Setting the Reference Edge of the Instrument for your
Measurements
The default setting for the reference edge of the instrument is its
back edge. This means that any distance measurements you take
will be referenced to the back edge of the meter. You can choose
to use the front edge of the meter as the reference edge instead.
To do so, simply press the key, and the next measurement
will use the front edge as the measurement reference edge.
Pressing it again will change it back to the back edge. Changing of
the measurement reference edge will be confirmed by a beep.
Each time you turn the meter on, the measurement reference edge
will be set to the default value (back edge).

Measurement Modes
Distance Measurement
Press the key once to activate the laser. Press the key
again to trigger the measurement.
The measurement result will be displayed as soon as the
measurement is complete.

9
Continuous Measurement and Maximum/Minimum Value
Hold down the key until you hear the beeper. This will
place the meter into continuous measurement mode. Use the laser
to scan the target area, e.g. a corner.
The continuous measurement mode allows you to determine the
maximum or minimum distance such as the measurement of a
diagonal distance (maximum value) or vertical distance
(minimum value) of a room.
The secondary display area will show the maximum and
minimum values and the main display area will show the real-
time measurement value.
Press the or key to cancel continuous measurement
scanning.

the secondary display area.

13
Indirect Measurements
The instrument can calculate a distance with use of the
Pythagorean Theorem automatically. The Pythagorean Theorem
states that for a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse (the
side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of
the other two sides. This function can be used to indirectly
measure places that are either hard to access or difficult to
measure directly with the meter (e.g. height of a building).
Indirect Measurement Mode 1:
The measurement of distance using the sides of a triangle requires
two measurements according to the following steps:
Press the key once and the icon will be displayed.
Follow the prompt of the flashing icon: press the
key to first measure the hypotenuse and then press it again to
measure the right-angle edge of the triangle.
(Note: when measuring the right-angle edge of the triangle, keep
the instrument as horizontal as possible.)
After these two measurements have been completed, the
Pythagorean calculation is performed automatically.
If the measurement results meet the requirements of the

14
Pythagorean Theorem (the distance of the hypotenuse is longer
than the distance of the right-angle edges), the calculated length
of the third triangle side will be displayed in the main display
area. The measurement values of the hypotenuse and right-angle
edges will be displayed in the secondary display area.

15
Indirect Measurement Mode 2:
Press the key twice and the icon will be displayed.
Follow the prompt of the flashing icon:
Press the key once to measure the hypotenuse of the first
triangle (pointing upward).
Press the key again to measure the common right-angle
side of the two triangles. Keep the instrument as horizontal as
possible.
Press the key a third time to measure the hypotenuse of
the second triangle (pointing downward).
If the measurement result meets the requirements of the
Pythagorean Theorem, the calculated height x (see diagram
below) will be displayed in the main display area. The individual

16
measurement values of the hypotenuse and right-angle sides (a, b,
and c) will be displayed in the secondary display area.

17
Indirect Measurement Mode 3:
Press the key three times and the icon will be
displayed.
Follow the prompt of the flashing icon:
Press the key once to measure the hypotenuse of the first
triangle.
Press the key again to measure the common side of the
two triangles.
Press the key a third time to measure the shared right-
angle side of the two triangles.
