Measuring process
Once switched on, the measuring tool is in the length meas-
urement function. For a different measuring function, press
the [Func] button (13). Use the [+] button (4) or the [–]
button (11) to select the required measuring function Meas-
uring functions. Activate the measuring function with the
[Func] button (13) or with the measuring button (2) [ ].
Once the measuring tool has been switched on, the rear
edge of the measuring tool is selected as the reference level
for measurement. To change the reference level (see "Se-
lecting the reference level (see figureA)", page13). Apply
the measuring tool to the point at which you want to start the
measurement (e.g. wall).
Note: If the measuring tool has been switched on using the
on/off/delete button (9) [ ], briefly press the measuring
button (2) [ ] to switch the laser on.
To initiate the measurement, briefly press the measuring
button (2) [ ]. Afterwards, the laser beam is switched off.
For a further measurement, repeat this process.
With the laser beam continuously switched on and when in
the continuous measurement function, the measurement be-
gins the first time you press the measuring button (2) [ ].
u Do not direct the laser beam at persons or animals and
do not stare into the laser beam yourself (even from a
distance).
Note: The measured value typically appears within half a
second, and no later than approximately four seconds. The
duration of the measurement depends on the distance, the
lighting conditions and the reflective properties of the target
surface. Upon completion of the measurement, the laser
beam is automatically switched off. The continuously
switched-on laser beam is not switched off after the meas-
urement Continuous laser beam.
Selecting the reference level (see figureA)
You can choose between four different reference levels for
the measurement:
– The rear edge of the measuring tool (e.g. when placing
against walls)
– The tip of the measuring pin (8) folded by 180° (e.g.
when measuring from a corner)
– The front edge of the measuring tool (e.g. when measur-
ing from a table edge)
– The centre of the thread (17) (e.g. for tripod measure-
ments)
The folding out and in of the measuring pin (8) by 180° is de-
tected automatically and the appropriate reference level is
suggested. Confirm the setting by pressing the measuring
button (2) [ ].
Select the settings for the measuring tool using the [ ] soft
key (3). Use the [+] button (4) or the [–] button (11) to se-
lect the reference level and confirm this by pressing the
[Func] button (13).
The rear edge of the measuring tool is automatically preset
as the reference level every time the measuring tool is
switched on.
Continuous laser beam
If necessary, you can switch the measuring tool to continu-
ous laser beam operation. To do this, select the settings for
the measuring tool using the soft key (3) [ ]. Use the but-
ton (4) [+] or the button (11) [–] to select the continuous
laser beam and confirm this by pressing the button (13)
[Func].
u Do not direct the laser beam at persons or animals and
do not stare into the laser beam yourself (even from a
distance).
In this setting, the laser beam remains switched on even
between measurements; measurement simply requires one
brief press of the measuring button (2) [ ].
The continuous laser beam can be switched off again in the
settings or automatically when the measuring tool is
switched off.
Settings menu
To enter the settings menu (i), briefly press the soft key (3)
[ ] or press and hold the button (13) [Func].
Use the button (4) [+] or the button (11) [–] to select the
required setting and confirm this by pressing the button
(13) [Func]. Select the required setting.
To exit the settings menu, press the on/off/delete button (9)
[ ] or the soft key (12) [ ].

Timer function
The timer function is useful when measuring in hard-to-reach
areas, for example, or when the measuring tool should be
kept stationary during measurement.
Select the timer function in the settings. Select the required
time period between triggering the timer and starting meas-
urement and confirm by pressing the measuring button (2)
[ ] or the button (13) [Func].
Then press the measuring button (2) [ ] to switch on the
laser beam and focus on the target. Press the measuring but-
ton (2) [ ] again to start the measurement. The measure-
ment will begin after the set time period has expired. The
measured value is displayed in the result line (a).
The time period between triggering the timer and starting
measurement is displayed in the status bar at the top.
Continuous measurement and minimum/maximum measure-
ment are not possible with the timer function enabled.
