Assembly
Inserting/Replacing the Batteries
Alkali-manganese batteries are recommended for the opera-
tion of the measuring tool.
– Press the release button 7and fold the measuring pin 8out
by 180°.
– To open the battery compartment cover 16, fold the rotary
lock 21 upwards and turn it anti-clockwise by one quarter-
turn. Lift up the battery compartment cover using the rota-
ry lock. Insert the batteries. When inserting the batteries,
ensure that the polarity is correct according to the illustra-
tion on the inside of the battery compartment.
Remove the batteries from the measuring tool when
not using it for extended periods. When storing for ex-
tended periods, the batteries can corrode and self-dis-
charge.
Note: TrackMyTools can only be used once the batteries are
inserted.
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 expose the measuring tool to any extreme tem-
peratures or variations in temperature. For example, do
not leave it in a car for extended periods of time. In case of
large variations in temperature, allow the measuring tool to
adjust to the ambient temperature before putting it into
operation. The performance of the measuring tool (range,
precision) may be compromised if exposed to extreme
temperatures or variations in temperature.
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 of the Distance Measurement”, page 17)
each time before continuing to work.
The measuring tool is equipped with a radio interface.
Local operating restrictions, e.g. in airplanes or hospi-
tals, are to be observed.
Switching On and Off
During work, ensure that the reception lens 18, laser beam
output 19 and camera 20 are not closed off or covered, oth-
erwise correct measurement will not be possible.

button 9[].
–Toswitch off the camera, press the viewfinder button 10.
–Toswitch off the measuring tool, press and hold the
On/Off/Delete button 9[].
The measured values and device settings in the memory are
retained when you switch the tool off.
Measuring Procedure
Once switched on, the measuring tool is in the length meas-
urement function. For a different measuring function, press
the button 13 [Func]. Select the desired measuring function
with the buttons 4[+] or the button 11 [–] (see “Measuring
Functions”, page 14). Activate the measuring function with
button 13 [Func] or with the measuring button 2[].
After switching on, the rear edge of the measuring tool is pre-
set as the reference level for the measurement. To change the
reference level, see “Selecting the Reference Level”, page 12.
Place the measuring tool against the desired starting point of
the measurement (e.g. a wall).
Note: If the measuring tool has been switched on using the
On/Off/Delete button 9[ ], briefly press the measuring
button 2[ ] to switch the laser on.
To initiate the measurement, briefly press the measuring but-
ton 2[ ]. Then the laser beam is switched off. For a further
measurement, repeat this process.
With the laser beam continuously switched on and when in
the continuous measurement function, the measurement be-
gins the first time you press the measuring button 2[].
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.
Note: The measured value typically appears within 0.5 s and
no later than approx. 4 s. The duration of the measurement
depends on the distance, the lighting conditions and the re-
flective properties of the target surface. Upon completion of
the measurement, the laser beam is automatically switched
off. The continuously switched-on laser beam is not switched
off after the measurement (see “Permanent Laser Beam”,
page 13).
Selecting the Reference Level (see figure A)
For the measurement, you can select between four reference
planes:
– the rear measuring-tool edge (e.g. when measuring on-
ward from a wall),
– The tip of the measuring pin 8folded by 180° (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 17 (e.g. for tripod measurements).
Folding out and in of the measuring pin 8by 180° is detected
automatically and the appropriate reference level is suggest-
ed. Confirm the setting by pressing the measuring button 2
[].

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.
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 laser beam remains switched on between the individual
measurements.
a) Indirect Height Measurement (see figure B)
Select the indirect height measurement .
Ensure that the measuring tool is at the same height as the
lower measuring point. Then tilt the measuring tool around
the reference level and measure the distance “1” as for a
length measurement (displayed as a red line).
Upon completion of the measurement, the re-
sult for the sought distance “X” is displayed in
the result line a. The measuring values for the
distance “1” and the angle “α” are displayed in
the measured-value lines h.
b) Double indirect Height Measurement (see figure C)
The measuring tool can indirectly measure all distances,
which lie in the vertical level of the measuring tool.
Select the double indirect height measurement .
Measure distances “1” and “2” in this sequence as for a
length measurement.
Upon completion of the measurement, the re-
sult for the sought distance “X” is displayed in
the result line a. The measuring values for the
distances “1”, “2” and the angle “α” are dis-
played in the measured-value lines h.
