Depending on on-site conditions (obstacles, sunlight, etc.) and your smartphone / tablet, it is possible to maintain a connection between your smartphone / tablet and the measuring tool from 10 to approximately 30 meters.

Please check in the settings on your iPhone / iPad whether the Bluetooth® permission for MeasureOn has been granted, which is a prerequisite for a successful connection. Go to “Settings” → “MeasureOn” → Enable Bluetooth.

It is also important that the connection is established directly in the MeasureOn app and not in the settings of your smartphone/tablet. If you have connected your laser range finder in the settings of your smart phone / tablet, please disconnect it there and connect it directly in MeasureOn.

If you are still having problems with the connection, please contact us at Support.MeasureOn@bosch.com.
