carried out safely. Store these instructions in
a safe place and provide them when transfer-
ring the GCY42 or any power tool equipped
with it to a third party.
uNever swallow button cells. Swallowing button cells can
result in severe internal burns and death within two hours.

uEnsure that battery replacement is carried out properly.
There is a risk of explosion.
uDo not attempt to recharge the button cell and do not
short circuit the button cell. The button cell may leak, ex-
plode, catch fire and cause personal injury.
uRemove and dispose of drained button cells correctly.
Drained button cells may leak and damage the product or
cause personal injury.
uDo not overheat the button cell or throw it into fire. The
button cell may leak, explode, catch fire and cause personal
injury.
uDo not damage the button cell and or take the button
cell apart. The button cell may leak, explode, catch fire and
cause personal injury.
uDo not allow damaged button cells to come into contact
with water. Leaking lithium may mix with water to create
hydrogen, which could cause a fire, an explosion, or per-
sonal injury.
uIf you cannot close the cover, stop using the Bluetooth®
module, remove the button cell and have the module re-
paired.

large coin. Using unsuitable objects can damage the elec-
tronics or the cover.
– To start using the product after purchasing it or to change
the battery (1), follow the illustrations on the graphics
pages. Observe the following advice when doing so.
Initial Starting Operation
(see figures A1–A5)
Note: Store the placeholder (3) of the GCY42 in a safe place.
Refit the placeholder when passing the power tool on without
the GCY 42.
Place the battery (1) in the GCY 42 (2) with the plus terminal
facing upwards. You do not need to push the battery in as the
battery does not engage. It is simply secured in the correct po-
sition when you close the cover.
To initialise the GCY42 after inserting the battery, press the
on/off switch of the power tool.
Changing the Battery
(see figures B1–B4)
Only remove the used battery (1) with your fingers.
A warning will be displayed in the app before the battery is
fully used up.

Removing the GCY 42
(see figures C1–C2)
Do not use force to remove the GCY42 (2). Do not use any
sharp or pointed tools.
Note: Turning the power tool over may make it easier to re-
move the GCY42.
Starting operation
Once you have inserted the battery (1) and pressed the on/off
switch on the power tool, the GCY42 will transmit a signal
continuously. The Bluetooth® signal will only stop the battery is
drained or faulty, or if the battery is removed.
You can find further information directly in the app from
Bosch.
Installing and Setting up the App
You will need to install the Bosch Toolbox app before you can
use the GCY42.
– Download the Bosch Toolbox app from the relevant app
store (Apple App Store, Google Play Store).
Note: You will need to have a user account with the relevant
app store to do this.

– Then select the MyTools sub-item in the app.
– The display of your mobile terminal device will show you all
subsequent steps required to connect the power tool to the
terminal device.
Data Transfer via Bluetooth®
The GCY42 transmits a signal at regular intervals. The ambient
conditions may mean it takes several transmission intervals for
the GCY42 to be detected. If the GCY42 is not detected,
check the following:
– Is the distance to the mobile terminal device too great?
Reduce the distance between the mobile device and the
GCY42.
– Is the battery too low or drained?
Change the battery.
– Switch Bluetooth® off and on again on your mobile device.
Check whether the GCY42 has now been detected.
