Protection rating
A) Depends on material and size of the objects, as well as material
and condition of the substrate
B) Lower detection depth with non-live wires
C) Only non-conductive deposits occur, whereby occasional tem-
porary conductivity caused by condensation is expected.
The serial number (8) on the type plate is used to clearly identify your
measuring tool.
The accuracy and detection depth of the measuring
u
result may be negatively affected if the condition of
the substrate is unfavorable.
Assembly
Inserting/Changing the Battery
It is recommended that you use alkaline manganese batter-
ies to operate the measuring tool.
To open the battery compartment cover (9), push the lock-
ing mechanism (10) in the direction of the arrow and lift the
battery compartment cover. Insert the battery.
Bosch Power Tools
When inserting the batteries, ensure that the polarity is cor-
rect according to the illustration on the inside of the battery
compartment.
Take the battery out of the measuring tool if you do
u
not intend to use the tool for a long time. When it is
stored in the measuring tool for longer periods, the bat-
tery can corrode and discharge itself.

Certain ambient conditions fundamentally impair the

splash-proof)
measuring results. These include, e.g. the proximity of
devices that generate strong electric, magnetic or
electromagnetic fields, moisture, metal building ma-
terials, foil-laminated insulation materials or conduct-
ive wallpaper or tiles. Therefore, also refer to other in-
formation sources (e.g. construction plans) before
drilling, sawing or routing into walls, ceilings or floors.
Hold the measuring tool by the intended gripping sur-
u
face (5) only, so as not to influence the measurement.
Do not attach any stickers or labels to the sensor
u
area (7) on the rear of the measuring tool. Metal labels
in particular will affect measuring results.

Do not wear gloves when taking measure-
ments and make sure that you are properly
earthed. If you are not properly earthed, the
identification of live wires may be impaired.
When taking measurements, avoid devices
that emit strong electric, magnetic or elec-
tromagnetic fields. If possible, deactivate all
tools whose radiation could interfere with the
