After switching on, the rear edge of the measuring tool is pre-
set as the reference level for the measurement. By pressing
the reference level button 10, the reference level can be
changed (see “Selecting the Reference Level (see figure A)”,
page 12).
Place the measuring tool with the selected reference plane
against the desired starting point of the measurement (e.g. a
wall).
Briefly press the measuring button 2 to switch on the laser
beam.
Do not point the laser beam at persons or animals and
do not look into the laser beam yourself, not even from
a large distance.
Aim the laser beam at the target surface. Briefly press the
measuring button 2 again to initate the measurement.
When the laser beam is switched on permanently, the meas-
urement already starts after the first actuation of the measur-
ing button 2. In continuous measurement mode, the measure-
ment starts immediately upon switching on.
Typically, the measured value appears after 0.5 and latest af-
ter 4 seconds. The duration of the measurement depends on
the distance, the light conditions and the reflection proper-
ties of the target surface. The end of the measurement is indi-
cated by a signal tone. The laser beam is switched off auto-
matically upon completion of the measurement.
When no measurement takes place approx. 20 seconds after
collimating, the measuring tool automatically switches off to
save the battery.
Selecting the Reference Level (see figure A)
For the measurement, you can select between four reference
planes:
The rear edge of the measuring tool or the front edge of the
90° folded-out positioning pin 9 (e.g. when measuring on-
ward from outer corners),
The tip of the 180° folded-out positioning pin 9 (e. g. when
measuring from a corner),
The front measuring-tool edge (e.g. when measuring on-
ward from a table edge),
The centre of thread 19 (e.g. for tripod measurements).
To select the reference level, press button 10 until the re-
quested reference level is indicated on the display. Each time
after switching on the measuring tool, the rear end of the
measuring tool is preset as the reference level.
Subsequent changing of the reference level for measurements
that have already been carried out (e.g. when indicating meas-
uring values in the measured-value list) is not possible.
“Basic Settings”
To access the “Basic settings” menu, press and hold the basic
settings button 4.
Briefly press the basic settings button 4 to select the individ-
ual menu items.
Press the minus button 5 or the plus button 11 to select the
setting within the menu items.
To exit the “Basic settings” menu, press the measurement
button 2.
With exception of the “Permanent laser beam” setting, all ba-
sic settings are retained when switching off.
Continuous Laser Beam
Do not point the laser beam at persons or animals and
do not look into the laser beam yourself, not even from
a large distance.
In this setting, the laser beam also remains switched on be-
tween measurements; for measuring, it is only required to
press the measuring button 2 once.
Measuring Functions
Simple Length Measurement
For length measurements, press button 12 until the “length
measurement” indication appears on the display.
To switch the laser on and for measuring,
briefly press the measuring button 2 once
each time.
The measured value is displayed in the re-
sult line c.
For several subsequent length measure-
ments, the last measured results are displayed in the meas-
ured-value lines a.
