How to change the unit of measurement?

Press and hold the Mode button (3) for 2 seconds to switch between meter (m), foot (ft), inch (in), and inch (").

What is the measuring range of the laser?

The laser measurement works from 0.05 m to 50 m with an accuracy of ± 2 mm.

How to measure an area or volume?

Press the Mode button several times to select area or volume mode. Perform the required measurements (2 for area, 3 for volume) by pressing the Laser button each time. The result is displayed automatically.

What does error code 08 mean?

Error 08 indicates that the Pythagorean theorem cannot be applied because the triangle is not right-angled. Make sure the measurements are taken at a right angle.

How to recharge the device?

Plug the provided USB-C cable into the charging port (6) and connect the other end to a USB port or a 5 V / 1 A power adapter. The battery charges completely in a few hours.

Is the device waterproof?

No, the protection rating is IP20: it is resistant to solid objects >12.5 mm but not to water. Use it only in dry rooms.

How to clean the screen and housing?

Turn off the device before cleaning. Use a dry, soft cloth. Never use harsh detergents, water, or metal objects.

Can I replace the battery myself?

No, the battery is built-in and not user-replaceable. If you have a problem, contact after-sales service.

How to use the continuous measurement function?

Select the 'Continuous distance measurement' mode with the Mode button. Press Laser to start continuous measurement: the actual distance is displayed at the bottom. Press again to record the maximum distance, then a third time for the minimum.

General safety instructions

• Observe the information on operation, cleaning, storage and disposal in

the operating instructions.

• Keep children away from the device.
• Check the device each time before using. If damaged, have the device repaired. Do not use the device if damaged.
• Turn off the device when not in use. Do not leave the device unsupervised.
• Keep the device away from medical devices, magnetic data storage media and magnetically sensitive devices.

Safety Instructions for Handling the Laser

• Caution: Leaser beam - Do not look into the beam! Laser class 2 Danger of eye injury!
• Do not aim the laser beam at people. Danger of eye injury!
• Markings and warnings are located on the back of the device.

Safety instructions for battery-powered devices

• In order to minimise the risk of electric shock, pull the charger plug out of the socket prior to cleaning it.

• Do not expose the battery/device to direct sunlight for long periods and do not place the device on a radiator. Heat damages the battery and there is a risk of explosion.

• If warm, allow the battery to cool before charging.
• Do not open the battery and avoid mechanical damage to the battery. There is a risk of a short circuit and vapours may leak out, causing irritation to the respiratory tract. Seek fresh air and medical assistance.

Roller tape measure

When extracting, the roller tape measure (10) locks automatically. To retract, press the locking button (12).

Spirit level

The 2 spirit levels (1) are at a 90^ angle to each other. Place the device upright on a surface and check that the device is level using the spirit level (1) on top. This ensures that the laser takes an accurate measurement horizontally or vertically.

Measuring with the laser

Caution! Laser beam.

Do not look into the

beam. Turn your head away or close your eyes to prevent looking into the laser beam. Danger of eye injury!

Measurements through plastic or glass panes

distort the measurement result.

Switching on and off

To switch on, press the "Laser" button (4) for 2 seconds.

To switch off, press the "Laser" button (4) for 2 seconds.

The device turns off automatically after 3

minutes of inactivity.

Changing the measuring unit

You can display the measurements in metres (m), feet (ft), inches (in) or inches (").

You can change the measuring unit by pressing the "Mode" button (3) for 2 seconds.

Selecting modes

You can switch through the modes using the "Mode" button (3) in the following order:

• Measure distance
• Measure area
• Measure volume
• Measure simple Pythagoras
• Measure double Pythagoras
• Measure triple Pythagoras
• Measure continuous distance
• Save the last 100 measurements

On switching on, the device will be in

"Measure distance" mode.

Explanation of the modes

Measure distance

The current measurement is always shown in the bottom line of the display (2). When the next measurement is taken, the previously measured value slides up one line.

Measure area

Take two measurements. The individual measurements are displayed in the upper lines. The area is then

calculated from the length and width and displayed in the bottom line.

Measure volume

Take three measurements. The individual measurements are displayed in small font in the upper lines. The volume is then calculated from the length, width and height and is displayed in the bottom line.

Simple Pythagoras/ double Pythagoras/triple Pythagoras

For calculating the distance in a right-angled triangle. As soon as you press the "Laser" button (4) to take the measurement, the value to be measured will assist by flashing on the small mode icon.

Measure continuous distance

To record a maximum and minimum distance with continuous measurement. Press the "Laser" button (4) to record the maximum distance. Press the "Laser" button (4) again to record the minimum distance. As the complete measurement is taken, the current distance is displayed in the bottom line.

Save the last 100 measurements

Press the "Laser" button (4) to go backwards through the stored values.

Measuring

1. Select the required mode.
2. Press the "Laser" button (4) to measure.
3. Aim the laser at the point to which you want to measure the distance.
4. Press the "Laser" button (4) again. The measured value is now displayed.

Error codes

Error 08 - Pythagorean theorem cannot be used, no right-angled triangle
Error 10 - Battery empty
Error 15 - Value is outside the measuring range
Error 00/44 - Distance to be measured is too close

Belt clip

During breaks in work, the device can be hung from a belt, using the integrated belt clip (5). Ensure that the device is switched off.

Charging the battery

Do not expose the battery to extreme conditions such as heat and shocks. There is a risk of injury caused by leaking electrolyte solution! In the case of contact, rinse with water or neutraliser. Seek medical advice if the solution has come into contact with the eyes etc.

The battery must only be charged up in dry areas.

• Charge the built-in battery before using it for the first time.
  Defects resulting from improper handling are not covered by the warranty.
  The battery is not replaceable. If you have any problems with the battery, please contact the service centre.

• Insert the USB-C plug (9) into the charging socket (6) on the device.

• Connect the USB plug (8) to a USB port/power supply. The supply voltage / charging voltage must not be more than 5V , the

charging current must not be more than 1 A.

The battery status indicator remains on the display when the battery is fully charged.

1. After charging, first disconnect the USB plug (8) from the USB port/ power supply.
2. Then pull the USB-C plug (9) out of the charging socket (6).
