OPERATIONAL ELEMENTS
C
INSERT 3 X AAA NIMH BATTERIES
Ensure correct polarity when inserting the batteries.
CHARGE THE BATTERIES
Open the cover of the USB plug (bottom of the instrument) and charge
the battery via the USB connection. For this use a standard USB charger,
i. e. from a smart phone. When the charging process is completed close
the USB plug.
Alternatively the instrument can be operated with standard AAA Alkaline
batteries.

PYTHAGORAS MEASUREMENTS
IMPORTANT - it is essential to observe the following
· When measuring the horizontal distance (2nd dimension), the measure-
ment must be taken at a 90° angle to the measuring surface.To do this,
use the inclination indicator (0°).
· All measurements must be vertically in line (without lateral deviation).
· Use a tripod to increase the measuring accuracy.

INDIRECT MEASUREMENTS VIA INCLINATION WITH HIGH
ACCURACY
Where direct measurements to the target are not possible, e.g. on glass
facades without measurement reflection or when the measurement object
is obscured:
Measure partial distances, the device will calculate the missing distances.
Here a general note:
· All measurements must be vertically in line (without lateral deviation).
· Use a tripod to increase the accuracy of the measurement.

SAFETY NOTES E
INTENDED USE OF INSTRUMENT
The instrument emits a visible laser beam in order to carry out the following
measuring tasks (depending on the instrument): distance measurements.
SPECIFIC REASONS FOR ERRONEOUS MEASURING RESULTS
Measurements through glass or plastic windows; dirty laser emitting
windows; after the instrument has been dropped or hit. Please check the
accuracy.
Large fluctuation of temperature: If the instrument will be used in cold
areas after it has been stored in warm areas (or the other way round) please
wait some minutes before carrying out measurements.
CARE AND CLEANING
Handle measuring instruments with care. Clean with soft cloth only after
any use. If necessary damp the cloth with some water. If the instrument is
wet clean and dry it carefully. Pack it up only if it is perfectly dry. Transport in
original container / case only.
ELECTROMAGNETIC ACCEPTABILITY (EMC)
It cannot be completely excluded that this instrument will disturb other in-
struments (e.g. navigation systems); will be disturbed by other instruments
(e.g. intensive electromagnetic radiation nearby industrial facilities or radio
transmitters).
CE-Conformity
The instrument has the CE mark according to EN 61326-1:2013, 61326-2-
2:2013, 300 328 v2.1.1:2016, 62479:2010, 61010-1:2010.
