Electromagnetic radiation
Electromagnetic radiation can cause disturbances in other equipment.
Precautions:
▶
Although the product meets the strict regulations and standards which are in force
in this respect, STABILA cannot completely exclude the possibility that other equip-
ment may be disturbed.
▶
The product is a class A product when operated with the internal batteries. In a

NOTICE
Dropping, misusing, modifying, storing the product for long periods or transport-
ing the product
Watch out for erroneous measurement results.
Precautions:
▶
Periodically carry out test measurements, particularly after the product has been
subjected to abnormal use and before and after important measurements.
11 Safety Directions
NOTICE
Target surfaces
Measuring errors and increase of measuring time can occur.
Precautions:
▶
Keep in mind that measuring errors can occur when measuring to colourless liquids,
glass, styrofoam or permeable surfaces or when aiming at high gloss surfaces.
▶
Against dark surfaces the measuring time increases.
1.6 Laser Classication
The laser LED built into the product produces a visible laser beam which emerges from
the front side.
The laser product described in this section is classied as laser class 2 in accordance
with:
•
IEC 60825-1 (2014-05): “Safety of laser products”
These products are safe for momentary exposures but can be hazardous for deliberate
staring into the beam. The beam may cause dazzle, ash-blindness and after-images,
particularly under low ambient light conditions.
General
12 Safety Directions
CAUTION
Class 2 laser product
From a safety perspective, class 2 laser products are not inherently safe for the eyes.
Precautions:
▶
Avoid staring into the beam or viewing it through optical instruments.
▶
Avoid pointing the beam at other people or at animals.
▶
Pay particular attention to the direction of the laser beam when remotely operating
the product by an app or software. A measurement could be triggered at any time.
▶
If laser radiation hits your eye, you must close your eyes and immediately turn your
head away from the beam.

3 Instrument Setup
Charge the battery before using it for the rst time.
☞
Use the original charging cable only.
Plug the small end of the cable into the port of the device, and plug the end of the
charger into an electrical socket. Select the appropriate connector for your country. The
device can be used while charging.
Using the computer for charging the device is possible if the USB port is providing suf-
cient power. We therefore recommend the use of a USB charging device with 5 V/1 A.
Charging the Li-Ion
battery by USB
17 Instrument Setup
•
The battery must be charged before using it the rst time, because it is delivered
with an energy content as low as possible.
•
The permissible temperature range for charging is from 5 °C to +40 °C/+41 °F
to +104 °F. For optimal charging, we recommend charging the batteries at a low
ambient temperature of +10 °C to +20 °C/+50 °F to +68 °F if possible
•
It is normal for the battery to become warm during charging. Using the chargers
recommended by STABILA, it is not possible to charge the battery once the temper-
ature is too high
•
For new batteries or batteries that have been stored for a long time (> three
months), it is effectual to make a discharge/charge cycle
•
For Li-Ion batteries, a single discharge/charge cycle is sufcient. We recommend
carrying out the process when the battery capacity indicated on the charger or on a
STABILA product deviates signicantly from the actual battery capacity available.
CAUTION
The device shows the message code 298
Internal diagnostics indicate a possible swell of the Li‑Ion battery.
Precautions:
▶
Switch off and stop using the device.
▶
Replace the battery before using the device again.
18 Instrument Setup
Device is turned ON.
Device is turned OFF.
☞
If the device does not react anymore or cannot be switched OFF, press and
hold the "C/OFF" key for about 10 s. After releasing the button, the device
restarts.

Refer to BLUETOOTH SETTINGS for details.
When connected to an iOS device, press + or − key for 1 second to let the
keyboard appear on the display of your mobile device. Pressing one of those
keys again closes the keyboard.
Bluetooth switches off as soon as the laser distance meter is switched off.
The LD 530 BT is compatible to smartphone, tablet or laptop devices using Bluetooth 4.0
or higher. The number of possible measurements with only one battery charge is hardly
affected due to the Low Energy technology.
Following software and app are available from STABILA. They extend the possibilities

This feature is a great help for outdoor measuring. The integrated pointnder (view

crosshair, even if the laser dot is not visible.
☞
Parallax errors occur when the pointnder camera is used on close targets, with
the effect that the laser appears displaced in the crosshair. In this case, the
error is automatically corrected with a shift of the crosshair.
