Assembly
Battery Charging
Do not use a different battery charger. The battery
charger provided is matched to the lithium ion battery in-
stalled in your measuring tool.
Observe the mains voltage! The voltage of the power
source must correspond with the data on the type plate of
the battery charger.
Note: The batteryis supplied partially charged. To ensure full
battery capacity, completely charge the battery in the charger
before using for the first time.
The lithium-ion battery can be charged at any time without re-
ducing its service life. Interrupting the charging procedure
does not damage the battery.
When the bottom segment of the battery charge-control indi-
cator gflashes, only a few more measurements can be carried
out. Charge the battery.
When the frame around the segments of the battery charge-
control indicator gflashes, measurements are no longer pos-
sible. Continued use of the measuring tool is only possible for
a short period (e.g., for checking entries in the measured-val-
ue list, performing a calculation, etc.). Recharge the battery.
The charge procedure begins as soon as the mains plug of the
battery charger is plugged into the socket outlet and the
charge connector 23 is plugged into socket 15.

The battery charge-control indicator gindicates the charging
progress. During the charging procedure, the segments flash
one after the other. When all segments of battery charge-con-
trol indicator gare displayed, the battery is completely
charged.
Disconnect the battery charger from the mains supply when
not using it for longer periods.
Additionally, the battery can alsobe recharged via a USB port.
For this, connect the measuring tool to a USB port using the
micro USB cable. In USB operation (recharging, data trans-
mission), the charging duration ncan be significantly pro-
longed.
The measuring tool cannot be used independently during the
charging procedure. Usage is possible only in combination
with a USB connection and the available software.
The Bluetooth® function switches off during the charging pro-
cedure. Existing connections to other devices are interrupt-
ed. This can lead to data loss.
Protect the battery charger against moisture!
Notes for Optimum Handling of the Battery in the Measur-
ing Tool
Store the measuring tool only within the allowable tempera-
ture range, see “Technical Data”. As an example, do not leave
the measuring tool in a vehicle in summer.
A significantly reduced working period after charging indi-
cates that the battery is used and must be replaced.
Observe the notes for disposal.
Operation
Initial Operation
Do not leave the switched on measuring tool unattend-
ed and switch the measuring tool off after use. Other
persons could be blinded by the laser beam.
Protect the measuring tool against moisture and direct
sun light.
Do not subject the measuring tool to extreme tempera-
tures or variations in temperature. As an example, do
not leave it in vehicles for long time. In case of large varia-
tions in temperature, allow the measuring tool to adjust to
the ambient temperature before putting it into operation.
In case of extreme temperatures or variations in tempera-
ture, the accuracy of the measuring tool can be impaired.
Avoid heavy impact to or falling down of the measuring
tool. After severe exterior effects to the measuring tool, it
is recommended to carry out an accuracy check (see “Ac-
curacy Check and Calibration of the Grade Measurement”
and “Accuracy Check of the Distance Measurement” on
page 17) each time before continuing to work).
Switching On and Off
For switching on the measuring tool, the following possibili-
ties are given:
– Press the On/Off button 4: The measuring tool is switched
on and is in length measurement mode. The laser is not ac-
tivated.
– Pressing the measuring button 2: Measuring tool and laser
are switched on. The measuring tool is in length measure-
ment mode. When the measuring tool is inserted in the
measuring rail 27, the grade measurement function is acti-
vated.
Do not point the laser beam at persons or animals and
do not look into the laser beam yourself, not even from
a large distance.
To switch off the measuring tool, press the On/Off button 4
for a few seconds.
When no button on the measuring tool is pressed for approx.
5 minutes, the measuring tool automatically switches off to
save the batteries/rechargeable batteries.
When the angle is not changed for approx. 5 minutes when in
the “Grade measurement” operating mode, the measuring
tool automatically switches off to save the batteries/re-
chargeable batteries.
When switching off automatically, all stored values are re-
tained.
Measuring Procedure
When the measuring tool is inserted in the measuring rail 27,
it is always in the length measurement or grade measurement
function after switching on by pressing the measuring button
2. Other measuring modes can be switched to by pressing the
respective function/mode button (see “Measuring Func-
tions”, page 13).
