y Before use, please read all operating instructions
and safety directives in this user's manual.
Incorrect use and not adhering to the instructions
contained in this manual may result in damage
to the device, affect the measurement results or
cause injury to the user.
y This device must under no condition be disassem-
bled or modified. Any unauthorised modifications
or power output changes are forbidden on laser
beam transmitters. Keep this device our of
children's reach and prevent its use by any unau-
thorised person, including children.
y Pointing the laser beam into eyes or at other parts
of the body is strictly forbidden. Pointing the
laser beam at any highly reflective surfaces is not
permitted. The beam may be reflected from such a
surface and enter somebody's eye. Do not view the
beam using optical equipment, e.g. binoculars.
y Due to the device's interference with electro-
magnetic transmissions and other equipment
and devices, please do not use this device inside
aircraft or in the vicinity of medical equipment.
Do not use it in an environment with an explosive
or flammable atmosphere.

TURNING THE DEVICE ON AND OFF
In the off mode, press button
. The device and
laser will turn on simultaneously and will be ready
for measurement.
In the on mode, hold down button
for 3 sec-
onds to turn off the device. The device will automati-
cally turn off after 150 seconds of inactivity.

SETTING A REFERENCE POINT
Press button
to set the position of the reference
point, i.e. define whether the measured length will
include the length of the device or not. Including the
length of the device when measuring distance has
significance when measuring the distance between
two walls. The default reference point of this device
is the rear point.
Measurement modes
Note: To increase the measurement range in
daylight or when the surface has poor reflective qual-
ities, use the reflective target plate or white paper.
SINGLE LENGTH MEASUREMENT
Turn on the laser beam by pressing button
the measurement mode. Press button
again
to measure a single length. The result is displayed on
the main row of the display.
CONTINUOUS MEASUREMENT
Hold down button
in the measuring mode to
enter the continuous measurement mode. In this
mode, the device continuously measures distance,
whilst, in addition to the currently measured value
on the main row of the display, it also displays the
min./max. and average value on the other rows.

If you wish to leave the continuous measurement
mode, press button

MEASURING AREA
Press button
and symbol
will appear on
the display. One side of the rectangle will
flash on the display. When measuring area, proceed
according to the instructions below:
Press button
once to measure the length
of one side and then press button
measure the second side.
The device calculates and displays the results
on the main row of the display.
The current length measurement is shown
on the auxiliary row of the display.
It is necessary to press button
to delete the
result and to start a new measurement.

PYTHAGOREAN THEOREM
The Pythagorean theorem function serves to
calculate unmeasurable dimensions from measured
dimensions using a mathematical algorithm in the
examples provided below. On the images of each of
the sub-functions the measured and calculated sides
in
are displayed. To achieve accurate measurements
and calculations, it is recommended to mount the
device on a tripod.
