Start-up
Power ON/OFF
Press power button 11 to power on the device.
Press and hold the power button 11 until the LC display turns
off to power off the device.
Note: If no button is pressed for 3 minutes, the device will
automatically power off itself.
Acoustic signal:
- Each press of a button and every error-free function that is carried
out is confirmed by a short beep.
- A longer beep will be heard in the event of any fault.
- Under continuous measurement mode, fast pace of short beeps will
be continuously heard and in the event of error, the fast pace
beep will slow down.
- Briefly press the beep button 13 to activate or deactivate the
beep sound at any mode.

16 GB/CY
Home-screen mode:
Briefly press power button 11 at any mode to Clear all data
shown on the display and to go to Home-screen mode. At
Home-screen mode, there won't be any data on the display
and user can press any particular button at this home-screen
mode to go to any specific mode.
Handling and Operation
Selecting the unit of length
Right after power on the device, the last-used length unit will be
shown on the display. Press Unit button 10 to select another unit.
You can set the following length units in this order:
Length Area Volumes
0.000 m 0.000 m20.000 m3
0.000 ft 0.000 ft20.00 ft3
0’0” 1/16 in 0.00 ft20.00 ft3
0’0” 1/16 0.00 ft20.00 ft3
Return/Clear
Press "Return /Clear" button 8at any mode to Clear latest
measured value and go back to previous value (or) go back
to previous mode.

17GB/CY
Press "Return /Clear" button 8multiple times to go back to
Home-screen (see Home-screen part for more detail).
Note: Pressing "Return/ Clear" button 8under continuous
measurement mode will stop the measurement.
Selection of the reference point
The rear reference point (base) or the end piece reference point or
the front reference point of the device can be used as the contact
surface for any measurement. The reference point is to be set before
measurement. Otherwise, the measured result differs from actual
value. The default reference point setting is from the rear side of
the device. The reference point can be changed by pressing the
reference button 12 repeatedly until the desired reference point
shown on the top left side corner of the display.
End piece reference point
End piece 33 will be useful while a distance is measured from a
corner (diagonal room) or from the place, where it is difficult to
reach. End piece 33 is located on the rear side of the device. The
End piece 33 can be unfolded as shown in the fig D using a sharp
tool or finger nail. Once finished using, the End piece 33 has to be
folded-back for future use.

Measuring lengths
Single Measurement mode
1. Place or hold the reference plane of the device on or against
the desired base surface from which you want to determine a
distance.
2. Check the flatness of the device by use of both the bubble lev-
els 6a . One of the bubble level is for checking horizontal flat-
ness and the other air bubble is for checking vertical flatness.
To, check the flatness of certain angle, make sure that bubble
is positioned at the middle of respective angle bubble level.
3. Briefly press the MEAS button 16 to activate the laser. Once
the laser is switched on, it is indicated by the laser icon 31 on
the display.
Note: Step 3 can be skipped if the laser beam is already
activated.
4. Now aim the laser at the target point and press the MEAS
button 16 briefly again to take a measurement. If the meas-
urement is successful, the measured result will be shown on
the bottom row 23 of the display. The previous readings are
pushed upwards.
Note:
- Repeat the step 1 to 4 if needed to measure another distance.
- Distance Measurement mode icon 26 will stay on (not flashing)
under single measurement mode.
- Maximum up to 4 measured values can be shown on the
display at a same time.

19GB/CY
- If no button is pressed for 30 seconds, the laser pointer and
display back-light will turn off. If no button is pressed for 3
minutes, the device will power off itself.
Continuous Measurement mode
Continuous measurement involves taking series of measurements
from which the maximum (MAX) and minimum (MIN) values are
displayed. To do this, move the device along a base surface or an
edge from which you wish to the measure a distances. You can, for
example, measure how parallel two opposite walls are or measure
the maximum values while using a function.
1. Start the continuous measurement by briefly pressing the con-
tinuous measurement button 14 . A very short delay could be
observed to get first measured value on the display. This is com-
mon. Now, each measured value will be shown on the display.
2. Stop the measurement by pressing the continuous measure-
ment button 14 or MEAS button 16 or return/Clear button
8. The display now shows the maximum (MAX) and mini-
mum (MIN) values 21 of that particular measurement series
and the last measured value.
Note:
- Repeat the step 1 to 2 if needed to do another measurement.
- Distance Measurement mode icon 26 will be flashing under con-
tinuous measurement mode while measurement is on process.
- Addition, subtraction, area measurement and volume measure-
ment cannot be done on on this mode. So, function selection

20 GB/CY
button 15 and add/ subtract button 7will be inactive at this
mode.
- If no button is pressed for 3 minutes, the device will power off
itself.
Measurement value functions
To make it easier to process measurement results, the device offers
a number of integrated functions. By pressing the Function button
15 repeatedly, you can activate the following functions one after
the other: Area, Volume, Simple Pythagoras, Double Pythagoras.
Note: The desired function must be selected before the measure-
ment.
Area
1. Press the Function selection button 15 once. The area icon of
measuring mode indication symbol 25 appears on the display.
2. Now measure the length and width of the area to be measured
by pressing the MEAS button 16 . The corresponding line of
the area icon flashes on the display for the individual measure-
ment values. Right after the second measurement, the calcu-
lated area is shown on the bottom row 23 of the display and
the corresponding line of the area icon stop flashing. Length,
width and perimeter will be shown on the top three rows of
the display orderly.