After switching on, the rear edge of the measuring tool is pre-
set as the reference level for the measurement. By pressing
the reference level button 10, the reference level can be
changed (see “Selecting the Reference Level”, page 13).
Place the measuring tool with the selected reference plane
against the desired starting point of the measurement (e.g. a
wall).
Briefly press the measuring button 2to switch on the laser
beam.
Do not point the laser beam at persons or animals and
do not look into the laser beam yourself, not even from
a large distance.
Aim the laser beam at the target surface. Briefly press the
measuring button 2again to initate the measurement.
When the laser beam is switched on permanently, the meas-
urement already starts after the first actuation of the measur-
ing button 2. In continuous measurement mode, the measure-
ment starts immediately upon switching on.
Typically, the measured value appears after 0.5 and latest af-
ter 4 seconds. The duration of the measurement depends on
the distance, the light conditions and the reflection proper-
ties of the target surface. The end of the measurement is indi-
cated by a signal tone. The laser beam is switched off auto-
matically upon completion of the measurement.
When no measurement takes place approx. 20 seconds after
collimating, the measuring tool automatically switches off to
save the battery.

Selecting the Reference Level (see figure A)
For the measurement, you can select between four reference
planes:
– The rear edge of the measuring tool or the front edge of the
90° folded-out positioning pin 9(e.g. when measuring on-
ward from outer corners),
– The tip of the 180° folded-out positioning pin 9(e.g. when
measuring from a corner),
– The front measuring-tool edge (e.g. when measuring on-
ward from a table edge),
– The centre of thread 19 (e.g. for tripod measurements).
To select the reference level, press button 10 until the re-
quested reference level is indicated on the display. Each time
after switching on the measuring tool, the rear end of the
measuring tool is preset as the reference level.
Subsequent changing of the reference level for measure-
ments that have already been carried out (e.g. when indicat-
ing measuring values in the measured-value list) is not possi-
ble.
“Basic Settings”
To access the “Basic settings” menu, press and hold the basic
settings button 8.
Briefly press the basic settings button 8to select the individ-
ual menu items.
Press the minus button 5or the plus button 11 to select the
setting within the menu items.
To exit the “Basic settings” menu, press the measurement
button 2.
With exception of the “Permanent laser beam” setting, all ba-
sic settings are retained when switching off.
Continuous Laser Beam
Do not point the laser beam at persons or animals and
do not look into the laser beam yourself, not even from
a large distance.
In this setting, the laser beam also remains switched on be-
tween measurements; for measuring, it is only required to
press the measuring button 2once.
Measuring Functions
Simple Length Measurement
For length measurements, press button 12 until the “length
measurement” indication appears on the display.
To switch the laser on and for measuring,
briefly press the measuring button 2once

dicator for area measurement appears on the display.
Afterwards, measure the length and the width, one after an-
other, in the same manner as a length measurement. The laser
beam remains switched on between both measurements.
Upon completion of the second measure-
ment, the surface is automatically calcu-
lated and displayed in the result line c.
The individual measured values are dis-
played in the measured-value lines a.
Volume Measurement
For volume measurements, press button 12 until the indica-
tor for volume measurement appears on the display.

Upon completion of the third measure-
ment, the volume is automatically calcu-
lated and displayed in the result line c.
The individual measured values are dis-
played in the measured-value lines a.
Values above 1000000 m3cannot be indicated; “ERROR”
appears on the display. Divide the volume to be measured in-
to individual measurements; their values can then be calculat-
ed separately and then summarized.
Continuous Measurement (Tracking) / Minimum/Maxi-
mum Measurement (see figure B)
For continuous measurements, the measuring tool can be
moved relative to the target, whereby the measuring value is
updated approx. every 0.5 seconds. In this manner, as an ex-
ample, you can move a certain distance away from a wall,
while the actual distance can always be read.
For continuous measurements, press function mode button 8
until the indicator for continuous measurement appears on
the display. To start the continuous measurement, press the
measuring button 2.
The minimum measurement is used to determine the shortest
distance from a fixed reference point. It is used, as an exam-
ple, for determining plumb lines or horizontal partitions.
The maximum measurement is used to determine the greatest
distance from a fixed reference point. It is used, as an exam-
ple, for determining diagonals.
