Assembly
Button Cell Operation: The worklight includes a button cell (12) to allow detection by mobile devices even when the main battery is not inserted. Before first use, remove the separating film between the button cell and its contact. To access, turn the battery compartment cover (11) counter-clockwise with a screwdriver.

Battery Charging: Use only the chargers listed in the technical data. The lithium-ion battery is protected against deep discharge by Electronic Cell Protection (ECP).
Operation
Setup: Place the worklight on a stable, level surface. The safety brackets (3) protect the light (1) if the unit is accidentally knocked over. You can also mount the light on a tripod using the tripod mount (9).
Brightness Settings: Use the on/off switch (7) to cycle through brightness levels:
- Press once: Level 1 (dimmed, 1000 lm)
- Press twice: Level 2 (dimmed, 2000 lm)
- Press three times: Level 3 (full brightness, 4000 lm)
- Press four times: Switch off
If the light has been on for approx. 5 minutes, the next press will switch it off immediately.
Bluetooth Control
The worklight features a Bluetooth module for wireless control via the Bosch Toolbox app. Once connected and authorized, you can use remote control, timer functions, group multiple lights, and check status/warnings.
Maintenance and Troubleshooting
The worklight is maintenance-free. Clean the glass only with a dry, soft cloth. If the Bluetooth connection fails, remove the button cell (12) and battery (8) for 10 seconds to reset. If the worklight does not turn on after wireless charging, remove the battery (8) for 10 seconds to re-initialize.
