Basic device Applications
Straight line single distance measurement
Basic usage is quite simple.
To begin, press the key once to switch the laser on and aim at
your target.
Pressing again records the measurement and shows the result
on the device display.

* For measurements, where there is nothing obvious at the other end for the laser to reflect back, it is
recommended that you use Leica branded Target plate for maximum measurement range.
Permanent / Minimum-Maximum measurement
This function determines the minimum or maximum distance from a specific measuring
point, e.g. the determination of room diagonals (maximum value) or horizontal distance
(minimum value).
To activate permanent measuring, press and hold the key for 2
seconds. This will activate the continuous laser.
Aim the laser at wall corners (maximum value) or horizontal distance
(minimum value). The display would show the max. & min. values on
the screen.
To stop permanent/minimum-maximum measuring press key
once.
Add/ Subtract function
Add / Subtract are two basic functions in D410. The keys are
displayed on the device for this application.
Press once to add the next measurement to previous one.
Press twice to subtract the next measurement to previous one.
Point finder/View screen
Press the key on the device to activate the camera mode.
With the help of navigation keys zoom the pointfinder to 1x, 2x &
4x zoom.
*You can also adjust the illumination by using keys.

Area Measurement
Area measurement is a basic function provided in all Leica Disto devices. This helps you
calculate the area of wall or surface just by measuring its sides from the same reference
point.
For measuring the area of a surface, press the Function key once.
On this screen, the area application is located at the center of
the display.
*In D410, you can also find the area application at the bottom left of the device
as you switch it on.
Navigate to the icon using keys to select for Area
application. Select the icon using =key.
To begin, press the key once to switch the laser on and aim at
your target to take the 1st reading.
Then focusing from the same reference point take the 2nd reading by
measuring the adjacent wall length. (as the area icon will indicate on
display)
Once this process is completed the device automatically calculates
the area for you.
* Adding and subtracting areas
You can measure two separate areas and add or subtract them from each other with the
help of or keys.
**The device also calculates
The total linear distance or the circumference.
Volume Measurement
For measuring the volume of an object press the Function key
once.
On this screen, volume application is located at the bottom right
of the display.
Navigate to the icon using keys to select for Volume
application. Select the icon using =key.
Measure the three adjacent lengths (l x b x h) using . (as the volume
icon will indicate on display)
*All measurement needs to be taken from the same reference point.
Once this process is completed the device automatically calculates
the volume on the display.
*The device also calculates:
Ceiling/floor area
Wall areas
Total linear distance (circumference)

Smart Horizontal Mode™
A wonderful application to measure the horizontal distance even with an obstruction in the
way.
For measuring the distance from an object through Smart Horizontal
Mode™, press the Function key once.
On this screen, Smart Horizontal application icon is located at
the middle right of the display.
Navigate to the icon using keys to select for Smart Horizontal
application. Select the icon using =key.
Aim the laser at an angle of a certain tilt and record the measurement
by pressing .
The device automatically calculates the horizontal distance from the
target.
*Along with the horizontal distance this application also records:
angle of the tilt
length of the tilt and
the vertical height from the device.
2 point indirect horizontal length measurement
This function helps you measure the length of an object indirectly just by focusing on 2
points.
Press the Function key ocne.
Move to the second page of the application screen using keys.
On this screen, 2 point indirect length measurement application
icon is located at the bottom centre of the display.
Navigate to the icon using keys to select the option for 2 point
indirect measurement. Select the icon using =key.
To measure the horizontal length through this application, measure
points a. & b. from the same reference point.
How to measure a. & b.
Aim the laser at point a. and record that measurement by pressing
Next aim the laser at point b. as shown in the figure on the left and
record that measurement by pressing again
The device automatically calculates the distance from a. to b.
The device also calculates the distance from the device to points a. &
b.
*This application requires tripod.
** This application is applicable only to measure the horizontal length. To measure the vertical height
please use the Height Tracking function.
