User Manual Intended Use English Permitted uses • • Congratulations on the purchase of your Leica DISTO™ D2. The safety instructions and the user manual should be read through carefully before you use the product for the first time. The person responsible for the product must ensure that all users understand these directions and adhere to them.

This person is also accountable for the deployment of personnel and for their training and for the safety of the equipment when in use.The person in charge of the product has the following duties: Limits of use ) Also see section "Technical data". The Leica DISTO™ is designed for use in areas permanently habitable by humans, do not use the product in explosion hazardous areas or in aggressive environments.
Display Target Surfaces CAUTION: Measuring errors can occur when measuring toward colourless liquids (e.g. water) or dust free glass, Styrofoam or similar semi-permeable surfaces. Aiming at high gloss surfaces may deflect the laserbeam and lead to measurement errors. Hazards of Use CAUTION: Watch out for erroneous distance measurements if the instrument is defective or if it has been dropped or has been misused or modified. Only use alkaline batteries.
D GB F I E P NL CN abnormal use, and before, during and after important measurements. Make sure the Leica DISTO™ optic is kept clean and that there is no mechanical damage to the bumpers. Setting the instrument Press long until the desired unit is displayed. Possible units: CAUTION: In using the instrument for distance measurements or for positioning moving objects (e.g. cranes, building equipment, platforms, etc.) unforeseen events may cause erroneous measurements. 1. 2. 3. 4.
the stop bracket with a little force to the right side; the stop bracket can now be completely unfolded. See drawing {E}. The result is displayed immediately. D GB Continuous measurement CAUTION: Make sure that when measuring from the unfolded endpiece, the measuring reference is set to "End piece"! Distances can be measured with this function 1x long: a "beep" is sounded.A continuous measurement is started. F 1x briefly: the next measurement is taken from the front edge.
GB F I E P The result of the second area measurement, "+" flashes. 1x briefly: confirms the addition; the added area results are displayed in the summary row. 1x briefly: the next measurement is subtracted from the previous one. D Repeat this procedure for as many times as required. The result is displayed in the summary row, the previously measured value is displayed in intermediate line 2, the value to be added in intermediate line 1. 1x briefly: the last step is cancelled.
• • • measuring a distance, maximum or minimum continuous measuring is activated. All target points must be vertical or horizontal on the surface of the wall. The best results are achieved when the intrument is rotated around a fixed point (e.g. the stop bracket is fully extended and the instrument is placed against a wall). To take the measurement, the minimum/ maximum function can be called up.
D GB F I E P NL CN Using stored values in functions value 1.000 m). This value can be adjusted to the desired stake out distance. The value is increased. Using added distances in area functions (e.g. wall surfaces or painters): Adding distances (see additions / subtractions) Call up area function to e.g. measure the height of a room. The value is reduced. Holding the button down accelerates the speed at which the value changes. 1x briefly: starts continuous measurement.
Switching off the beep 258 Press and hold simultaneously for 5 seconds: Cause Correction Outside of the range Select measurement of measurement distance within the range of measurement Error Cause Error Hardware error The beep is switched off. To reactivate it, press and hold for 5 seconds. Appendix Correction Should this message remain active after switching the instrument off and on several times, please contact the dealerhip. Display Notices All display notices are either displayed with "Error".
D GB F I E Temperature range: Storage Operation Laser classification -25°C to +70°C 0°C to +40°C * Use a target plate to increase the measurement range during daylight or if the target has poor reflection properties! ** in favourable conditions (good target surface properties, room temperature) up to 10 m. In unfavourable conditions, such as intense sunshine, poorly reflecting target surface or high temperature variations, the deviation over distances above 10 m can increase by ± 0.15 mm/m.
