Assembly
Inserting/Replacing the Battery
Using alkali-manganese or rechargeable batteries is recom-
mended for operation of the measuring tool.
Fewer measurements are possible when using 1.2 V recharge-
able batteries as compared with 1.5 V batteries.
To open the battery lid 15, press the latch 14 in the direction
of the arrow and remove the battery lid. Insert the supplied
batteries/rechargeable batteries. When inserting, pay atten-
tion to the correct polarity according to the representation on
the inside of the battery compartment.
When the battery symbol
display, at least 100 measurements are still possible. When the
battery symbol flashes, the batteries/rechargeable batteries
must be replaced; measurements are no longer possible.
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 bat-
teries can corrode and discharge themselves.
Operation
Initial Operation
Protect the measuring tool against moisture and direct
sun irradiation.
Do not subject the measuring tool to extreme tempera-
tures or variations in temperature. As an example, do not
leave it in vehicles for longer periods. In case of large varia-
tions 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.
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 "Accura-
cy Check of the Measuring Tool", page 29) each time before
continuing to work.
