The WEEE directive regulates the return and recycling of electrical appliances. Manufacturers of electrical appliances are obliged to take back and recycle all electrical appliances free of charge. Electrical devices may then no longer be dis- posed of through conventional waste disposal channels. Electrical appliances must be recycled and disposed of separately. All equipment subject to this di- rective is marked with this logo.

Disposal of used batteries

As an end user, you are legally obliged (battery law) to return all used batteries; disposal in the normal domestic waste is prohibited. Batteries containing contaminant material are labelled with this symbol indicating that they may not be disposed of in normal domestic waste. The abbreviations used for the crucial heavy metals are: Cd = cadmium, Hg = mercury, Pb = lead. You can return your used batteries to collection points in your community or any- where where batteries are sold free-of-charge.

20 TV 610 Target bracket Operation In addition to the distance, the laser range finder can be used to determine the surface and volume. It is also possible to perform indirect measurements; to add and subtract measured values; save measured values; determine the minimum and maximum values and to alter the reference point of the measurement depending on circumstances. It is fitted with a spirit level to ensure level installation and a ¼ inch thread for a tripod stand, in or- der to ensure the greatest level of measurement exactness over longer distances (up to 60 m). Switching on and off Press the (G) button to switch on. After approx. one second, the dis- play shows measurement readiness as shown in the adjacent figure. The flashing symbol indicates that the target laser has been switched on. Range finding is automatically pre-selected after activation. The target laser is automatically switched off after approx. 30 seconds without measurements; this saves energy. To switch off the instrument, depress and hold the (F) button approx. one second. The instrument switches off automatically after approx. three minutes without a measurement having been performed. Reference point Depending on the measurement requirements, up to three different target points can be se- lected with the (C) button to serve as the reference point for the measured distance. Leading edge: Rear edge: Angle “corner”: To measure from a corner, select the reference point “corner” and open the target bracket on the rear edge of the instrument. Apply the instrument with the target bracket in the corner in order to measure the range from the targeted point.Operation TV 610 21 ENGLISH ENGLISH ENGLISH Measurements Range finding Make sure that the target laser is switched on. If it is not switched on, press the (G) meas- uring button. Make sure that you have selected the correct reference point (de- pending on the target point) and home in on the object to be meas- ured with the target laser. Press the (G) measuring button. Given a correct measurement, an acknowledgement tone will sound; the target laser will be switched off and the measurement result will be shown on the display. The basic setting of the measuring unit is metres (m). Area measurement Press the (H) button when the measuring instrument is switched on. A perspective sur- face will be shown on the left-hand side of the display. Perform a length-wise measurement (flashing bar). The measurement result is displayed in the upper-most row.

After measuring the distance of the lowest pointOperation TV 610 23 ENGLISH ENGLISH ENGLISH Indirect measurement A length (e.g. the height of an object) can be calculated indirectly using the Pythagoras function. The object height (opposite leg) is calculated using the distance to the highest point of the ob- ject (hypotenuse) and the horizontal distance to the object (adjacent leg). To this end, you can choose between two-point measurement (with horizontal measurement of the deepest object point) or three-point measurement (when the lowest object point is located at a low height). Calculating measured values Addition of measured values To add measured values, proceed as follows: After determining a measured value, press the (D) button. The measured value is saved displayed in the upper-most row. Determine the next measured value by pressing the measuring button. This is displayed in the second row. The sum of the measured value is displayed in the lowest row.

Subtracting measured values To subtract measured values, proceed as follows: After determining a measured value, press the (J) button. The measured value is saved displayed in the upper-most row. Determine the next measured value by pressing the measuring button. This is displayed in the second row. The difference of the measured values is displayed in the lowest row.

When measuring distances, choose between metres (m), inches (in), feet (ft) and feet and inches (“ + ”). When measuring surfaces, choose between square metres (m²) and square feet (ft²). When measuring volumes, choose between cubic metres (m³) and cubic feet (ft³). Minimum / maximum recording To show the shortest and widest distances during continual distance measurement, press the (I) button. A short tone will sound following every new measurement result. The shortest distance (min.) measured is displayed in the upper-most row. The longest distance measured (max.) is displayed in the second row. The current distance measured is displayed in the lowest row. Pressing the “OFF” button will interrupt the continual distance measurement; the measured values will continue to be shown on the display.
