Congratulations on the purchase of laser distance meter ADA COSMO 50!
Permitted use
· Measuring distances
· Computing functions, e.g. areas, volumes, subtractions, Pythagorean calculation
· Storing measurements
The safety regulations and instructions along with the operating manual should be read carefully before
initial operation.The person responsible for the instrument must ensure that equipment is used in accor-
dance with the instructions. This person is also accountable for the deployment of personnel and for their
training and for the safety of the equipment when in use.

SAFETY INSTRUCTION
Prohibited use
Please follow up instructions given in operating manual.
Do not remove warning labels or safety instructions.
Do not aim laser beam at persons or animals.
Use the instrument in the places where it could be dangerous: on the air transport, near manufacturers,
production facilities, in the places where the work of laser distance meter can lead to the harmful effects on
people or animals.
COSMO 50 5
The instrument is a laser class 2 laser product with
power < 1 mW and wavelength 635 nm. Laser is safety
in ordinary conditions of usage.

Inserting / Replacing Batteries
Remove the end piece on 180º. Remove the battery cover, insert the battery correctly. Pay attention to
correct polarity.
Close the battery compartment.
Replace the battery when symbol constantly blinks in the display.
MENU FUNCTIONS
Swtich on and off
Press and hold key for about 2 seconds to start continuous measuring.
The device also switches off automatically after 3 minutes of inactivity i.e. no key is pressed within that interval. To