The current measuring value is displayed
in the result line c. The maximal (“max”)
and the minimal (“min”) measuring value
are displayed in the measured-value lines
a. It is always overwritten, when the cur-
rent length measurement value is less
than the present minimal or larger than
the present maximal value.
The previous minimal and maximal values are deleted by
pressing the button for clearing the internal memory 4.
Pressing the measuring button 2ends the continuous meas-
urement. The last measured value is displayed in the result
line c. Pressing the measuring button 2again restarts a con-
tinuous measuring run.
Continuousmeasurementautomaticallyswitchesoffafter5 min.
The last measured value remains indicated in the result line c.
Indirect Distance Measurement
Note: Indirect distance measurement is always less accurate
than direct distance measurement. Depending on applica-
tion, greater measuring errors are possible than with direct
distance measurement. To improve the measuring accuracy,
we recommend using a tripod (accessory).
The indirect distance measurement is used to measure dis-
tances that cannot be measured directly because an obstacle
would obstruct the laser beam or no target surface is available
as a reflector. This measuring procedure can only be used in
vertical direction. Any deviation in horizontal direction leads
to measuring 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 deter-
mining different distances.
a) Indirect height measurement (see figure C)
Press the function-mode button 8until the indication for indi-
rect height measurement appears on the display.
Pay attention that the measuring tool is positioned at the
same height as the bottom measuring point. Now, tilt the

Measure the room height Aas for a length measurement. The
measured value (“cst”) is displayed in the top measured-val-
ue line a. The laser remains switched on.
Afterwards, measure length B1of the first
wall. The surface is automatically calcu-
lated and displayed in the result line c.
The length measurement value is dis-
played in the centre measured-value line
a. The laser remains switched on.
Now, measure length B2of the second
wall. The individually measured value dis-
playedinthe centremeasured-valuelinea
is added to the length B1. The sum of both
lengths (“sum”, displayed in the bottom
measured-value line a) is multiplied with
the stored height A. The total surface val-
ue is displayed in the result line c.
In this manner, you can measure any number of further
lengthsBX, which are automatically addedand multipliedwith
height A.
The condition for a correct area/surface calculation is that the
first measured length (in the example the room height A) is
identical for all partial surfaces.
Grade Measurement (see figure G)
After pressing the grade measurement button 3, the indica-
tion for grade measurement appears on the display . The
backside of the measuring tool is used as the reference plane.
By pressing the grade measurement button 3again, the side
surfaces of the measuring tool are used as reference plane
and the display view is shown turned by 90°.
Press the measuring button 2to lock the measuring value and
accept it in the measured values memory. Pressing the meas-
uring button 2again continues the measurement.
When the indication flashes during the measuring procedure,
then the measuring tool was tilted too much in lateral direc-
tion.
If the “digital vial” function is activated in the basic settings,
the grade value is also displayed in the other measuring func-
tions in line dof display 1.
Timer Function
The timer function is helpful, when, for example, movements
of the measuring tool during measuring are to be prevented.
To activate the timer function, press and hold button 6until
the indicator appears in the display.
The time period from the actuation until the measurement
takes place is displayed in the measured-value linea. The time
period can be adjusted between 1 s and 60 s by pressing the
plus button 11 or the minus button 5.
The measurement takes place automati-
cally after the set time period has
elapsed.
The timer function can also be used for
distance measurements within other
measuring modes (e.g. area/surface
measurement). Adding and subtracting measuring results as
well as continuous measurements are not possible.
List of the last Measuring Values
The measuring tool stores the last 50 measuring values and
their calculations, and displays them in reverse order (last
measured value first).
To recall the stored measurements, press
button 7. The result of the last measure-
ment is indicated on the display, along
with the indicator for the measured-value
list eand the memory location of the dis-
played measurements.
When no further measurements are stored after pressing but-
ton 7again, the measuring tool switches back to the last
measuring function. To exit the measured-value list, press
one of the measuring-mode buttons.
To continuously save the currently displayed length measure-
ment value as a constant, press and hold the measured-value
list button 7until “CST” is indicated on thedisplay. A measured-
value list entry cannot be subsequently saved as a constant.
To use a length measurement value in a measuring mode (e. g.
area/surface measurement), press the measured-value list
button 7, select thedesired entry and confirm by pressing the
result button 6.
