*1) When EDM is working, the " " mark appears in the display.
*2) To change mode from Fine to Coarse or Tracking, refer to section 4.5 “Fine Mode/Tracking Mode/

*4) Measurement may repeat automatically in the instrument if the result is affected by shimmer etc..
*5) To return to the normal measuring angle mode from a distance measuring mode, press the [ANG] key.
*6) It is possible to choose the display order (HR, HD, VD) or (V, HR, SD) for initial measuring distance
