Measuring process
Once switched on, the measuring tool is in the length measurement
function. Other measuring functions can be set by repeatedly press-
ing the (3) button or the navigation buttons (7) [+] or (2) [–] (see
"Measuring functions", page 24).
Once the measurement function is selected by pressing the measur-
ing button (4), the laser beam is switched on.
Once the measuring tool has been switched on, the rear edge of the measuring tool is se-
lected as the reference level for measurement. To change the reference level, select (see
"Selecting the reference level (see figures A–B)", page 24).
Place the measuring tool at the line you want to measure from (e.g. wall) with the refer-
ence level selected.
To initiate the measurement, briefly press the measuring button (4). Afterwards, the
laser beam is switched off. To switch the laser beam on again, briefly press the measur-
ing button (4). To initiate a further measurement, briefly press the measuring button (4)
again.
Do not direct the laser beam at persons or animals and do not stare into the laser
u
beam yourself (even from a distance).
In the continuous measurement function, measurement will begin after the first press of
the measuring button (4).
The measured value typically appears within 0.5 seconds and no later than 4 seconds.
The duration of the measurement depends on the distance, the lighting conditions and
the reflective properties of the target surface.
If no measurement has been performed within approx. 20 seconds of aim being taken,
the laser beam is switched off automatically to preserve battery life.
Selecting the reference level (see figures A–B)
You can choose between two different reference levels for the measurement:
– The rear edge of the measuring tool (e.g. when placing against walls).
– The front edge of the measuring tool (e.g. when measuring from a table edge).
To change the reference level, press the (1) button until the required reference level is
shown on the display. The rear edge of the measuring tool is pre-set as the reference
level every time the measuring tool is switched on.
