The serial number (18) on the type plate is used to clearly identify your measuring tool. Please observe the article number on the type plate of your battery charger. The trade names of individual battery chargers may vary. Initial start-up Charging the battery u Use only the chargers listed in the technical data. Only these chargers are matched to the lithium-ion battery of your measuring tool. u The use of chargers from other manufacturers can lead to defects on the measuring tool; a higher voltage (e.g. 12 V) from a vehicle charger is not suitable for charging this measuring tool. The warranty is rendered void if these instructions are not followed. u Pay attention to the mains voltage. The voltage of the power source must match the voltage specified on the rating plate of the charger. Note: The battery is supplied partially charged. To ensure full capacity of the battery, completely charge the battery before the first use. The lithium-ion battery can be charged at any time without reducing its service life. Interrupting the charging process does not damage the battery. If the lower segment of the battery charge indicator (g) flashes, only a few more measurements can be made. Charge the battery. If the frame around the segments of the battery charge indic- ator (g) flashes, no more measurements are possible. The measuring tool can only be used for a short time (e.g. to check entries in the measured value list). Charge the bat- tery. Connect the measuring tool to the charger (23) using the mi- cro USB cable (22) provided. Plug the charger (23) into the socket. The charging process will begin. The battery charge indicator (g) indicates the charging pro- gress. The segments flash successively during charging. When all segments of the battery charge indicator (g) are displayed, the battery is fully charged. If you are not planning to use the power tool again soon, dis- connect the charger from the mains. The battery can also be charged at a USB port. To do so, con- nect the measuring tool to a USB port using the micro USB cable. In USB mode (charging mode, data transfer), the charging time can be noticeably longer. Bosch Power Tools 1 609 92A 55A | (05.08.2019)22 | English The measuring tool cannot be used during the charging pro- cedure. u Protect the charger against moisture. Recommendations for optimal handling of the battery in the measuring tool Only charge the measuring tool in the permissible temperat- ure range, (see "Technical data", page20). As an example, do not leave the measuring tool in a vehicle during the sum- mer. A significantly reduced operating time after charging indic- ates that the battery has deteriorated and must be replaced by the Bosch after-sales service. Follow the instructions on correct disposal. Operation Start-Up u Protect the measuring tool from moisture and direct sunlight. u Do not expose the measuring tool to any extreme tem- peratures 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 measur- ing tool to adjust to the ambient temperature before put- ting it into operation. The precision of the measuring tool may be compromised if exposed to extreme temperat- ures or variations in temperature. u 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 fig- ureH)", page26) and (see "Accuracy check of the dis- tance measurement", page26). Switching on/off u 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. The following options are available for switching on the measuring tool: – Pressing the on/off button (8): The measuring tool is switched on in the length measurement function. The laser is not switched on. – Pressing the measuring button (2): Measuring tool and laser are switched on. The measuring tool will be in the length measurement function. When the measuring tool is inserted in the measuring rail (25), the grade measure- ment function is activated. u Do not direct the laser beam at persons or animals and do not stare into the laser beam yourself (even from a distance). To switch off the measuring tool, press and hold the on/off button (8). If no button on the measuring tool is pressed for approx. five minutes, then the measuring tool will automatically switch it- self off to preserve battery life. If the angle has not been changed for approx. five minutes while the measuring tool is in the "grade measurement" oper- ating mode, the tool will automatically switch itself off to pre- serve battery life. All saved values are retained when the tool is automatically switched off. Measuring process After the measuring tool has been switched on by pressing the measuring button (2), the tool is always in the length measurement function by default, or in the grade measure- ment function if the tool has been inserted into the measur- ing rail (25). Other measuring functions can be switched to by pressing the respective function button (see "Measuring functions", page23). Once the measuring tool has been switched on, the rear edge of the measuring tool is selected as the reference level for measurement. You can change the reference level by pressing the reference level selection button(10) (see "Se- lecting the reference level (see figureA)", page22). Apply the measuring tool with the selected reference level to the point at which you want to start the measurement (e.g. wall). To switch on the laser beam, briefly press the measuring but- ton (2). u Do not direct the laser beam at persons or animals and do not stare into the laser beam yourself (even from a distance). Aim the laser beam at the target surface. To initiate the measurement, briefly press the measuring button (2) again. While the laser beam is continuously switched on, measure- ment will begin after the first press of the measuring button (2). In the continuous measurement function, measurement begins as soon as the function is activated. The measured value typically appears within 0.5 seconds and no later than 4 seconds. The duration of the measure- ment depends on the distance, the lighting conditions and the reflective properties of the target surface. The end of the measurement is indicated by an audio signal. Upon comple- tion of the measurement, the laser beam is automatically switched off. If no measurement has been performed within approx. 20seconds of aim being taken, the laser beam is switched off automatically to preserve battery life. Selecting the reference level (see figureA) You can choose between four different reference levels for the measurement: – The rear edge of the measuring tool or the front edge of the measuring pin (9) when it has been folded out by 90° (e.g. when applying the tool to outer corners) – The tip of the measuring pin (9) when it has been folded 180° (e.g. when measuring from a corner) 1 609 92A 55A | (05.08.2019) Bosch Power ToolsEnglish | 23 – The front edge of the measuring tool (e.g. when measur- ing from a table edge) – The centre of the thread (19) (e.g. for tripod measure- ments) To select the reference level, press the button (10) until the required reference level is shown on the display. The rear edge of the measuring tool is pre-set as the reference level every time the measuring tool is switched on. It is not possible to make a retrospective alteration to the ref- erence level for measurements that have already been taken (e.g. when displaying measured values in the measured value list). Basic settings menu To enter the basic settings menu, press and hold the button for basic settings (4). Briefly press the basic settings button (4) to select the indi- vidual menu items. Press the minus button (5) or the plus button (11) to select the setting within the menu items. To exit the basic settings menu, press the measuring button (2). Basic settings Audio signals On Off Display illumination On Off Automatically on/off Digital spirit level On Off Display rotation On Off Continuous laser beam On Off Unit of distance (depending on country version) m, ft, inch, etc. Unit for angle (depending on country version) °, %, mm/m, inch/ft All basic settings except for the continuous laser beam set- ting are saved when switching off the tool. Continuous laser beam u Do not direct the laser beam at persons or animals and do not stare into the laser beam yourself (even from a distance). In this setting, the laser beam remains switched on even between measurements; measurement simply requires one brief press of the measuring button (2). Measuring functions Simple length measurement For length measurements, repeatedly press the button (12) until the indicator for length measurement appears on the display. Briefly press the measuring button (2) once to switch on the laser and once to measure. The measured value is displayed in the result line (c). For multiple consecutive length measurements, the results of the last measurements are shown in the measured value lines (a). Area measurement For area measurements, repeatedly press the button (12) until the indicator for area measurement appears on the display. 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. Once the second measurement has been com- pleted, the area is automatically calculated and displayed in the result line (c). The individual measured values can be found in the measured value lines (a). Volume measurement For volume measurements, repeatedly press the button (12) until the indicator for volume measurement ap- pears on the display. 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. Once the third measurement has been com- pleted, the volume is automatically calculated and displayed in the result line (c). The indi- vidual measured values can be found in the measured value lines (a). Values over 999,999m

