Lithium-ion Polymer Batteries

This measuring tool is powered by a built-in 3.7V 850mAh lithium-ion battery

which cannot be removed. As an improved version of ordinary lithium-ion

batteries, Li-ion polymer batteries are rechargeable batteries that use

colloidal or solid polymers instead of liquid organic solvents, having a great

improvement in life extension, energy density, safety, and charging speed.

This measuring tool has its own charging circuit with clear Battery Low

Indicator and Charge Indicator.

Battery charging: Please use a good-quality charging head,output: DC5V 1A

, it is recommended to use the charging head of mobile phone.

After the battery has been used for a period of time, the capacity is reduced

and the power is insufficient, so the tool can’t be turned on normally, or after

the tool is turned on, the battery symbol is blank or flashes, at this time

please charge the battery in time.

When charging the measuring tool with USB line, bars in the battery symbol

will scroll. When fully charged, it will display and flashes.

Battery maintenance: Before storing it for longer periods without using,

please fully charge the tool firstly and recharge it once half a year to avoid

battery damage.

Switching on & Menu Settings

Switching On and Off

For switching on the measuring tool, the following possibilities are given:

–

●

Unit switching

Switching on the measuring tool, its unit is 0.000m. Press the button for

seconds to enter into the Unit Switching status. Then you can switch the

current unit of measurement and there are 6 units of measurement for

selection.

Units of measurement:

Selecting the Reference Level

As a laser measure, in measuring, you can select between two different

reference planes for this laser&wheel tape measure:

–

To select the reference level, see the reference level symbol which is

indicated on the LCD, and press the button once a time to choose the

reference level you need. Each time after switching on the measuring tool,

the rear end of the measuring tool is preset as the reference level.

Switching on/off the Backlight of LCD Screen

The backlight of this laser tape measure turns on/off automatically in using.

Press any button, the backlight turns on, and it will stay turned on for 15

seconds. When no more button is pressed for approx. 15 seconds, the

backlight automatically switches off to save the batteries.

Mute Button

The laser tape measure has the function of audio indication. Users can turn

on/off the audio indication by pressing the mute button as required. Each

time after switching on the measuring tool, the audio indication is preset as

switched on, you need to press the button for seconds to switch off the

audio indication. For switching on the audio indication, press the same button

for seconds.

Re-calibration

To ensure the accuracy of the instrument, this product provides the

re-calibration function.

Step 1: When this measuring device turned off, press and hold the button

, and then press the button once - keep pressing the button at

this time until there is “CRL” on LCD screen, indicating that it enters

re-calibration mode, and a flashing number appears at the bottom of the

“CRL”.

Step 2: And then you can calibrate your values from -9 ~ 9mm by pressing

the button and .for substracting and for adding.

For example:

If the measured value of the this laser tape meausre is 3.778m, 2mm less

than the actual value, you can enter the re-calibration mode, and use the

button to increase the calibration value by 2mm on the existing basis.

If the measured value is 3.783m, which is 3mm larger than the actual value,

you can enter the calibration mode, and use button to reduce the

calibration value by 3mm on the existing basis.

After adjustment, press the button to save the calibrated results.

And then for the next measurements, you can use this measuring device

normally.

Measuring Functions

Simple Length Measurement

For length measurements, briefly press button once to switch on the

measuring tool, the “length measurement” indication “ ” appears on the

display. And then press it again to activate the laser beam, briefly press the

same button third time to get the result value.

–

Continuous Measurement (Tracking)

In continuous measurement, the laser tape measure can be moved relative

to your target, and the measuring value is updated approx. every 0.5

seconds. You can move away from your target, while the actual distance can

always be read in time.

For choosing continuous measurements, press the button for seconds

until the “MAX & MIN” indication appears on LCD and the laser beam flashes

to get values continuously.

–

Area Measurement:

In area/surface measurements, press the button once a time to select,

stop choosing until the indication for area/surface measurement appears

on the LCD.

In measuring, you can delete the measured value you don’t need by pressing

the button once and measure again.

Press the same button twice at the same time to end the area measure-

ment, back into length measurement.

Volume Measurement

For volume measurements, press button once a time to select, stop

choosing until the indication

for volume measurement appears on the LCD.

In measuring, you can delete the measured value you don’t need by pressing

the button once and measure again.

Press the same button twice at the same time to end the volume

measurement, back into length measurement.

Area Summary measurement

You can get the sum of different areas of same height(such as walls)

automatically by using this measurement mode.

Switching on the tool, press button once a time to select function, stop

choosing until the indication for Area Summary measurement appears

on LCD.

The sum of the areas = Height x (width 1+ width 2)

Repeat the operations above and get the summary.

The sum of the areas = Height x (width 1+ width 2+...+ width n)

In measuring, you can delete the measured value you don’t need by pressing

the button once and measure again.

Press the same button twice at the same time to end the area summary

measurement, back into length measurement.

Indirect height measurement / Simple Pythagoras Measurement

The indirect measurement is used to measure distances that cannot be

measured directly because an obstacle would obstruct the laser beam or no

target surface is available as a reflector. Correct results are achieved only

when the right angles required for the respective measurement are exactly

adhered to Pythagorean Theorem(a²+b²=c²).

There are four Pythagoras modes specially-designed for users to measure

conveniently.

In Simple Pythagoras Measurement, the measuring tool can only calculate

when the side of right angle is shorter than the hypotenuse, otherwise, it will

display “ERROR”. In Simple Pythagoras Measurement, in order to ensure

the accuracy of measurement, it is necessary to ensure that the measuring

tool is measured from the same starting point, and follow the measure order

indicated on LCD.

Wheel Measuring

Switching on the laser tape measure, press the button for 3 seconds to

enter into the Wheel Measuring Mode. The symbol will show on LCD,

indicating that this tool enters into Wheel Measuring Mode for measuring the

length of curved surface. Rolling its wheel along the line to be measured and

the the result value will display in the result line, in this way you can measure

curved line or straight line in any kind of surface. It’s better to draw a line

firstly on the surface to be measured to make sure the route you are going to

roll along.

Tips

You may get some warnings as below:

Special-designed Functions

Auto-lock

Pull out the tape, and it locks automatically to avoid hand injury due to fast

retract.

Press the retract button to retract the tape in a speed which can be

controlled.

Movable Ruler Hook (Magnetic)

Measuring method 1: Top Measuring

With this movable ruler hook, when measuring against the project, the tape

claw directly touch the surface of your target, removing the possible error

caused by your ruler hook, taking the top of the tape as 0 point.

Measuring method 2: Hook Measuring

Hook the target, and move the ruler hook to the right to remove the possible

error caused by its hook, still taking the top of its tape as 0 point.

Specifications

“d”represents the actual distance

In an unsuitable environment, such as too strong sunlight or too large

fluctuation of ambient temperature, the reflection effect of the target surface

will be weak, which will affect the measurement results. In this case, the

hand-held reflector should be used to cooperate with your measurement to

obtain better effect.

When the battery power is insufficient, the measurement result may occur

errors, so please charge it in time.