Deleting Measured Values
Briefly pressing button 4deletes the last individual measuring
value determined in any measuring function. Briefly pressing
the button repeatedly deletes the individual measuring values
in reverse order.
To delete the currently displayed measured-value list entry,
briefly press button 4. To delete the complete measured-val-
ue list and the constant “CST”, press and hold the measured-
value list button 7and at the same time briefly press button 4.
In wall surface measurement mode, briefly pressing button 4
the first time deletes the last individually measured value;
pressing the button a second time deletes all lengths BX, and
pressing the button a third time deletes the room height A.
Adding Measured Values
To add measured values, firstly carry out any measurement or
select an entry from the measured-value list. Then press the
plus button 11. For confirmation, “+” appears on the display.
Then carry out a second measurement or select another entry
from the measured-value list.
To call up the sum of both measurements,
press the result button 6. The calculation
is indicated in the measured-value lines a,
and the sum in the result line c.
After calculation of the sum, further
measured values or measured-value list
entries can be added to this result when
pressing the plus button 11 prior to each measurement.
Pressing the result button 6ends the addition.
Notes on the addition:
– Mixed length, area and volume values cannot be added to-
gether. For example, when a length and area value are add-
ed, “ERROR” briefly appears on the display after pressing
the result button 6. Afterwards,the measuring toolswitch-
es back to the last active measuring mode.

– For each calculation, the result of one measurement is
added (e.g. the volume value); for continuous measure-
ments, this would be the displayed measured value in re-
sult line c. The addition of individual measured values from
the measured-value lines ais not possible.
Subtracting Measured Values
To subtract measuring values, press mi-
nus button 5; For confirmation, “–” is in-
dicated on the display. The further proce-
dure is analog to “Adding Measured
Values”.
Data Transmission to other Devices
The measuring tool is equipped with a Bluetooth® module,
which enables data transmission via radio technology to cer-
tain mobile terminals/devices with a Bluetooth® interface
(e.g., smartphones, tablets).
For information on the necessary system requirements for a
Bluetooth® connection, please refer to the Bosch website at
www.bosch-pt.de.
For data transmission via Bluetooth®, time delays between
mobile terminal/device and measuring tool may occur. This
can be possible due to the distance between both devices or
the object being measured.
Data transmission to certain other devices with USB interface
is possible via the measuring tool’s micro USB port (e.g. to
computers, notebooks). In USB operation, the charging dura-
tion ncan be significantly prolonged during data transmis-
sion.
Activating the Bluetooth®Interface for Data Transmission
to a Mobile Terminal/Device
To activate the Bluetooth® interface, press the measuring
tool’s Bluetooth® button 13. Make sure that the Bluetooth® in-
terface on your mobile terminal/device is activated.
Special Bosch applications (apps) are available to extend the
functional range of the mobile terminal/device and for simpli-
fication of the data processing. Depending on terminal/de-
vice, these can be downloaded at the respective app stores:
After starting the Bosch application, the connection between
the mobile terminal/device and the measuring tool is estab-
lished. When several active measuring tools are found, select
the appropriate measuring tool. When only one active meas-
uring tool is found, the connection is automatically estab-
lished.
Note: When establishing the connection between the meas-
uring tool and the mobile terminal/device (e.g., smartphone,
tablet) the first time (pairing), the measuring tool's PIN code
may be requested. In this case, enter “0000”.
The connection status and the active connection are indicat-
ed on the display 1(l).
When a connection cannot be established within 5 minutes
after pressing the Bluetooth® button 13, the Bluetooth® fea-
ture automatically switches off to save the batteries/re-
chargeable batteries.
When operating the measuring tool in the measuring rail 27,
data transmission is not possible.
Deactivating the Bluetooth®Interface
To activate the Bluetooth® interface, press the Bluetooth®
button 13 or switch the measuring tool off.
When the Bluetooth® interface is deactivated or when the
Bluetooth® connection is interrupted (e.g., because of too
large distance or obstructions between the measuring tool
and the mobile terminal/device as well as electromagnetic
disturbances), Bluetooth® (l) is no longer indicated on the
display.
Data Transmission via USB Interface
Connect the measuring tool to your computer or notebook
with the micro USB cable. After starting the software on your
computer or notebook, a connection is established to the
measuring tool.
