Measuring process
When switching on for the first time, the measuring tool will be in the length measure-
ment function. When switching on every subsequent time, the measuring tool will be in
the measuring function that was last used. For a different measuring function, press the
(2) [Func] button. Use the (6) [+] button or the (3) [–] button to select the required
measuring function Measuring Functions. Activate the measuring function with the (2)
[Func] button or with the measuring button(5) [ ].
There are three settings available for the reference level for measurement (see "Selecting
the reference level (see figureA)", page19).
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/back button(8) [ ],
briefly press the measuring button(5) [ ] to switch the laser on.
To initiate the measurement, briefly press the measuring button(5) [ ]. The laser beam
will then switch off. For a further measurement, repeat this process.
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 ap-
proximately four seconds. The duration of the measurement depends on the distance,
the lighting conditions and the reflective properties of the target surface. Upon comple-
tion of the measurement, the laser beam will automatically switch off.
Selecting the reference level (see figureA)
You can choose between three different reference levels for the measurement:
– The rear edge of the measuring tool (e.g. when placing against walls)
– The front edge of the measuring tool (e.g. when measuring from a table edge)
– The centre of the thread(14) (e.g. for tripod measurements)
To select the reference level, press the (7) [ ] button. Then select the “Reference level”
setting with the measuring button(5) [ ] or the (2) [Func] button. Then use the (6) [+]
button or the (3) [–] button to select the required reference level. Every time the meas-
uring tool is switched on, the last selected reference level is preset.
“Settings” menu (see figure B)
Press the(7) [ ] button to access the “Settings” menu(i).
Use the (6) [+] button or the (3) [–] button to select the required setting and confirm
this by pressing the measuring button (5) [ ] or the (2) [Func] button.
