  2. Using your finger, gently pull the port cover up (Figure C 1 ).
  3. Insert the small end of the USB Recharge Cable into the port on the bottom of the tool, making sure to insert the flat side of the cable into the flat side of the port (Figure C 2 ).
  4. Insert the USB end of the cable into a USB port in a computer or USB power outlet (Figure C 3 ).
  5. Wait approximately 2.5 hours for the battery to fully charge and then disconnect the USB Recharge Cable. When the tool is ON, the battery level appears in the display window (Figure D 1 ).

Using the Tool

  1. Point the laser at the top of the tool (Figure A 1 ) toward the wall whose distance you need to measure (Figure E 1 ).
  2. Click (Figure A 3 ) to turn the tool on and display a laser dot on the wall (Figure E 1 ).
  3. When the bottom of the tool is positioned at the correct distance from the wall, click to take the measurement (Figure E 2 ).
  4. View the measurement on the display window (Figure D 3 ).

Changing the Unit of Measure
Once the current measurement is taken, you can change the unit of measure from decimal ft (6.21 ft) to fractional ft (6’02″9/16), fractional ft to meters (1.894 m), meters to inches (749/16 in), or inches to decimal ft.
To change the unit of measurement, press and hold until you see the measurement change (3 seconds).
NOTE: If you continue to hold after the measurement changes, the tool will turn off.
Re-measuring

  1. When you need to take a new measurement, point the laser toward the wall whose distance you need to measure.
  2. Click .
  • The previous measurement (Figure D 3 ) will be cleared from the display window.
