GB 7. Measure the height (Figure M3).
• Positon the tool at one end of the object and
point the laser dot across the height.
(Figure M3shows where to position the
tool if you are measuring from the bottom of
the tool).
• Press to display the height measurement
on the third line of the screen.
8. View the Volume measurement at the bottom of
the screen (Figure M4).
Adding/Subtracting 2 Volumes
You can measure the volume of room or object
and then add it to, or subtract it from, the volume of
another room or object (Figure N).
1. Point the tool's laser (Figure A1) toward a wall
or object, and not toward anyone's eyes.
2. Press (Figure A3) to turn the tool on and
display the red laser dot.
3. Make sure the tool position setting (Figure E4)
is correct for taking the measurement.
4. If is not already displayed as the current
function (Figure E5), click the current function
icon and then select from the list of
functions (Figure G2).
5. Click +to add, or -to subtract, the volumes of two
objects.
6. Measure the width (Figure N1).
• Position the tool at one end of the object and
point the laser dot across the width.
(Figure N1shows where to position the
tool if you are measuring from the bottom of
the tool.)
• Press to display the width measurement at
the top of the screen.
7. Measure the length (Figure N2).
• Position the tool at one end of the object and
point the laser dot across the length. (Figure N
2shows where to position the tool if you are
measuring from the bottom of the tool.)
• Press to display the length measurement on
the second line of the screen.
8. Measure the height (Figure N3).
• Position the tool at one end of the object and
point the laser dot across the height. (Figure N
3shows where to position the tool if you are
measuring from the bottom of the tool).
• Press to display the height measurement on
the third line of the screen.
9. Follow the same steps to measure the width,
length, and height of the second room or object.
10. View the Volume measurement at the bottom of
the screen (Figure N4).
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 distance to 1 point or the distances
from the same point to 2 points on the object. The
tool will use the Pythagorean Theorem (C2=A2+B2) to
calculate the height.
Distance to 1 Point
You can use the distance to one point on a wall
or object (Indirect Height) to determine its height
(Figure O).
1. Point the tool's laser (Figure A1) toward a wall
or object, and not toward anyone's eyes.
2. Press (Figure A3) to turn the tool on and
display the red laser dot.
3. Make sure the tool position setting (Figure E4)
is correct for taking the measurement.
4. If is not already displayed as the current
function (Figure E5), click the current function
icon and then select from the list of functions
(Figure G2).
5. Position the tool opposite the bottom of the
vertical height to be measured (Figure O1).
6. Point the laser toward the highest point of the
building or object whose height you need to
measure (Figure O1).
7. Press to measure the distance.
8. View the height measurement at the bottom of the
screen (Figure O2).
