To replace the battery, first switch off the meter and remove the earthing cable from the meter. Then open the battery compartment and replace the battery with a new 9 V block battery. Then close the battery compartment. The measurement can be resumed.
Switching on and off
To switch the meter on and off, press the on/off switch. The measurement is made after a few seconds. To switch the meter off again, press the on/off switch again.
Backlight
When the meter is switched on, the backlight is activated. To switch off the backlight, press and hold the “ECO” key for two seconds. To switch the backlight back on, press and hold the “ECO” key again for two seconds.
Making a measurement
To make a measurement, first connect the earthing cable to the meter and to an earthed conductor. Then switch on the meter. The measurement will start after a short time. Point the measuring device at the object to be measured. You have reached the correct distance as soon as the lasers cross. Now you can read the measured value.
Zeroing
To zero the meter, first ground it with the earthing cable. Then switch on the
meter and wait until the reading has stabilized. Then press the zero key to
set the displayed reading to zero.
NOTE: Make sure that there is no static charge on the sensor side. This
can influence zeroing.

Disposal
For the disposal of batteries in the EU, the 2006/66/EC directive of the
European Parliament applies. Due to the contained pollutants, batteries must
not be disposed of as household waste. They must be given to collection points
designed for that purpose.
In order to comply with the EU directive 2012/19/EU we take our devices back.
We either reuse them or give them to a recycling company which disposes of the
devices in line with law.
For countries outside the EU, batteries and devices should be disposed of in
accordance with your local waste regulations.
If you have any questions, please contact PCE Instruments.
