For this reason, place the measuring tool against or on a firm surface whenever possible.
Influences on the measuring range
Influences on the measuring range depend on the lighting conditions and the reflective properties of the target surface. For better visibility of the laser beam in bright extraneous light, use the laser viewing glasses (20) (accessory) and the laser target plate (19) (accessory) or shade the target area.
Influences on the measurement result

Due to physical effects, the possibility of inaccurate measurements when measuring various surfaces cannot be excluded. These include ­
Transparent surfaces (e.g. glass, water) ­ Reflective surfaces (e.g. polished metal, glass) ­
Porous surfaces (e.g. insulating materials) ­ Structured surfaces (e.g. roughcast, natural stone)
If necessary, use the laser target plate (19) (accessory) on these surfaces. Inaccurate measurements are also possible where the laser is pointed at target surfaces diagonally.
Layers of air at different temperatures and indirectly received reflections can also influence the measured value.
Checking accuracy and calibrating the grade measurement (see figure M)
Regularly check the accuracy of the grade measurement. This is accomplished by means of a reverse measurement. To do this, lay the measuring tool on a table and measure the inclination. Turn the measuring tool by 180° and measure the inclination again. The difference between the displayed values must not exceed 0.3°.
In the event of larger deviations, you have to recalibrate the measuring tool. To do so, select in the settings. Follow the instructions on the display. We recommend that you perform an accuracy check and if necessary a calibration of the measuring tool after extreme temperature variations and after impact to the tool. After a temperature variation, the measuring tool must adjust to the ambient temperature for a while before calibration is performed.
Accuracy Check of the Distance Measurement
You can check the accuracy of the measuring tool as follows: ­
Choose a measuring section of approx. 3­10 m in length that is permanently un-
change, the exact length of which is known to you (e.g. room width, door opening). The measurement should be taken under favorable conditions, i.e. the measuring section should be indoors and the target surface for the measurement should be smooth and reflect well. ­ Measure the section ten times in succession. The deviation of the individual measurements from the mean value must not exceed ±4 mm over the entire measuring section in favorable conditions. Record the measurements in order to be able to compare the accuracy at a later date.
Working with the tripod (accessory) The use of a tripod is particularly necessary for larger distances. Place the measuring tool with the 1/4″ thread (14) on the quick-release plate of the tripod (21) or of a commercially available camera tripod. Tighten it using the locking screw of the quick-release plate. Set the reference level for measurements with a tripod in the settings (see “Selecting the reference level (see figure B)”, page 43).
Belt clip (accessory) (see figure N) With the belt clip (17), the measuring tool can be conveniently secured to your belt.
Error message If a measurement cannot be performed correctly, the “Error” message will appear on the display. Start the measurement again.
The measuring tool monitors correct functioning in every measurement. If a defect is detected, the display will indicate only the symbol shown opposite and the measuring tool switches itself off. In this case, have the measuring tool checked by an after-sales service agent for Bosch power tools?
