7 Initial operation
Insert the batteries
See drawing E:
ÂTo ensure a reliable use, use exclusively alkaline batteries.

8 How to use
8.1 Measuring conditions
The quality of the measurement depends on the surfaces to which you are measuring.
Measurement errors
Measuring errors are possible in case of:
Îcolourless fluids (e.g. water)
Îclean, translucent glass
Îstyrofoam or similar semi-translucent surfaces
Îstrongly reflecting targets that deflect the laserbeam
Îmeasurements aimed at moving objects
Causes:
ÎStrongly reflecting targets deflect the laser beam and cause measuring errors.
ÎNon-reflecting, dark surfaces increase the measuring time.
For constantly high-quality measurements
ÂPerform control measurements periodically.
ÂPerform control measurements before and after important measurements.
Caution
Damage to property due to use of wrong measuring results!
ÂAvoid measuring errors due to unexpected events during distance measuring.
ÂPerform a control measurement.
