7. Operati n
7.1 Basic Operati n
1. Hold the MEAS button pressed to switch on the distance meter.
2. Press the UNIT button to select the measurement unit from meter (m),
feet (ft), inches (in) to sixteenths of inches (x/16 in).
3. Press the backlight button to switch the backlight on or off.
4. Hold the OFF/DEL button pressed to switch off the distance meter.
7.2 Setting the Measurement Benchmark
1. Press the benchmark button to switch between the front and end
benchmark.
2. The end benchmark is the default benchmark.
7.3 Single r C ntinu us Measurement
Single Measurement
1. Press the MEAS button to switch on the laser.
2. Aim the IR sensor towards the object to be measured.
3. Press the MEAS button to measure the distance. The value appears on
the LCD display.

C ntinu us Measurement
1. Hold the MEAS button pressed to enter the continuous measuring
mode.
2. Aim the IR sensor towards the object to be measured.
3. The current, minimum and maximum values appear on the LCD
display.
4. Press the MEAS button again to exit the continuous measuring mode.
7.4 Area Measurement
1. Press the area/volume button to enter the area-measuring mode.
2. Press the MEAS button and measure the length.
3. Press the MEAS button and measure the width.
4. The meter automatically calculates the area. The value appears on the
LCD display.
5. Press the MEAS button to exit the mode.
7.5 V lume Measurement
1. Press the area/volume button twice to enter the volume-measuring
mode.

7.6 Indirect Measurement
The indirect measurement consists of measuring a distance using the
Pythagorean Theorem.
Remarks:
•For accurate measurements, distances must be measured from the
exact same starting point. Therefore, it is advisable to fix the meter on
a tripod (not included).
•To avoid measurement errors from the meter, the length of the vertical
side must be shorter than the length of the hypotenuse.
Simple Vertical Distance Measurement
1. Press the Pythagorean measurement button to enter the mode.
2. Press the MEAS button a first time and measure the length of the
hypotenuse [1].
3. Press the MEAS button a second time and measure the length of the
bottom line [2].

2. Press the MEAS button a first time and measure the length of the
hypotenuse [1].
3. Press the MEAS button a second time and measure the length of the
second line [2].
4. Press the MEAS button a third time and measure the length of the
bottom line [3].
5. The meter automatically calculates the length of the vertical line. The
value appears on the LCD display.
Hyp tenuse Distance Measurement
1. Press the Pythagorean measurement button thrice to enter the mode.
2. Press the MEAS button a first time and measure the length of the
vertical line [1].
