Single measurement:
In the Test mode, press key to
radiate laser, lock measurement point.
Press key again for single distance
data measurement, measurement result
will display in the main display area.
Continuous measurement:
In the Test mode, long press key to
enter the continuous measurement
state, the maximum measurement value
and the minimum measurement value
will display on the screen during the
continuous measurement. Current
measurement value will display in the
main display area, short press key
to quit the continuous measurement
mode.
Area measurement:
Press key, will display on the
screen, one edge of rectangular is
flashing, complete the following
operations according to prompts: Press
key to measure the first edge
(Length) Press key to measure the
second edge (Width) The meter will
automatically make area calculation,
the result will display in the main
display area.

Area measurement:
Press key, will display on the
screen, one edge of cube is flashing,
complete the following operations
according to prompts
Press key to
measure the first edge (Length) Press
key to measure the second edge
(Width)
Press key to measure the third edge
(Height) The meter will automatically
make volume calculation, the result will
display in the main display area.
Press key to clear the previous
result, measure it again
Indirect measurement with
Pythagorean theorem
In the meter, there are three default
modes to measure single distance of
triangle with Pythagorean theorem.
Users can make indirect measurements
easily in specific complex environment.
can be used for mode selection:
1) Press key. On the screen:
hypotenuse is flashing
Press key, measure the length
of the hypotenuse with dotted line
according to prompts on the screen
(a)
Press key to measure the length
of the leg with dotted line (b)
The meter will automatically calculate
the length of the leg with solid line (x)

11 12
2) Press key twice. On the screen:
erect side is flashing.
Press key, measure the length of
one of legs with dotted line according
to prompts on the screen (a)
Press key to measure the length
of another leg with dotted line (b)
The meter will automatically calculate
the length of the hypotenuse with
solid line (x)
3) Press three times. On the screen:
hypotenuse is flashing
Press key, measure the length of
one of hypotenuses with dotted line
according to prompts on the screen
(a)
Press key to measure the length of
the hypotenuse with dotted line in the
figure (b)
Press key to measure the length of
another hypotenuse with dotted line in
the figure (c) The meter will automatically
work out the length of the leg with solid
line (x)
In the Pythagorean measurement mode,
leg length should be less than
hypotenuse length, the meter would
calculate, otherwise, the device will
show error signal prompt.

13 14
In the Pythagorean measurement mode,
to ensure measurement accuracy, it
should ensure to measure from the
same starting point, and measure in
hypotenuse, leg order.
Add/subtract measurement
function:
Cumulative or inverse cumulative
operation can be done for single
distance measurement with add/subtract
operation.
Press key, “+” will display in the main
display area, enter the cumulative
measurement mode. Accumulated value
of the last measurement value and the
current measurement value will display
on the screen.
Press key, “-” will display in the main
display area, enter the inverse cumulative
measurement mode. Difference value of
the last measurement value and the
current measurement value will display
on the screen.
Browse recordings:
Short press key to search the stored
measurement data, use key or
key to move forward or backward for
browsing. Or long press to clear all
stored recordings.
Store and browse:
Store recordings
If the current data is valid in the
measurement mode, long press key
for 3 seconds, the current measurement
data will be automatically stored in the
meter memory. MS6460 can store 20
pcs at most.