cannot be displayed; "ERROR" will instead appear on the display. Divide the volume to be meas- ured into individual measurements, the resulting values of which you can calculate separately and then combine into an overall total. Continuous measurement and minimum/maximum measurement (see figureB) In continuous measurement mode, the measuring tool can be moved relative to the target, during which the measured value will be updated every half a second. You can, for ex- Bosch Power Tools 1 609 92A 55A | (05.08.2019)24 | English ample, move a desired distance away from a wall while read- ing off the current distance at all times. For continuous measurements, repeatedly press the button for changing function (4) until the indicator for continuous measurement appears on the display. To start the continu- ous measurement, press the measuring button (2). The minimum measurement is used to determine the shortest distance from a fixed reference point. For example, it can help in determining verticals or horizontals. The maximum measurement is used to determine the greatest distance from a fixed reference point. For example, it can help in determining diagonals. The current measured value is shown in the result line (c). The maximum ("max") and min- imum ("min") measured value appear in the measured value lines (a). It is then always overwritten if the current length measurement value is smaller or larger than the previous minimum or max- imum value. Press the memory deletion button (8) to erase the previous minimum or maximum values. Press the measuring button (2) to end the continuous meas- urement. The last measured value is displayed in the result line (c). Pressing the measuring button (2) again starts a new continuous measurement. Continuous measurement automatically switches off after fiveminutes. The last measured value remains displayed in the result line (c). Indirect distance measurement The indirect distance measurement is used to determine dis- tances 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 pro- cedure can only be employed vertically. Any horizontal devi- ation will lead to measurement errors. The laser beam remains switched on between the individual measurements. For indirect length measurements, three measuring modes are available. Each measuring mode can be used for determ- ining different distances. a) Indirect height measurement (see figureC) Repeatedly press the button for changing function (4) until the indicator for indirect height measurement

