Information regarding
inaccurate measurement
results
Please note that inaccurate measurement
results can be obtained under certain condi-
tions. The following conditions can cause
inaccurate measurement results:
– very thick walls
– weak battery
– deep-lying wires or pipes
– shielded AC wires
– thick walls with thin pipes or wires
– metal-clad walls
– very damp conditions
Using this appliance you cannot detect wires
in an electric circuit
– that are insulated from the mains power
supply.
– that have a direct current flowing through
them.
– that are used for computer or telecommuni-
cation systems.
This appliance is only suitable for detecting
metal pipes. You cannot detect pipes made

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.
EXPLOSION HAZARD! Never
recharge, short-circuit and/or open
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.

16 GB/IE

to be used for an extended period.
When inserting the battery ensure the correct
polarity! This is shown inside the battery com-
partment. Otherwise the battery can explode.
Insert the battery with care. Otherwise the
product can be damaged.
Please do not dispose of used batteries in
your household waste but take them to a
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
the battery firmly into battery compartment.
Close the battery compartment again. The
battery compartment lid locks noticeably and
audibly into place.

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/IE
Measure a distance as described in the section
„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.
Addition of distances
With the appliance you can add the measured
distances together:
1. Measure the first distance as described in the
section „Measuring distances“.
2. Press the +/= button 12 . The message „+“
appears in the display 2and the measured
distance in the row below.
3. Measure the next distance. The new distance
measured is shown in the upper row of the
display.

19GB/IE
4. Press the +/= button again. The new meas-
urement is added to the old in the lower row.
5. Repeat steps 3 to 4 to add further measure-
ments.

row of the display. The results of the surface
area calculation appear in the lower row.
Addition of surface areas
1. Measure an area as described in the section
„Measuring surface areas“.
2. Press the M button 7. The message „M+“
appears in the display 2. The measured
surface area is saved.
