Important safety guidelines for this product

Laser

• When using laser equipment, it should be ensured that people are not present in the projection range of the laser beam of the device. Ensure that the beam is not reflected to areas where people are present.
• Before using this device, inform yourself about the legal requirements and preventive measures for operating such a laser device.
• Never look into the laser beam and never point it at people or animals. Such laser radiation can cause eye injuries!
• As soon as laser radiation impinges on the eye, the eyes must be closed immediately and the head must be moved away from the laser beam immediately.
• Never point the laser beam at a mirror or other reflective surfaces. The uncontrolled beam may hit persons or animals!
• Manipulations (modifications) to the laser equipment are not permitted.
• This user manual should be kept carefully, and if you give the laser equipment away, it should be handed over along with it.
  • This product is equipped with a laser of Class 2.

5. Initial use

Take the device out of the package and remove all the packaging material.

Connect the supplied USB charging cable to a 5V DC power adapter (for example, the charger of your smartphone) and to the charging port at the bottom of the rangefinder. Charge the device completely before using it. The battery indicator (5) on the display shows the current battery level. Check that the product and the components are intact and that the device is working properly when using it for the first time.

6. Operating/Measuring

Switching on: Press the "ON/OFF" button (if about 1 second to switch on the device when it is switched off. If you do not press any button within 30 seconds, the laser switches off automatically.

Switching off: Press and hold the "ON / OFF" button ( ) for 2 seconds, to switch off the device. It switches off automatically after 3 minutes if there is no operation.

Laser on/Measuring: Press the "ON/OFF" button ( ) briefly once in the switched-on condition. The laser beam is switched on. Press once again to carry out the measurement. The laser is switched off automatically after completing the measurement. Pressing the button for a long duration results in continuous measurement mode.

6.1 Measurement reference

Press the "Unit change / reference point change" button ( ) briefly in the switched-on condition to change the reference point. The default setting is restored when you restart the device.

- Top of the device: The date mark can be found at the top of the instrument. The measured distance does not include the length of the instrument itself.

- Bottom of the device: The reference mark is the bottom of the instrument. The measured distance includes the length of the instrument itself.

7. Single measurement / Continuous measurement

Single measurement

Press the "ON / OFF" button ( ) briefly in the start condition to switch on the laser and to aim the laser beam on the object to be measured. Press again briefly to run the single measurement, and the measurement result is immediately displayed on the screen.

Continuous measurement

Press and hold the "ON/OFF button" ( ) for about 2 seconds in standby mode. The continuous measurement begins.

8. Selecting the unit

The default measurement unit of the instrument is meter (m). Press and hold the "Unit change / reference point change" button ( ) for some time to change the measurement unit.

9. Measurement functions

Area measurement
Volume measurement
Pythagorean measurement I
Pythagorean measurement II (plus)
Pythagorean measurement III (minus)

Area measurement

Press the "Mode" button briefly ( ) in the switched-on state until the area measurement symbol ( ) appears in the display.

The symbol of the side to be measured flashes on the display. Now aim at the desired point and press the "ON/OFF" button ( ) to measure the length of the first side. The square symbol of the second side then starts flashing. Measure the second point as described above. The device automatically calculates the area and shows the result on the display. The measurement results of the lengths of the first and second sides are displayed in the auxiliary display area.

Volume measurement

Press the "Mode" button briefly ( ) in the switched-on state until the volume measurement symbol ( ) appears in the display.

The symbol of the side to be measured flashes on the display. Now aim at the desired point and press the "ON/DIST" button to measure the length of the first side. The symbol of the second side then starts flashing. Measure the second point as described above. The device automatically calculates the area and shows the result on the display. The measurement results of the lengths of the first and second sides are displayed in the auxiliary display area.

Special functions (Pythagoras)

This mode is meant for the automatic calculation of the Pythagorean theorem. There are three different Pythagorean measurements. Select the desired measurement and then carry out the measurement.

Please press the "Mode" button briefly ( ) in the switched-on state until the desired Pythagoras function ("", " ", "") appears in the display. The symbol of the side to be measured flashes on the display. Now aim at the desired point and press the "ON/DIST" button to measure the length of the first side. The symbol of the second side then starts flashing.

Measure the second point as described above. The device automatically calculates the area and shows the result on the display. The measurement results of the lengths of the first and second sides are displayed in the auxiliary display area.

Note: In the Pythagoras measurement mode, the right side has to be smaller than the hypotenuse, otherwise the device shows an error message "D.E".

Notes for measurements

• If the upper surface of the object to be measured is a liquid or a clear and transparent substance, then the measurement may show an error.
• If the object to be measured is highly reflective, then the laser may also be reflected and errors could occur in the measurement.
• If the object to be measured is very dark or hardly reflective, then the time required for measurement may increase.
  • Sunlight adversely affects the range of the device!
