Operation with Non-Rechargeable Batteries/Rechargeable Batteries (see figure B)

Using alkali-manganese non-rechargeable batteries or NiMH rechargeable batteries is recommended for operation of the measuring tool.

The non-rechargeable or rechargeable batteries are inserted into the battery adapter.

The battery adapter is intended only for use in designated Bosch measuring tools and must not be used with power tools.

Rotate the cap (18) of the battery adapter anticlockwise and remove the cap. Put the non-rechargeable or rechargeable batteries into the battery adapter (17). Make sure that the polarity is correct and corresponds to the marking on the battery adapter.

Always replace all the batteries at the same time. Only use batteries from the same manufacturer and which have the same capacity.

Place the cap (18) back on the battery adapter. Pay attention to the markings on cap and battery adapter. Turn the cap clockwise to lock it in place.

To insert the battery adapter (17), push it into the battery bay (16) until you feel it engage.

To remove the battery adapter (17), press the release buttons (14) and pull the battery adapter out of the battery bay (16).

Take the batteries out of the measuring tool when you are not using it for a prolonged period of time. The batteries can corrode during prolonged storage in the measuring tool.