To download the current software and for further information,
please refer to the Bosch website at
www.bosch-pt.de.
Note: As soon as the measuring tool is connected to a com-
puter or notebook via the micro USB cable, the lithium ion
battery is charged. The charge duration varies depending on
the charging current.
To recharge the measuring tool as quickly as possible, use the
provided charger, see “Battery Charging”.
Working Advice
The measuring tool is equipped with a radio interface.
Local operating restrictions, e.g. in airplanes or hospi-
tals, are to be observed.
General Information
The reception lens 17 and the laser beam outlet 18 must not
be covered when taking a measurement.
The measuring tool must not be moved while taking a meas-
urement (with the exception of the continuous measurement
and grade measurement functions). Therefore, place the
measuring tool, as far as this is possible, against or on a firm
stop or supporting surface.
Influence Effects on the Measuring Range
The measuring range depends upon the light conditions and
the reflection properties of the target surface. For improved
visibility of the laser beam when working outdoors and when
the sunlight is intense, use the laser viewing glasses 30 (ac-
cessory) and the laser target plate 31 (accessory), or shade
off the target surface.

Bosch Power Tools 2 609 141 148 | (24.1.14)
Influence Effects on the Measuring Result
Due to physical effects, faulty measurements cannot be ex-
cluded when measuring on different surfaces. Included here
are:
– Transparent surfaces (e.g., glass, water),
– Reflecting surfaces (e.g., polished metal, glass),
– Porous surfaces (e.g. insulation materials),
– Structured surfaces (e.g., roughcast, natural stone).
If required, use the laser target plate 31 (accessory) on these
surfaces.
Furthermore, faulty measurements are also possible when
sighting inclined target surfaces.
Also, air layers with varying temperatures or indirectly re-
ceived reflections can affect the measured value.
Accuracy Check and Calibration of the Grade Measure-
ment (see figure H)
Regularly check the accuracy of the grade measurement. This
is done by carrying out a reversal measurement. For this,
place the measuring tool on a table and measure the grade.
Turn the measuring tool by 180 ° and measure the grade
again. The difference of the indicated reading may not exceed
by more than 0.3 ° (max.).
In case of greater deviation, the measuring tool must be recal-
ibrated. For this, press and hold the grade measurement but-
ton 3. Follow the directions on the display.
After severe temperature changes and impact, we recom-
mend an accuracy check and, if required, to recalibrate the
measuring tool. After a temperature change, the measuring
tool must acclimate for a while before calibrating.
Accuracy Check of the Distance Measurement
The accuracy of the distance measurement can be checked as
follows:
– Select a permanently unchangeable measuring section
with a length of approx. 1 to 10 metres; its length must be
precisely known (e.g. the width of a room or a door open-
ing). The measuring distance must be indoors; the target
surface for the measurement must be smooth and reflect
well.
–Measurethedistance10 times after another.
The deviation of the individual measurements from the mean
value must not exceed ±2 mm (max.). Log the measure-
ments, so that you can compare their accuracy at a later point
of time.
Working with the Tripod (Accessory)
The use of a tripod is particularly necessary for larger distanc-
es. Position the measuring tool with the 1/4" thread 19 onto
the quick-change plate of the tripod 29 or a commercially
available camera tripod. Tighten the measuring tool with the
locking screw of the quick-change plate.
Set the corresponding reference level for measurement with
a tripod by pushing button 10 (the reference level is the
thread).
Working with the Measuring Rail (see figures I–K)
The measuring rail 27 can be used for a more accurate grade
measurement result. Distance measurements are not possi-
ble with the measuring rail.
Place the measuring tool into the measur-
ing rail 27 as shown and lock the measur-
ing tool with locking lever 28. Press the
measuring button 2to activate the “Meas-
uring rail” operating mode.
Regularly check the accuracy of the grade measurement by
carrying out a reversal measurement or with the spirit levels
of the measuring rail.
In case of greater deviation, the measuring tool must be recal-
ibrated. For this, press and hold the grade measurement but-
ton 3. Follow the directions on the display.
When operating the measuring tool in the measuring rail 27,
data transmission is not possible.
To end the “Measuring rail” operating mode, switch the meas-
uring tool off and remove it from the measuring rail.
