Operating instructions

Below is a step-by-step guide on how to use the product and any special considerations during use.

First use
Before the ﬁrst use, there are a few things to keep in mind and actions to be taken before you can use the product.

Turn the device over and remove the battery compartment cover, then insert the two supplied AAA batteries correctly and close the battery compartment again.
Press and hold the “ON” button to turn on the device. There will be a short beep, and the laser distance meter will be activated.
To turn off the device, press and hold the “Clear / Off” button for a few seconds.
Upon activation, the device always starts in standard length measurement mode, using the back of the device as the reference level. For more information, see section 3.2 Reference level.
You can switch to other measurement modes by pressing the appropriate button. For instructions on using speciﬁc measurement modes, refer to the manual.
The duration of the measurement depends on various factors such as distance, lighting conditions, and the reﬂective properties of the target surface.
If no button is pressed for approximately 45 seconds, the device will automatically turn off to save battery power.

Reference level
For each measurement, you can choose between two reference levels, the back of the device and the front of the device. If the reference level is set to the back, the length of the device is automatically included in the calculation. To change the reference level, press the “Reference Level” button located on the lower left of the device. The currently selected reference level is always visible on the display and is indicated by an arrow.

Standard length measurement
To perform a standard length measurement, press the red “ON” button once to activate the laser. Once the laser is activated, you can take a measurement by pressing the red “ON” button brieﬂy again. The measured value will be displayed on the screen in the set unit of length.
For taking multiple consecutive measurements, use the same button. The most recent result will be displayed prominently, and earlier results will shift up by one line (up to a maximum of four lines). To return to standard length measurement from other modes, press the “Clear / Off” button several times until only one result line is visible. You can add or subtract measured values using the “+” and “-” buttons. To add two measurements, measure the ﬁrst distance as described earlier. Then press the “+” button and measure the next distance. The two measurements will appear on the screen, with the result shown below the line. To subtract measurements, use the “-” button instead of the “+” button. After ﬁfteen seconds of inactivity, the laser will automatically enter standby mode. Use the “ON” button to reactivate the laser.

Area measurement
For an area measurement, press the “Area Measurement” button. The indicator for area measurement will appear on the screen. Measure the length and width in the same way as the standard length measurement. The current side to be measured is indicated by a ﬂashing line. After taking the second measurement, the device automatically calculates the area. The result, including the individual sides, is displayed on the screen.

Volume measurement
To take a volume measurement, press the “Area Measurement” button until the indicator for volume measurement appears on the screen. Measure the length, width, and height in the same way as the standard length measurement. The current side to be measured is indicated by a ﬂashing line. After the third measurement, the device automatically calculates the volume. The result, including the individual sides, is displayed on the screen. If the total value exceeds 99999 cubic meters, “ERROR” will be displayed on the screen. For spaces larger than 99999 cubic meters, divide the measurements and calculate them separately.

Continuous measurement
In continuous measurement mode, the device can be moved, and the value is updated every 0.5 seconds. To start a continuous measurement, press and hold the “ON” button until the “MIN-MAX” indicator appears on the screen. To stop the continuous measurement, press the “ON” button again. In continuous measurement mode, the current distance is displayed on the bottom result line. “MIN” and “MAX” respectively indicate the shortest and longest measured distances relative to the target. The values are always overwritten when the measurement exceeds the previous minimum or maximum. After ﬁve minutes, the continuous measurement automatically ends, and the last measured value remains displayed on the bottom result line.

Indirect distance measurement (Relative)
Indirect distance measurement can be used to measure distances where the laser does not have a direct line to the target surface or if the target surface is not suitable for measurement. These measurements use the Pythagorean theorem. Inaccurate individual measurements will affect the ﬁnal result.

Indirect height measurement
Press the “Indirect Distance Measurement” button until the correct indicator is visible on the screen. The current side to be measured is indicated by a ﬂashing line. Measure the sides as indicated on the screen. The result, including the individual sides, is displayed on the screen.
When measuring the two values, position the device at the same height as the lowest measurement point.

Double indirect height measurement
Press the “Indirect Distance Measurement” button until the correct indicator is visible on the screen. The current side to be measured is indicated by a ﬂashing line. Measure the sides as indicated on the screen. The result, including the individual sides, is displayed on the screen.
Keep the reference level of the measurement the same for all individual measurements within a measurement series.

Indirect length measurement
Press the “Indirect Distance Measurement” button until the correct indicator is visible on the screen. The current side to be measured is indicated by a ﬂashing line. Measure the sides as indicated on the screen. The result, including the individual sides, is displayed on the screen.
Ensure that the device is at the same height as the desired measurement point.

Angle measurement
Press the “Indirect Distance Measurement” button until the correct indicator is visible on the screen. The current side to be measured is indicated by a ﬂashing line. Measure the sides as indicated on the screen. The result, including the individual sides, is displayed on the screen.

Settings

Below is a brief overview of the various settings. It is possible to view stored measurements, change the measurement units, and adjust the display backlight.

Saved measurements
The device automatically stores the last twenty measurements, regardless of which mode was used at the time of the measurement. Press the “Saved Measurements” button to access the last measured values. Use the “+” and “-” buttons to navigate the results. To exit the list of stored measurements, use the “Clear / Off” button. The values are displayed in reverse order, with the most recent measurements shown ﬁrst.

Change units
The displayed measurement units can be changed, and you can choose between meters, feet, or inches. To change the measurement units, press the “Units” button until the desired unit appears on the screen.

Display back light
To turn off the display backlight, press and hold the “Reference Level” button for one second. To turn the display backlight back on, press the same button again for one second.