Pay attention that the reference plane of the measurement
(e.g. the rear edge of the measuring tool) remains exactly at
the same location for all individual measurements within a
measuring sequence.
c) Indirect Length Measurement (see figure D)
Select the indirect length measurement .
Pay attention that the measuring tool is positioned at the
same height as the sought measuring point. Now, tilt the
measuring tool around the reference plane and measure dis-
tance “1” as for a length measurement.
Upon completion of the measurement, the re-
sult for the sought distance “X” is displayed in
the result line a. The measuring values for the
distance “1” and the angle “α” are displayed in
the measured-value lines h.
d) Trapezium Measurement (see figure E)
The trapezium measurement can be used to determine the
length of a roof slope, for example.
Select the trapezium measurement .
Measure distances “1”, “2” and “3” in this sequence with a
length measurement. Pay attention that the measurement of
distance “3” starts exactly at the end point of distance “1”
and that a right angle exists between distances “1” and “2” as
well as between “1” and “3”.
Once the final measurement is complete, the
result is displayed for the distance “X” you
searched for in the result line a. The individual
measured values are in the measured value
lines h.
Wall Surface Measurement (see figure F)
The wall surface measurement is used to determine the sum
of several individual surfaces with a common height.
In the illustrated example, the total area of several walls
should be determined, which have the same ceiling height H,
but different lengths L.
Select the wall surface measurement .
Measure the ceiling height Has with a length measurement.
The measured value is displayed in the top measured-value
line. The laser remains switched on.
Then measure the length L1of the first wall. The
surface is automatically calculated and dis-
played in the result line a. The last length meas-
ured value is in the bottom measured-value line
h. The laser remains switched on.
Now measure the length L2of the second wall.The individual
measured value displayed in the measured-value line his add-
ed to the length L1. The sum of the two lengths (displayed in

the middle measured-value line h) is multiplied by the saved
height H. The total surface value is displayed in the result line
a.
You can measure any number of lengths LX, which will be au-
tomatically added and multiplied by the height H.
The requirement for a correct area calculation is that the first
measured length (for example the ceiling height H) is identical
for all sub-areas.
Stake out Function (see figure G)
The stake out function repeatedly measures a defined length
(distance). These lengths can be transferred to a surface, for
example to enable material to be cut into pieces of equal
lengths or to install stud walls in a drywall construction. The
minimum adjustable length is 0.1 m, the maximum adjustable
length is 50 m.
Note: The distance from the marking is shown in the display
in the marking function. The reference is not the edge of the
measuring tool.
Select the stake out function .
Use button 4[+] or button 11 [–] to set the required length.
Begin the stakeout function by pressing the measuring button
2[ ] and slowly move away from the starting point.
The measuring tool continuously measures the
distance to the starting point. The defined
length and the current measured value are
thereby displayed. The lower or upper arrow
displays the shortest distance to the next or last
marking.
Note: When carrying out a continuous measurement, you can
also set a measured value as a defined length by pressing and
holding the measuring button 2[].
The left factor specifies how many times the de-
fined length has already been reached. The
green arrows on either side of the display indi-
cate the reaching of a length for marking pur-
poses.
Red arrows or red text indicate the actual value when the ref-
erence is outside of the display.
Gradient Measurement/Digital Spirit Level
Select the gradient measurement/digital spirit level .
The measuring tool automatically switches between two
states.
The digital spirit level is used to check the hori-
zontal or vertical alignment of an object (e.g.
washing machine, refrigerator, etc.).
When the inclination 3° exceeds, the ball in the
display lights red.
The bottom of the measuring tool is used as the reference lev-
el for the digital spirit level.
Gradient measurement is used to measure a
slope or incline (e.g. of stairs, railings, when fit-
ting furniture, laying pipes, etc.).
The left-hand side of the measuring tool serves
as the reference level for grade measurement. If
the display flashes during measurement, the measuring tool
has been tipped too heavily to the side.
Memory Functions
The value or end result of each completed measurement is au-
tomatically saved.
Memory Value Display
A maximum of 50 values can be called up.
Select the memory function using soft key 12 [].
The number of the memory value is shown at
the top of the display, the corresponding mem-
ory value and the corresponding measuring
function are shown at the bottom.
