Frequently Asked Questions - HL-XW40 Cocraft

How do I turn on the laser distance meter?

Press the ON button to turn on the device and activate the laser. The laser indicator will appear on the display.

How do I change the measuring reference point?

Press the reference button repeatedly until the desired reference point (front, back, or tripod mount) appears in the upper left corner of the display.

What units can I measure in?

You can switch between meters (m), feet (ft), inches (in) with different fractions, and the Chinese unit 尺. Long press the unit button to cycle.

How do I perform an area measurement?

Press the function button once to select area measurement. Measure the length first, then the width. The area is calculated automatically.

What does the continuous measurement mode do?

Long press the measure button for about 3 seconds to enter continuous mode. It displays real-time distance and shows the minimum and maximum values measured.

How do I add or subtract measurements?

Take a measurement and press the save button to store it. Then measure again and press the + or - button to add or subtract the second reading from the first. The result appears at the bottom.

What do error codes like Err01 mean?

Err01 indicates the distance is out of range. Measure shorter distances. Err02 means weak reflection; choose a better target surface. Err03 is display overflow; split the measurement. Err04 is a Pythagoras error; redo the measurement. Err05 means low battery; replace batteries. Err06 is temperature out of range. Err07 is too much background light; measure in dimmer conditions.

How often should I replace the batteries?

Replace the batteries when the battery symbol on the display shows empty. The meter can take up to 10,000 measurements on fresh alkaline AA batteries.

Can I use the laser distance meter through glass?

No, the device cannot measure against or through glass surfaces because reflections may cause faulty readings. Use a piece of cardboard on soft or irregular surfaces.

How do I clean and maintain the laser distance meter?

Wipe the instrument with a soft cloth when needed. Store it in a clean, dry environment. Remove the battery if not used for an extended period. Avoid knocks, strong vibrations, and high temperatures.

3. Operation

Important

• Distance can be measured from the front or back of the device or from the tripod mounting point. Make sure that the area between the meter and the measured surface is free from obstructions.
• Make sure that the area between the meter and the measured surface is free from obstructions.
• If you need to measure the distance to a surface which is soft, irregular or too small, place a piece of cardboard in front of the surface.
• The device cannot measure against or through any glass surfaces. Reflections from such measuring may be faulty due to reflections.

3.1 Inserting batteries

1. Open the battery cover on the bottom.
2. Insert two AA/LR6 alkaline batteries according to the polarity markings in the battery compartment.

3.2 Measuring distance

Note: Always make sure that you have chosen the correct measuring units before measuring. The unit of measure is displayed on the lower right corner of the screen (see Selecting measuring units). Make sure that a reference point is chosen (see Changing measuring reference).

1. Press turn on the distance meter and laser. The laser indicator will display when the laser is on.

2. Turn on the backlight when needed. Press ⚙️.

3. Point the laser onto the area to be measured and press once to measure (a short beep will be heard once the measurement has been taken).

4. The measured distance will be shown on the display.

5. If no button is pushed for 30 seconds, the laser will turn off automatically and after 3 min the device will also turn off.

3.3 Adding or subtracting measurements

Suitable for situations requiring several measurements because of immovable obstacles.

Example: Adding measurements

1. Take the first reading. Select distance, area or volume. Then press ⚠ to save the reading temporarily.

2. Point the laser to the next area to be measured and press 📂 again to measure. Then press + to add the current reading to the previous one.

3. The sum will be shown at the bottom of the display. The two added readings will display on top.

4. Continue adding readings by pressing + and starting again from step 2. The sum will move to the top.

Example: Subtracting measurements

1. Take the first reading. Select distance, area or volume. Then press ⚠ to save the reading temporarily.

2. Point the laser to the next area to be measured and press 📂 again to measure. Press ⏻ to subtract the current reading from the previous one.

3. The sum will be shown at the bottom of the display. The two previous readings will display on top.

4. Continue subtracting readings by pressing ⏻ and starting again from step 2. The sum will move to the top.

3.4 Continuous measurement
