3. Close the battery compartment cover (7).

4. OPERATION

WARNING! Danger of injury due to defective components! The product must only be put into operation if no defects are found. Ensure that any defective parts are replaced before the product is used again.

Check the device:

Make sure all parts are fitted on the machine firmly.
- Check whether there are any visible defects: broken parts, cracks, etc.

Operation

• Measurements of metallic or shiny surfaces provide inaccurate measuring values. As a repair, such surfaces can be covered with matt adhesive tape or faint black paint.
• The laser distance meter is not able to take measurements through transparent surfaces such as glass.

Switch on and off (Fig. A+C)

Hold down the measure button (2) to switch on the Equipment. Equipment will always start in the default reference setting of single measurement mode (9). Hold down the switch off button (4) to switch off the equipment.

Automatically switch off

The laser will be switched off automatically after 30 seconds and the equipment will be powered off after 3 minutes of inactivity.

Clear button (Fig. A)

Press clear button (4) to clear the last command or displayed data.

Unit conversion (Fig. A+B)

The instrument's default unit is meters (15) but can be set to meters 'm', feet 'ft' and inches 'in'. Hold down the function button (3) to switch between units of measurements.
