OPERATIONAL ELEMENTS
C
INSERT 3 X AAA NIMH BATTERIES
Ensure correct polarity when inserting the batteries.
CHARGE THE BATTERIES
Open the cover of the USB plug (bottom of the instrument) and charge
the battery via the USB connection. For this use a standard USB charger,
i. e. from a smart phone. When the charging process is completed close
the USB plug.
Alternatively the instrument can be operated with standard AAA Alkaline
batteries.

SINGLE MEASUREMENT
Measuring mode: single measurement. Indication:
For taking measurements press
CONTINUOUS MEASUREMENT
Keep pressed. Indication:
Sweep slowly the laser back and forth over the selected target point.
Press to stop the continuous measurement.
Display indication: maximum, minimum and the last mea-
sured value.
ADDITION / SUBTRACTION
Press briefly -> add
Press long -> substract
etc.
GENERAL NOTES
· After 3 minutes without operation the instruments powers off automa-
tically.
· The instrument automatically saves the last 20 measured values.

PYTHAGORAS MEASUREMENTS
IMPORTANT - it is essential to observe the following
· When measuring the horizontal distance (2nd dimension), the measure-
ment must be taken at a 90° angle to the measuring surface.To do this,
use the inclination indicator (0°).
· All measurements must be vertically in line (without lateral deviation).
· Use a tripod to increase the measuring accuracy.

INDIRECT MEASUREMENTS VIA INCLINATION WITH HIGH
ACCURACY
Where direct measurements to the target are not possible, e.g. on glass
facades without measurement reflection or when the measurement object
is obscured:
Measure partial distances, the device will calculate the missing distances.
Here a general note:
· All measurements must be vertically in line (without lateral deviation).
· Use a tripod to increase the accuracy of the measurement.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
Code Cause Corrective action
204 Calculation error Repeat the measurement
208 Excessive current Contact your dealer
220 Battery weak Charge the battery
255 Signal too weak or
measuring time too long
Change the target surface
256 Signal too strong Change the target surface
261 Out of measuring range Select the measuring distance
within the range
500 Hardware error Power on/off the unit several
times. If the error code still
appears contact your dealer.
