Aim the laser beam at the target surface. Push
the measuring button 9again to initiate the
measurement.
In the continuous measurement mode and
continuous laser beam mode, the
measurement already starts upon first
actuation of the measuring button 9.
The measured value appears after 0.5 to 4
seconds. The duration of the measurement
depends on the distance, the light conditions
and the reflection properties of the target
surface. The end of the measurement is
indicated by a signal tone. The laser beam is
switched off automatically upon completion of
the measurement.
When no measurement has taken place
approx. 20 seconds after sighting, the laser
beam is switched off automatically to save the
batteries.
Selecting the Reference Point
(see figures A–D)
For measuring, it is possible to select from four
different reference points:
•The rear edge of the rangefinder (e.g., when
placing the rangefinder flush against a wall),
•The rear edge of the extension pin 14 (e.g.,
for measurements out of corners).
•The front edge of the rangefinder (e.g., as
when measuring from the edge of a table
onward),
•The center of the 1/4” threaded hole 21 (e.g.,
is for measuring with the tripod).
To select the reference point, push button 10
repeatedly until the required reference point is
indicated in the display. Each time after
switching on, the rear edge of the rangefinder
is preset as the reference point.
Changing the Unit of Measure
The unit of measure can be changed any time
for display of the measured values, even for
already measured or calculated values.
The three units of
measure shown left are
available for display
of current length
measurements.
Area and volume values
as well as stored measured values can only be
displayed in “ft” or “m”.
To change the unit of measure, push button 12
until a new unit of measure is displayed.
The unit-of-measure setting is retained when
switching the rangefinder on or off.
Continuous Laser Beam
If required, the rangefinder can be set so that
the laser beam stays on in between
measurements. For this, briefly push button
12.The indication “LASER” lights up
continuously in the display.
Do not point the laser beam
at persons or animals and
do not look into the laser beam yourself,
not even from a large distance.
In this setting, the laser beam also remains
switched on between measurements; to take a
measurement, it is only required to push the
measuring button 9once.
To switch off the continuous laser beam, briefly
push button 12 again or switch the rangefinder
off. When switching on again, the rangefinder
is in normal operation; the laser beam only
appears when pushing the measuring
button 9.
MEASURING MODES
Length Measurement
For length measurements, push button 4
until the indicator for length measurement
appears in the display.
Push the measuring
button 9once for sighting
and once more to take
the measurement.
The measured value is
indicated at the bottom in
the display.
Area Measurement
For area measurements, push button 5until
the indicator for area measurement appears
in the display.
Afterwards, measure the
length and the width, one
after another, in the same
manner as a length
measurement. The laser
beam remains switched
on between both measurements.
After taking the second measurement, the
area/surface is automatically calculated and
displayed. The last individual measured value
is indicated at the bottom in the display, while
the final result is shown at the top.
