4.5V DC
TheTLM165s tool emits a visible laser beam, as
shown in Figure A1 . The laser beam emitted is Laser
Class 2 per IEC 60825-1 and complies with 21 CFR
1040.10 and 1040.11 except for deviations pursuant to
Laser Notice No. 50, dated June 24, 2007.
WARNING:
While the laser tool is in operation, be careful not
to expose youreyes to the emitting laserbeam
(red light source). Exposure to a laserbeam
foran extended time period may be hazardous
to youreyes. Do not look into thebeam with
optical aids.

E
Measuring the Height of a Tall Object
If you need to measure the height of a tall object (e.g.,
a tall building), you can calculate the height based on
the distances from the same point to 2 or 3 points on
the object. The tool will use the Pythagorean Theorem
(C2=A2+B2) to calculate the height.
• If the tool can be positioned opposite the bottom
of the tall object (to create an angle ≤45°), use
the distances to 2 points to calculate the height
(Figure G).
• If the tool must be pointed downward to aim at
the bottom of the tall object (to create an angle >
45°), use the distances to 3 points to calculate the
height (Figure H).
Using the Distances to 2 Points
1. Click (Figure A3)to turn on the tool.
2. Click 3 times to show on the display
window (Figure C5).
3. Aim the laser at the top of the tool (Figure A1)
at the highest point of the building or object whose
height you need to measure (Figure G#1).
4. Click to measure the distance to the top of the
tall object.
5. From the same point, aim the laser at the lowest
point of the building or object (Figure G#2).
6. Click to measure the distance.
7. On the bottom line of the display window, view the
height of the building or object.
Using the Distances to 3 Points
1. Click (Figure A3)to turn on the tool.
2. Click 4 times to show on the display window
(Figure C5).
3. Point the laser (Figure A1) at the highest point
of the building or object whose height you need to
measure (Figure H#1).
4. Click to measure the distance to the top of the
tall object.
5. From the same point, aim the laser on a horizontal
line straight ahead toward the building or object
(Figure H#2).
6. Click to measure the distance.
7. From the same point, aim the laser at the lowest
point of the building or object (Figure H#3).
