f Before switching the measuring tool on, make sure that
the sensor area 9 is not moist. If required, dry the measur-
ing tool using a soft cloth.
f Do not subject the measuring tool to extreme tempera-
tures or variations in temperature. As an example, do not
leave it in vehicles for longer periods. In case of large varia-
tions in temperature, allow the measuring tool to adjust to
the ambient temperature before putting it into operation.

matically be in the respective detection function.
When switching the measuring tool on with the “on/off” button
7 or with the “ZOOM” button 4, it will be in the detection func-
tion last used.
After a brief self-check, the measuring tool is ready for opera-

behind the “AutoCal” calibration indicator g.
To switch the measuring tool off, press the On/Off button 7.
If none of the measuring tool buttons are pressed for approx.
5 minutes, the measuring tool switches off automatically in

f Before drilling, sawing or routing into a wall, protect your-
self against hazards by using other information sources.
As the measuring results can be influenced through ambient
conditions or the wall material, there may be a hazard even
though the indicator does not indicate an object in the sen-
sor range (no audio signal or beep and and the illuminated
ring 1 lit green).