Press button 4[+] to browse forwards through
the saved values.
Press button 11 [–] to browse backwards through the saved
values.
If there is no value available in the memory, “0.000” is shown
at the bottom of the display and “0” at the top.
The oldest value is located in position 1 in the memory, while
the newest value is in position 50 (when 50 memory values
are available). When a further value is saved, the oldest value
in the memory is always deleted.
Deleting the Memory
To open the memory, press soft key 12 [ ]. To delete the
measured values in reverse order, press soft key 3[]as
often as required. To delete the entire content of the memory,
press soft key 3[ ] and the zoom button 5at the same
time.
Adding/Subtracting Values
Measured values or end results can be added or subtracted.
Adding Values
The following example describes the addition of areas:
Measure an area asdescribed in section “Area Measurement”,
see page 14.
Press the button 4[+]. The calculated area and
the symbol “+” will be displayed.
Press the measuring button 2[ ] to start an-
other area measurement. Measure the area as
described in section “Area Measurement”, see
page 14. Once the second measurement is
completed, the result of the second area measurement is dis-
played below.To show the end result, press the measurement
button 2[]oncemore.
Note: With a length measurement, the end result is displayed
immediately.
Subtracting Values
To subtract values, press button 11 [–]. The subsequent
steps are the same as for “Adding Values”.
Deleting Measured Values
Briefly pressing the On/Off/Delete button 9[ ] will delete
the last measured value in all measuring functions.

Bosch Power Tools 1 609 92A 3R5 | (5.2.18)
Bluetooth®Interface
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.com
Further information can be found on the Bosch product
page.
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.
Activating the Bluetooth®Interface for Data Transmission
to a Mobile Terminal/Device
The Bluetooth® interface is activated in the settings. To acti-
vate the Bluetooth® signal, press button 4[+]. Ensure that the
Bluetooth® interface is activated on your mobile end device.
The special Bosch “Measuring Master” app is available to ex-
tend the range of functions of the mobile end device and to
make data easier to process. You can download this from the
store for your end device type.
The connection between mobile end device and measuring
tool is established after the Bosch application has started. If
multiple active measuring tools are found, select the appro-
priate measuring tool using the serial number. You can find
the serial number 15 on your measuring tool's type plate.
The connection status, as well as the active connection (f),
are shown in the display 1of the measuring tool.
Deactivating the Bluetooth®Interface
The Bluetooth® connection is deactivated in the settings. To
deactivate the Bluetooth® signal, press button 11 [–] or
switch off the measuring tool.
Working Advice
Further information can be found on the Bosch product
page.
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 18, the laser beam output 19 and the cam-
era 20 must not be covered during measurement.
The measuring tool must not be moved while taking a meas-
urement. 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 on the lighting conditions and
the reflective properties of the target surface. For better visi-
bility of the laser beam in strong extraneous light, use the in-
tegrated camera 20,the laser viewing glasses 26 (accessory)
and the laser target plate 25 (accessory) or shade the target
area.
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 25 (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 (Tilt Calibration) (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 the event of larger deviations, you have to recalibrate the
measuring tool. To do so, select in the settings. Follow
the instructions 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 measuring tool can be checked as follows:
– Select a permanently unchangeable measuring section
which is approx. 3 to 10 m long and which you know the ex-
act length of (e.g. room width, door opening). The meas-
urement should be performed under favourable condi-
tions, i.e. the measuring section should be indoors with
weak backlighting and the target area of the measurement
should be smooth and reflect well (e.g. a white-painted
wall).
–Measurethedistance10times in succession.
The deviation of the individual measurements from the aver-
age value must not exceed ±2 mm over the entire measuring
section in favourable conditions. Record the measurements
in order to be able to compare the accuracy at a later date.
Checking Accuracy and Calibrating the Target Indicator
(Viewfinder Calibration) (Crosshairs)
Check the accuracy of the alignment of the laser and target in-
dicator on a regular basis.
– Select a bright area at least 5m away with as little illumina-
tion as possible (e.g. a white wall) as the target.
– Check whether the laser point is inside the target indicator
in the display.
If the laser point is not inside the target indicator, you must re-
calibrate the target indicator.
To do so, select in the settings. Follow the instructions on
the display.
