dot and circle using the switch on the right side.

Measuring Distance

Distance measurement is offered either as field mountable or built-in. The field mountable version

(HH-DM) is a stand alone device. Press the key to measure distance. The build-in version (-DM) is an integral part of the thermometer. Go to the d_F or d_M display menu. Set the power switch on the distance module to the ON position. Pull the trigger for about 2 seconds. The upper display will show the distance in feet or meters. Releasing the trigger will turn off distance measurement.
