KEYS AND THEIR FUNCTIONS:
ON/OFF Applies power to unit.
The 60 PRO will not turn on until
or is pressed.
Measures from bottom of unit -
icon will appear in the lower right
corner of the display.
Measures from top of unit -
icon will appear in the lower right
corner of the display.
Using either button: Press and HOLD to track
measurements - for continuous readings while
moving. Fastest way to measure but no reading
validation. Useful for locating correct surfaces
when there are obstacles in the way.
Press and RELEASE to validate measurement only
when unit is held absolutely still. Most accurate
mode. Useful in environments when obtaining a
stable reading can be difficult. Validates all
measurement before displaying. Filters out noise
from machinery and other sources.
Turns on Memory. Cycles through memory
registers.
Stores data displayed into blinking memory
registers.
Recalls memory from blinking memory
registers.
Multiplies measurements for area and
volume. Stores and recalls
memory.

Adds linear distances, areas and volumes.
Stores and recalls
memory.
Subtracts linear distances, areas and
volumes.
Clear/Convert/Off Button.
Press and immediately release to clear
display. Press and hold for two seconds to
change display units. Press twice to turn
unit off.
Press and Hold
key for more than 2 seconds
to change display units. The display will cycle
between m, ft:in, ft:ft and yd. Release key to
select desired mode.
TAKING A MEASUREMENT /
GETTING STARTED:
1) Install a fresh 9V alkaline battery in rear of
unit. Push contacts firmly in place.
2) Aim cone at a hard, flat, unobstructed surface
such as a wall or mirror.
3) Make certain you have a clear path to the
surface (wall). (See FIG.1)
4) Hold Receiver perpendicular to the surface.
(See FIG. 2)

5) Press
or until a consistent measure-
ment appears (about 2 seconds). The unit will
continue to take and display rapid measure-
ments as long as the button is held. Release
button to freeze the measurement.
Press and release
or to validate
measurement.
6) Your unit is factory preset to display metric. To
set your display to desired mode (m, ft:in,ft:ft
or yds) Press and hold button until desired
mode displays, then release.
NOTE: Unit will now default to your preset
mode even after unit is turned off.
HELPFUL MEASURING HINTS:
1) Measurements cannot be taken through glass
or off of soft or padded surfaces.
2) The SONIN 60 PRO's range and ability to
measure in tight spaces can be increased.
Stand in the middle of the distance to be
measured and add measurements taken in
opposite directions.
3) When measuring in confined spaces (hallways),
try to measure down the center line and midway
between the floor and ceiling.

spread 1 ft (30 cm) for every 10 ft (3m) measured.