appears on the display. 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. Once the measurement is complete, the result for the required distance "X" is displayed in the result line (c). The measured values for dis- tance "1" and angle "α" can be found in the measured value lines (a). b) Double indirect height measurement (see figureD) Repeatedly press the button for changing function (4) until the indicator for double indirect height measurement

ap- pears on the display. Measure distances 1 and 2 in succession as for a length measurement. Once the measurement is complete, the result for the required distance X is displayed in the result row (c). The measured values for dis- tances 1 and 2 and angle α can be found in the measured value rows (a). 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 figureE) Repeatedly press the button for changing function (4) until the indicator for indirect length measurement

appears on the display. 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 a length measurement. Once the measurement is complete, the result for the required distance "X" is displayed in the result line (c). The measured values for dis- tance "1" and angle "α" can be found in the measured value lines (a). Wall area measurement (see figureF) 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 A but different lengths B is to be determined. For wall area measurements, repeatedly press the button for changing function (4) until the indicator for wall area meas- urement appears on the display. Measure the ceiling height A as with a length measurement. The measured value ("cst") is displayed in the top measured value line (a). The laser remains switched on. Then measure the length B

of the first wall. The area is automatically calculated and dis- played in the result line (c). The last measured value for length can be found in the middle measured value line.(a). The laser remains switched on. Now measure the length B

of the second wall. The individual measured value displayed in the middle measured value line (a) is added to the length B

. The sum of the two lengths ("sum", displayed in the bottom measured value line (a)) is multiplied by the saved height A. The total area value is displayed in the result line (c). You can measure any number of lengths B

, which will be automatically added and multiplied by the height A. 1 609 92A 55A | (05.08.2019) Bosch Power ToolsEnglish | 25 The requirement for a correct area calculation is that the first measured length (for example the ceiling height A) is identical for all sub-areas. Grade measurement (see figureG) Press the button for grade measurement (3) to bring up the indicator for grade measurement on the display. The rear of the measuring tool serves as the reference level. Press the button for grade measurement (3) again to use the sides of the measuring tool as a reference level and rotate the display view by 90°. Press the measuring button (2) to fix the measured value and transfer it to the measured value memory. Press the measuring button (2) again to continue the measurement. If the display flashes during measurement, the measuring tool has been tipped too heavily to the side. If the "digital spirit level" function is activated in the basic settings, the grade value is also displayed in the other meas- uring functions in line (d) of the display (1). Timer function The timer function is useful when the measuring tool should be kept stationary during measurement, for example. Press and hold the button for the timer function (6) to bring up the indicator on the display. The time period between triggering the timer and starting measurement is displayed in the measured value line (a). The time period can be set between 1–60 seconds by press- ing the plus button (11) or minus button (5). The measurement is made automatically after the set time period has expired. The timer function can also be used for dis- tance measurements within other measuring functions (e.g. area measurement). It is not possible to add or subtract measuring results or carry out continuous meas- urement. List of the last measured values The measuring tool stores the last 20 measured values and their calculations and displays them in reverse order (with the most recent measured value displayed first). To retrieve the saved measurements, press the button (7). The result of the last measurement appears on the display, along with the indic- ator for the measured values list (e) and with storage space for the numbering of the dis- played measurements. If no further measurements are saved upon pressing the but- ton (7) again, the measuring tool switches back to the last measuring function. Press one of the buttons for the measur- ing functions to exit the list of measured values. To permanently save the currently displayed measured length value as a constant, press and hold the button for the list of measured values (7) until "CST" is shown on the dis- play. An entry in the list of measured values cannot be retro- spectively saved as a constant. To use a measured length value in a measuring function (e.g. area measurement), press the button for the list of meas- ured values (7), select the desired entry and confirm it by pressing the results button (6). Deleting measured values Briefly pressing the button (8) will delete the last measured value in all measuring functions. Repeatedly pressing the button briefly will delete the individual measured values in reverse order. To delete the currently displayed entry in the list of meas- ured values, briefly press the button (8). To delete the com- plete list of measured values and the constant "CST", press and hold the measured value list button (7) and at the same time briefly press the button (8). In the wall area measurement function, a brief first press of the button (8) will delete the last individual measured value; a second press will delete all lengths B

