Measuring reference

GB When you select the menu function RESET ("rESET" will blink in the display) and press the EQUAL-key {A, 5} twice the device will default to factory settings.

CAUTION: Any customized presettings as well as stored values will be deleted.

Operation

Switching On/Off

ON: Press ON - key {A, 1} briefly. Battery indication is displayed until the next keystroke.

OFF: Press and hold OFF - key {A, 9}. To maximize battery life the laser beam will switch off after 3 minutes of inactivity, the device will automatically switch off after 6 minutes of inacti- vity.

CLEAR key

Pushing the CLEAR - key {A, 9} clears the last entry or measurement. Within a function (area, volume, etc.) single measurements can be deleted step by step and remeasured.

Illumination

Pressing the ILLUMINATION - key {A, 11} turns on/ off the display backlight.

If the positioning bracket is folded out, the device recognizes the position, adapts the reference and calculates distances accordingly.

The default reference setting is from the rear of the instrument. By pressing the REFERENCE - key {A, 8}, the setting can be changed, so that the next measurement taken will be from the "front" of the in-stru- ment. Afterwards the reference setting automatically defaults back to rear. See picture {G}.

You can choose the "front" reference permanently by pressing the REFERENCE - key {A, 8} longer. Press the REFERENCE - key {A, 8} longer another time to change back to the "rear" reference.
