INITIAL OPERATION
• Protect the measuring tool
against moisture and direct
sun irradiation.
• Do not expose the
measuring tool to extreme
temperatures or variations in
temperature. As an example,
do not leave it in vehicles for
longer periods. In case of large
variations in temperature, allow
the measuring tool to adjust to
the ambient temperature before
putting it into operation. In case
of extreme temperature or
variations in temperature, the
accuracy of the measuring tool
can be impaired.
• Avoid heavy impact to or
dropping the measuring tool.
After severe exterior effects to
the measuring tool, it is
recommended to carry out an
accuracy check (see “Accuracy
Check and Calibration of the
Grade Measurement” and
“Accuracy Check of the
Distance Measurement” on
page 29) each time before
continuing work.
Switching On and Off
For switching on the measuring
tool, the following possibilities are
given:
- Pressing the On/Off button 8:
The measuring tool is switched
on and in length measurement

When the angle is not changed for
approx. 5 minutes when in the
“Grade measurement” operating
mode, the measuring tool
