Measuring Tool Power Supply
The measuring tool can be operated either with conventional non-rechargeable batteries or with a Bosch lithium-ion battery.
Operation with Rechargeable Battery
- Use only the chargers listed in the technical data. Only these chargers are matched to the lithium-ion battery of your measuring tool.
Note: Lithium-ion rechargeable batteries are supplied partially charged according to international transport regulations. To ensure full rechargeable battery capacity, fully charge the rechargeable battery before using your tool for the first time.
To insert the charged battery (14), slide it into the battery bay (9) until you feel it engage.
To remove the battery (14), press the release buttons (12) and pull it out of the battery bay (9). Do not use force to do this.
Operation with Non-Rechargeable Batteries
It is recommended that you use alkaline manganese batteries to operate the measuring tool.
The batteries are inserted into the battery adapter.
- The battery adapter is intended only for use in designated Bosch measuring tools and must not be used with power tools.
To insert the batteries, slide the cover (10) of the battery adapter into the battery bay (9). Place the batteries into the cover as per the illustration on the sealing cap (13). Slide the sealing cap over the cover until you feel it click into place.
To remove the batteries (11), press the release buttons (12) of the sealing cap (13) and pull off the sealing cap. Make sure that the batteries do not fall out. To do this, hold the measuring tool with the battery bay (9) facing upward. Remove the batteries. To remove the cover (10) from inside the battery bay, reach into the cover and pull it out of the measuring tool, applying light pressure to the side wall as you do so.
Always replace all the batteries at the same time. Only use batteries from the same manufacturer and which have the same capacity.
- Take the batteries out of the measuring tool when you are not using it for a prolonged period of time. The batteries can corrode and self-discharge during prolonged storage in the measuring tool.
Battery Charge Indicator
The battery charge indicator (2) shows the state of charge of the battery/batteries:
LED | State of charge |
|---|---|
Green continuous light | 100–75 % |
Yellow continuous light | 75–35 % |
Red continuous light | 35–10 % |
No light |
|
If the rechargeable battery or non-rechargeable batteries are running low, the laser lines will gradually become dimmer.
Immediately replace a faulty rechargeable battery or any empty batteries.
