2. Crosshairs.
3. Distance tracking value.
4. Zoom step (1x, 2x).

The device has an integral digital pointfinder, which shows the target directly on the display. The displayed crosshairs allow precise measurements to be made even though the laser beam is not visible.

The integral coloured digital pointfinder is a great help outdoors and can be used in every function. Longer distances and precise measurements on detailed surfaces can even be accomplished in bright sunlight without any problem.

Parallax errors occur when the digital pointfinder is used on close  targets, the laser dot may appear displaced in the crosshair. In this case you should rely on the actual laser dot for targeting the object.

11. Tilt measurement 1:Direct vertical distance
    Notice:
    * The inclination sensor measures tilts between ± 90°
    _* the device is used with section ±0.5°
    
    1. hypotenuse
    2. bertical edge_
    The inclination sensor measures tilts between +/-90°，The infocode i 271 means that the device has been set outside the permissible limits.press the key four times-the angle symbol appears in the display.press the to measure the inclination and distance.

12. Stake out function
    
    Two different distances (a and b) can be entered into the instrument and can then be used to mark off defined measured lengths.
    Press this button six times and the stake out function symbol appears in the display.by using and , you can adjust the values (first a and then b) to suit the desired stake out distances. Holding the buttons down increases the rate of change of the values. Once the desired value (a)has been reached it can be confirmed with the button. Value (b) can be entered using and . The defined value (b) is confirmed with the button. Pressing the button starts the laser measurement. The display shows required stake out distance in the summary line between the stake out oint (first a and then b) and the instrument (rear reference). The arrows in the display  indicate in which direction theE series needs to be moved in order to achieve the defined distance(either a or b). As soon as the staking out point is reached, the symbol appears in the display.
    Press **the key to return last function or stop measurement.
