POWER SUPPLY

INSERT 3 X AAA NIMH BATTERIES

Qeo GeoDist 60 Green Laser Distance Meter - BATTERIES

Ensure correct polarity when inserting the batteries.

CHARGE THE BATTERIES
Open the cover of the USB plug (bottom of the instrument) and charge the battery via the USB connection. For this use a standard USB charger, i. e. from a smartphone. When the charging process is completed close the USB plug.
Alternatively, the instrument can be operated with standard AAA Alkaline batteries.

PYTHAGORAS MEASUREMENTS
IMPORTANT – it is essential to observe the following

When measuring the horizontal distance (2nd dimension), the measurement must be taken at a 90° angle to the measuring surface. To do this, use the inclination indicator (0°).
All measurements must be vertically in line (without lateral deviation).
Use a tripod to increase the measuring accuracy.

INDIRECT MEASUREMENTS VIA INCLINATION WITH HIGH ACCURACY
Where direct measurements to the target are not possible, e.g. on glass facades without measurement reflection or when the measurement object is obscured:
Measure partial distances, the device will calculate the missing distances.

Here a general note:

All measurements must be vertically in line (without lateral deviation).
Use a tripod to increase the accuracy of the measurement.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Code	Cause	Corrective action
204	Calculation error	Repeat the measurement
208	Excessive current	Contact your dealer
220	Battery weak	Charge the battery
255	Signal too weak or measuring time too long	Change the target surface
256	Signal too strong	Change the target surface
261	Out of measuring range	Select the measuring distance within the range
500	Hardware error	Power on/off the unit severaltimes.

If the error code still appears contact your dealer.

SAFETY NOTES

INTENDED USE OF INSTRUMENT
The instrument emits a visible laser beam in order to carry out the following measuring tasks (depending on the instrument): distance measurements.
SPECIFIC REASONS FOR ERRONEOUS MEASURING RESULTS
Measurements through glass or plastic windows; dirty laser emitting windows; after the instrument has been dropped or hit. Please check the accuracy.
Large fluctuation of temperature: If the instrument will be used in cold areas after it has been stored in warm areas (or the other way round) please wait some minutes before carrying out measurements.
