3. Measuring
Important
• Measure against a hard, even surface and make sure that the area between the meter and
the measured surface is free from obstructions to enable the most accurate readings.
• Distance can be measured from the front or back of the device or by using its fold-out reference pin.
• If you need to measure the distance to a surface which is soft, irregular or too small, place a
piece of cardboard in front of the surface.
• The laser beam may not be used to measure through glass surfaces. Reflections from such
measuring may be faulty due to reflections.
3.1 Inserting batteries
1. Press to turn on the distance meter and laser. The laser indicator will display when
the laser is on.
2. Turn on the backlight when needed. Long press until the light comes on.
3. Point the laser onto the area to be measured and press once to measure
(a short beep will be heard once the measurement has been taken).
4. The measured distance will be shown on the display.
5. If no button is pushed for 30 seconds, the laser will turn off automatically and after 3 min
the device will also turn off.
3.3 Adding or subtracting measurements
Suitable for situations requiring several measurements because of immovable obstacles.
1. Take the first reading. Select distance, area or volume. Then press to save the reading
to memory.
2. Take a second reading and press to add or subtract the previous reading.
3. The sum is shown at the bottom of the display. Press to save the reading to memory.
4. Then start again from step 2 to complete your measurements.
1. Open the battery cover on the bottom.
2. Insert two AA/LR6 alkaline batteries according to
the polarity markings in the battery compartment.
3.2 Measuring distance
Note: Always make sure that you have chosen the correct unit of measurement before measuring.
The unit of measurement is displayed on the upper right corner of the screen (see Selecting
the unit of measurement). Make sure that a reference point is chosen (see Changing reference points).
