Warning: Opening and modifying a Leica Disto will void the
manufacturer’s warranty and is done at your own risk!
1) Open the battery cover.
2) Remove the batteries.
3) Take out the screw near the battery case. A Torx T10
screwdriver is needed here. For some models it has
to be one with a hole (TR10)
4) Take the rubber-sleeve and slowly pull the device
out of the case.
ATTENTION:
- Do not lose the rubber seal attached to the battery
case.
- Do not stress the keypad cable.
- Protect the LCD display from scratches.
5) Unplug the keypad cable. To free the cable, carefully
move the locking slider towards the case at both
ends (Fig. 1).
6) Replace the screw above the display by a non-
magnetic one (M2.5x6). Preserve the washer in place
(Fig. 2). A Torx T7 screwdriver is needed for the
M2.5 screws.
ATTENTION: Never remove more than one screw
of the main board. Otherwise the adjustment of the
optics will be lost.
7) Solder the four short wires to the board as shown in
Fig. 3.
8) Remove the screw and the cover of the Laser diode
on the backside of the device (Fig. 4).
9) A 8mm spacer is mounted in place of them (Fig. 5).
10)Remove the cover of the adhesive tape on the
upgrade board.
11)Position the upgrade board such that the tape is on
the battery case and the screw hole is above the

spacer.
12)Bolt the board using a screw with washer (M2.5x14,
Fig. 6 & 7).
13)Solder the ends of the four wires to the
corresponding test points on the main board (Fig. 8
& 9).
14)Replug the keypad cable and restore the locking
slider to its original position.
15)Carefully push the device back into the case. Pay
attention not to damage the cables and watch for the correct position of the rubber seal on
the battery case.
16)Screw up the case. The non-magnetic M3x10 may be used instead of the original screw.
17)Reinsert the batteries and close battery cover.
The device must be calibrated before the first productive use!
