Safety instructions
for batteries
DANGER TO LIFE! Batteries
are not intended for children. Do not leave
batteries lying around. They could potentially
be swallowed by children or pets. In the event
a battery is swallowed seek immediate medical
attention.

batteries. Battery may overheat,
ignite or explode. Never throw batteries into
fire or water. The batteries might explode.
Avoid extreme conditions and temperatures
that could have an adverse effect on the bat-
teries, e.g. radiators. Batteries otherwise have
a higher risk of leaking.
Check the battery regularly for leaks.
Leaking or damaged batteries may
result in chemical burns upon con-
tact with the skin; always wear suit-
able safety gloves!
If fluid is leaking from the battery, avoid con-
tact with the skin, eyes and mucous membranes.
If you come into contact with corrosive battery
fluids, flush the affected area thoroughly with
clean water and seek medical advice immedi-
ately.
Remove light dirt from the battery and product
contacts with a dry, non-fluffing cloth before
inserting the batteries.

designated collection depot for special waste.
Preparing for use
Inserting/replacing the
battery
Open the battery compartment 13 on the
back of the appliance.
Remove the spent battery, if necessary.
Insert a new 9 V block battery into the battery
compartment. Check the polarity of the bat-
tery during insertion!
Ensure that the band for easy removal of the
battery lies under the 9 V block battery. Press

Note: When the battery symbol appears in the
display 2, replace the battery. With a weak
battery you may receive an inaccurate or false
measurement result.
Use
Measuring distances
1. Slide the function switch 9to the position
„DISTANCE“. The display 2is turned on.
2. Hold the appliance horizontally to the wall at
the distance you wish to measure. The ultra-
sonic - transmitter/receiver 16 must point at
the wall at a right angle. Use the vial to do
this 8: direct the appliance so that the air
bubble in the vial lies between the two marker
lines.
3. Press the READ button 6. The measured
distance appears in the display.
Note: Hold down the READ button and move
the appliance and move the appliance further
over the surface to be measured. The appli-
ance measures the distance continuously.
These are displayed in the display.
Setting the measuring unit
You can choose between the measuring units of
metre (m) and foot (‘…“).

18 GB

„Measuring distances“. As an example, „2m“
will appear on the display.
In order to set the measuring unit of foot,
proceed as described in step 1 to 3:
1. Press the MODE button 4and keep it
pressed.
2. Press the READ button 6while keeping the
MODE button pressed.
3. To set the measuring unit of foot release the
READ button first, followed by the MODE but-
ton. As an example,“6’07“” will appear on
the display if you have measured a distance
of 2 m.
4. In order to switch between the measuring
units of foot and metre once again, proceed
as described in step 1 to 3.
