Assembly
Inserting/Replacing the Battery
Use only alkali-manganese or rechargeable batteries.
To open the battery lid 6, press the latch 7 in the direction of the arrow and fold the battery lid downward. Insert the battery provided. Pay attention that the polarity is correct.

When the battery indication a in the display lights up, measuring is possible for approx. 1 h when using alkali-manganese batteries (service life is shorter with rechargeable batteries). When the battery indication a flashes, measuring is still possible for approx. 10 minutes. When the battery indication a and the illuminated ring 1 (red) are flashing, measuring is no longer possible and the battery or the rechargeable battery respectively, must be replaced.
▶ If the measuring tool is not used for a long period of time, the battery must be removed. The battery can corrode or discharge itself over long periods.
Operation
Initial Operation
▶ Protect the measuring tool against moisture and direct sun irradiation.
Switching On and Off
▶ Before switching the measuring tool on, make sure that the sensor area 5 is not moist. If required, wipe the measuring tool dry using a cloth.
▶ If the measuring tool was subject to an extreme temperature change, allow it to adjust to the ambient temperature before switching on.
To switch on the measuring tool, press the On/Off switch 4.
After a brief self-check, the measuring tool is ready for operation. The operational readiness is indicated by a check mark behind the "AutoCal" calibration indicator d.
To switch the measuring tool off, press the "on/off" button 4.
When no measurements are carried out for approx. 10 minutes, the measuring tool switches off automatically in order to extend the service life of the batteries.




Operating Modes
The measuring tool detects objects below the sensor area 5.
Detecting Metal Objects
After switching on, the illuminated ring 1 lights up green.

natural_image
Top-down diagram of a vehicle with directional arrows indicating movement or force (no text or symbols)Place the measuring tool on the surface to be scanned and move it sidewards. When the illuminated ring 1 continues to light up green and no signal tone sounds, then no metal object is detectable in the structural material below. When the measuring tool comes close to a metal object, the amplitude in the measuring indicator c increases. When the measuring tool is above a metal object, the ring 1 turns red and a signal tone sounds.
When moving over a surface the first time, the position of the metal object is indicated only approximately. When moving the measuring tool over the metal object several times, the object is detected more and more precisely. After moving over the surface above the metal object several times (without lifting off the measuring tool from the surface), the position of the metal object can be indicated accurately: When the illuminated ring 1 lights up red and the signal tone sounds, then the metal object is below the centre of the sensor (below the marking hole 2).
Scanning for "Live" Wires
The measuring tool indicates “live” wires/conductors that carry voltages between 110 V and 400 V, and a frequency corresponding with the common standard (AC with 50 to 60 Hz). Other wires/conductors (carrying DC, higher/lower frequency or voltage) as well as “dead” wires/conductors cannot be found reliably, but are possibly indicated as metal objects.
The scan for “live” wires/conductors takes place automatically for each measurement. When a “live” wire/conductor is detected, the indicator b appears in the display. Move the measuring tool over the surface repeatedly in order to localise the “live” wire. After moving the measuring tool over the surface several times, the position of the “live” wire/conductor can be indicated quite precisely. If the measuring tool is very close to the wire/conductor, then the illuminated ring 1 lights up red and the signal tone sounds with rapid tone sequence.









“Live” wires/conductors can be detected easier when power consumers (e.g., lamps, appliances) are connected to the wire/conductor being sought and switched on. Wires/conductors with 110 V, 230 V and 400 V (three-phase current) are detected with about the same scan capacity.
Under certain conditions (such as when behind metal surfaces or behind surfaces with high water content), “live” wires/conductors cannot be detected with certainty. When measuring indicator c is indicated over a larger range, then the material is screening-off electrically and the scan for “live” wires/conductors is not reliable.
Operating Instructions
On condition of the principle, the measuring values can be impaired through certain ambient conditions. These include, e.g., the proximity of other equipment that produce strong magnetic or electromagnetic fields, moisture, metallic building materials, foil-laminated insulation materials or conductive wallpaper. Therefore, please also observe other information sources (e.g. construction plans) before drilling, sawing or routing into walls, ceilings or floors.
Marking Objects
Detected objects can be marked as required. Where the amplitude of measuring indication c is at its maximum, the centre of the object is located below marking hole 2. The limits of an object are indicated by the colour change of the illuminated ring 1 from green to red. Using a pen, mark the sought after location through the marking hole 2.
"AutoCal" Calibration Indicator
When the check mark behind the “AutoCal” calibration indicator d flashes for longer periods or if it is not displayed anymore, reliable scanning is no longer possible. In this case, send in the measuring tool to an authorised Bosch after-sales service agent.

Maintenance and Service
Maintenance and Cleaning
When the measuring indicator c continuously shows an amplitude even though there is no metal object in the vicinity of the measuring tool, the measuring tool can be calibrated manually. For this, remove all objects in the vicinity of the measuring tool (including wrist watches or rings of metal) and hold the measuring tool up in the air. With the measuring tool switched off, press the On/Off button 4 until the illuminated ring 1 lights up red and green at the same time. Then release the button. When the calibration process was successful, the measuring tool will start over after a few seconds and is then ready for operation.
Wipe away debris or contamination with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use cleaning agents or solvents.
In order not to affect the measuring function, decals/stickers or name plates, especially metal ones, may not be attached in the sensor area 5 on the front or back side of the measuring tool.
If the measuring tool should fail despite the care taken in manufacturing and testing procedures, repair should be carried out by an authorized after-sales service centre for Bosch power tools.
In all correspondence and spare parts orders, please always include the 10-digit article number given on the type plate of the measuring tool.
