Operation with Battery Pack
(not for article number 3 601 K83 370) (see figure B)
Note: Use of battery packs not suitable for the measuring tool
can lead to malfunctions of or cause damage to the measuring
tool.
Note: The battery pack is supplied partially charged. To en-
sure full capacity of the battery pack, completely charge the
battery pack in the battery charger before using for the first
time.
 Use only the chargers listed in the technical data. Only
these battery chargers are matched to the lithium-ion bat-
tery of your measuring tool.
The lithium-ion battery pack can be charged at any time with-
out reducing its service life. Interrupting the charging proce-
dure does not damage the battery pack.
 Following the automatic shut off of the measuring tool,
do not continue to press the On/Off button. The battery
can be damaged.
To insert the charged battery pack 30, slide it into the battery
port 29 until you feel it engage and it is flush with the handle
of the measuring tool.
To remove the battery pack 30, press the unlocking buttons
3 and pull the battery pack out of the battery port 29. Do not
exert any force.

Always replace all batteries at the same time. Only use batter-
ies from one brand and with the identical capacity.
 Remove the batteries from the measuring tool when
not using it for extended periods. When storing for ex-
tended periods, the batteries can corrode and self-dis-
charge.

Operation

Initial Operation

 Keep the measuring tool dry and protect it from direct
sunlight, dust and dirt.
 Do not subject the measuring tool to extreme tempera-
tures or variations in temperature. As an example, do
not leave it in vehicles for a long time. In case of large vari-
ations in temperature, allow the measuring tool to adjust to
the ambient temperature before putting it into operation.
In case of extreme temperatures or variations in tempera-
ture, the accuracy of the measuring tool can be impaired.
 Ensure that the measuring tool is correctly acclima-
tised. In case of severe variations in temperature, the ac-
climatisation time may be up to 15 mins.
 Avoid hard knocks to the measuring tool or dropping it.
After severe external influences and in the event of abnor-
malities in the functionality, you should have the measur-
ing tool checked by an authorised Bosch after-sales ser-
vice agent.
 The measuring tool is equipped with a radio interface.
Local operating restrictions, e.g. in airplanes or hospi-
tals, are to be observed.
Switching On and Off
Take the protective cap 21 off the infrared reception lens 23
and the protective cap 19 off the humidity and ambient tem-
perature sensor 5. During work, ensure that the camera
22, reception lens 23 and sensor 5 are not closed off or
covered, otherwise correct measurement will not be pos-
sible.
To switch on the measuring tool, press the On/Off button 12
or the measure button 4. A start sequence will appear on the
display 18. After the start sequence, the measuring tool will
be in the operating mode that was saved the last time the tool
was switched off. The lasers are not yet switched on.
Only the first time the tool is started up, the "Tool" menu will
additionally appear after the start sequence. In this menu you
can define the settings of the measuring tool, such as the lan-
guage of all indications (for operation, see ""Tool" Submenu",
page 30). Confirm the selected settings by pressing the left-
hand function button 17. All settings can also be changed
subsequently in the "Tool" submenu.
 Do not leave the switched-on measuring tool unattend-
ed and switch the measuring tool off after use. Other
persons could be blinded by the laser beam.
 Do not point the laser beam at persons or animals and
do not look into the laser beam yourself, not even from
a large distance.
In the factory setting, the brightness of the display lighting is
reduced 30 s after each button press to save energy. Pressing
any button will switch the display lighting back to full strength.
You can change this lighting time in the "Light Duration"
menu (see "Light Duration", page 30).