; a third will delete the ceiling height A. Adding measured values To add measured values together, first perform any meas- urement or select an entry from the list of measured values. Next, press the plus button (11). "+" will appear on the dis- play as confirmation. Then perform a second measurement or select another entry from the measured value list. Press the results button (6) to retrieve the sum of both measurements. The calculation is shown in the measured value lines (a) and the sum is displayed in the result line (c). When the sum has been calculated, you can add more meas- ured values or measured value list entries to this result if you press the plus button (11) before each measurement. Press the results button (6) to end the addition. Information on addition: – Mixtures of length, area and volume values cannot be ad- ded together. For example, if a length value and an area value are added together, "ERROR" will appear briefly on the display when the results button (6) is pressed. The measuring tool will then switch back to the most recently active measuring function. – The result of a measurement (e.g. volume value) is always added; for continuous measurements, the measured value displayed in the result line (c) is added. It is not possible to add individual measured values from the measured value lines (a). Subtracting measured values To subtract measured values, press the minus button (5); "-" will appear on the display as confirmation. The subsequent steps are the same as for the "Adding measured values" sec- tion. Practical advice General advice The reception lens (17) and the laser beam output (16) must not be covered during the measuring process. The measuring tool must not be moved during a measure- ment (with the exception of the continuous measurement Bosch Power Tools 1 609 92A 55A | (05.08.2019)26 | English and grade measurement functions). For this reason, place the measuring tool against or on a firm surface whenever possible. Influences on the measuring range The measuring range depends on the lighting conditions and the reflective properties of the target surface. For better vis- ibility of the laser beam when working outdoors and in bright sunlight, use the laser viewing glasses (28) (accessory) and the laser target plate (29) (accessory) or shade the target area. Influences on the measurement result Due to physical effects, the possibility of inaccurate meas- urements when measuring various surfaces cannot be ex- cluded. 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 (29) (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 re- ceived reflections can also influence the measured value. Checking accuracy and calibrating the grade measurement (see figureH) 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 case of greater deviation, the measuring tool must be re- calibrated. To do this, press and hold the grade measure- ment button (3). Follow the directions on the display. Accuracy check of the distance measurement You can check the accuracy of the measuring tool as follows: – Choose a measuring section of approx. 1–10 m in length that is permanently unchanged, the exact length of which is known to you (e.g. room width, door opening). The measuring section must be indoors, and the target sur- face of the measurement must be smooth and reflect well. – Measure the section ten times in succession. The deviation between the individual measurements and the mean value must not exceed ± 2mm. Record the measure- ments in order to be able to compare the accuracy later on. Working with the tripod (accessory) The use of a tripod is particularly necessary for larger dis- tances. Place the measuring tool with the 1/4" thread (19) on the quick-release plate of the tripod (27) or a conven- tional camera tripod. Tighten it using the locking screw of the quick-release plate. Set the reference level for measurements with a tripod by pressing the button (10) accordingly (thread reference level). Working with the measuring rail (see figuresI–K) The measuring rail (25) can be used for a more exact grade measurement result. Distance measurements are not pos- sible with the measuring rail. Insert the measuring tool into the measuring rail (25) as shown and lock the measuring tool in place with the locking lever (26). Press the measuring button (2) to activate the "measur- ing rail" operating mode. Regularly check the accuracy of the grade measurement by means of a reverse measurement or the levels on the meas- uring rail. In case of greater deviation, the measuring tool must be re- calibrated. To do this, press and hold the grade measure- ment button (3). Follow the directions on the display. To end the "measuring rail" operating mode, switch off the measuring tool and remove it from the measuring rail. Errors – Causes and Corrective Measures Cause Corrective measures Temperature warning(j) flashes, measurement not pos- sible. The measuring tool is outside the operating temperature of –10 °C to +50 °C (in the con- tinuous measurement func- tion, up to +40 °C). Wait until the measuring tool has reached operating tem- perature. Display shows "ERROR" Addition/subtraction of measured values with differ- ent units of measurement. Only add/subtract measured values with the same units of measurement. Angle between laser beam and target is too acute. Increase the angle between the laser beam and the target Target surface is too reflect- ive (e.g. mirror) or not re- flective enough (e.g. black material), or ambient light is too bright. Use the laser target plate (29). The laser beam output (16) and/or reception lens (17) are fogged up (e.g. due to a rapid temperature change). Wipe the laser beam output (16) and/or reception lens (17) dry with a soft cloth. Calculated value is larger than 999,999m/m
