Long range Mode (
)
Unfavourable conditions (strong sunlight or a very weak reflective target surface) may reduce the range of the device, in spite of this the long range mode allows you to take measurements over longer distances. The use of
a tripod and measurement initiation by pressing the 
key are recom- mended when measurements over 30m are made over longer time periods in these conditions. (For details see Technical specifications)
)The settings are reset when the device is switched off.
Measuring with the tripod (
)
The reference point may be adjusted to the tripod mount if the user requires a measurement from the actual mounting grommit versus the
front or back of the DISTO™. To do this select the symbol in this menu item. You can switch the reference on the tripod on or off. The
setting can be seen on the display | . |
)We recommend that measurements are initiated using the 
key when using the device on a tripod in order to prevent loss of sharpness.
)The settings are reset when the device is switched off.
Beep (

You can switch the beep on or off.
