(e.g. when measuring outdoors at intense sunlight), it may be necessary to use the target plate.
B)+0.1 mm/m (+1/32 in per 26 ft) in case of unfavorable conditions, e.g. intense sun irradiation.
Please observe the article number on the type plate of your rangefinder. The trade names of the individual rangefinders may vary.
The rangefinder can be clearly identified with the serial number 18 on the type plate.
Preparation
INSERTING/REPLACING THE BATTERY Use only
Fewer measurements are possible when using
1.2V rechargeable batteries as compared with
1.5V batteries.
To open the battery lid 17, press the latch of the battery lid 16 in the direction of the arrow and remove the battery lid. Insert the supplied batteries. When inserting, pay attention to the correct polarity according to the representation on the inside of the battery compartment.
When the battery symbol appears in the display for the first time, then at least 100 measurements are still possible. The batteries must be replaced when the battery symbol
flashes; taking measurements is no longer possible.
Always replace all batteries at the same time. Only use batteries from one brand and with the identical capacity.
•Remove the batteries from the rangefinder when not using it for extended periods. When storing for extended periods, the batteries can corrode and discharge themselves.
INSTALLING HAND STRAP
Feed string loop on end of hand strap 25 under hand strap mounting post 26 and pull out on other side. Feed hand strap 25 through string loop end and pull tight.
Operation
INITIAL OPERATION
•Protect the rangefinder against moisture and direct sun irradiation.
•Do not expose the rangefinder to extreme temperatures or variations in temperature.
Switching On and Off
To switch on the rangefinder, either press the On/Off button 13 or the measuring button 9. When switching on the rangefinder, the laser beam is not switched on yet.
To switch off the rangefinder, press the On/Off button 13.
To save the batteries, the rangefinder switches off automatically after approx. 5 minutes when no measurement is carried out.
When a measured value has been stored, it is retained in automatic
Measuring Procedure
The rangefinder offers a variety of different measuring modes that can be selected by
pushing the corresponding mode button (see “Measuring Mode”). After switching on, the rangefinder is in the “length measurement mode”.
Also, it is possible to select any of the four different reference points for the measurement by pushing the reference point button 10 (see “Selecting the Reference Point”). After switching on, the rear edge of the rangefinder is preset as the reference point.
Upon selection of the measuring mode and the reference point, all further steps are carried out by pushing the measuring button 9.
With the reference point selected, place the rangefinder against the desired measuring line (e.g. a wall).
Push the measuring button 9 to switch on the laser beam.
Do not point the laser beam ! WARNING at persons or animals and
do not look into the laser beam yourself, not even from a large distance.
