Assembly

Battery Charging

 Do not use a different battery charger. The battery
charger provided is matched to the lithium-ion battery in-
stalled 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 ensure full
battery capacity, completely charge the battery before using
for the first time.
The lithium-ion battery can be charged at any time without re-
ducing its service life. Interrupting the charging procedure
does not damage the battery.
When the bottom segment of the battery charge-control indi-
cator g flashes, only a few more measurements can be carried
out. Charge the battery.
When the frame around the segments of the battery charge-
control indicator g flashes, measurements are no longer pos-
sible. Continued use of the measuring tool is only possible for
a short period (e.g., for checking entries in the measured-val-
ue list, performing a calculation, etc.). Recharge 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 23 is plugged into socket 15.
The battery charge-control indicator g indicates the charging
progress. During the charging procedure, the segments flash
one after the other. When all segments of battery charge-con-
trol indicator g are displayed, the battery is completely
charged.
Disconnect the battery charger from the mains supply when
not using it for longer periods.
Bosch Power Tools
Additionally, the battery can also be recharged via a USB port.
For this, connect the measuring tool to a USB port using the
micro USB cable. In USB operation (recharging, data trans-
mission), the charging duration n can be significantly pro-
longed.
The measuring tool cannot be used independently during the
charging procedure. Usage is possible only in combination
with a USB connection and the available software.
The Bluetooth® function switches off during the charging pro-
cedure. Existing connections to other devices are interrupt-
ed. This can lead to data loss.
 Protect the battery charger against moisture!
Notes for Optimum Handling of the Battery in the Measur-
ing Tool
Store the measuring tool only within the allowable tempera-
ture range, see "Technical Data". As an example, do not leave
the measuring tool in a vehicle in summer.
A significantly reduced working period after charging indi-
cates that the battery is used and must be replaced.
Observe the notes for disposal.
Operation

Initial Operation

 Do not leave the switched-on measuring tool unattend-
ed 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 tempera-
tures or variations in temperature. As an example, do
not leave it in vehicles for a long time. In case of large vari-
ations 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 tempera-
ture, 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 Calibration of the Grade Measure-
ment (see figure H)" and "Accuracy Check of the Distance
Measurement" on page 28) each time before continuing to
work).
Switching On and Off
For switching on the measuring tool, the following possibili-
ties are given:
– Press the On/Off button 4: The measuring tool is switched
on and is in length measurement mode. The laser is not ac-
tivated.
– Press the measuring button 2: Measuring tool and laser are
switched on. The measuring tool is in length measurement
mode. When the measuring tool is inserted in the measur-
ing rail 27, the grade measurement function is activated.
 Do not point the laser beam at persons or animals and
do not look into the laser beam yourself, not even from
a large distance.
