Bosch instruction manual for dlr130 distance measurer

Question edited for 'make model (what it is)'.
Question moved from Drills to model category.

Is it new and under warranty?
You say it works, but is doesn't turn on. It can't be both. Details say that once you turn it on, you have to press another button to make it work. Presumably to make sure you don't get the laser in the eye or someone else's eye.
Secondhand and battery worn out?

Hi,

Please make sure that your laser-distance measure is charged properly to start. View it's screen for any listed error codes that could give us a clue to watch the issue is. If the error code hints at restarting the device, then we can move in that direction. If the error isn't revealed from perusing any troubleshooting documentation that comes with your device, then you can reach out to Bosch for repair/replacement help.

Thank you.

I found the manual here;

Same problem Err and --- on display. The front lens had become misaligned. Take off front rubber boot, clean lens and replace lens exactly in glue pattern on unit with rounded side facing out. Then holding unit with seated lens upright push rubber boot slowly back on. Very hard at first but push as much in by hand then use a narrow blunt point like the back of a screwdriver handle to press around the edge working it in with slow continuous pressure a quarter inch at a time. It will reseat just take your time and work the high spots. This time was not the batteries, works like new.

1) There is a big difference between Bosch promo manual and Bosch operation manual:

2) Online promo manual says: Combined Indirect/Pythagoras for measuring total height from a distance
http://www.boschtools.com/AboutBoschTools/RequestProductLiterature/Documents/2010%20Catalog%20PDF/2010%20Measuring%20Tools.pdf

3) Online operation manual shows no instructions for Pythagoras measuring.
And shows no button for displaying E value or height.

4) Operation manual shows:
Length Measurement** and tells you to measure the height while promo says tool will calculate height E
Area Measurement*** shows rectangle only and not triangle
Volume Measurement
Area or Volume
Rounding of Large Calculations
Continuous Measurement (Tracking)

5) I would contact Bosch directly:

6) Until you get satisfaction from Bosch, the Bosch device gives precise menasurements that can be entered into a Pythagorean calculator online, which defeats the purpose of a jobsite tool: But you can access online calculator via cell phone while on jobsite.

northerntool.com has a few wheel meters that roll along the ground and will give you a fairly close measurement. or you can use the string method where you take a string and stretch it as close to a straight line as possible then mark it then get it out to where you can measure the string.

you can obtain the instruction manual for this directly from the bosch web site free of charge if it is not listed there try the BSH Home appliances ltd site they are the manufacturers repair service in the UK
