Reset
When you select the menu function RESET ("rESET"
will blink in the display) and press the EQUAL-key
{A, 5} twice the device will default to factory
settings.
CAUTION: Any customized presettings as well as
stored values will be deleted.
Operation
Switching On/Off
ON: Press ON - key {A, 1} briefly. Battery indica-
tion is displayed until the next keystroke.
OFF: Press and hold OFF - key {A, 9}. To maximize
battery life the laser beam will switch off after
3 minutes of inactivity, the device will auto-
matically switch off after 6 minutes of inacti-
vity.
CLEAR key
Pushing the CLEAR - key {A, 9} clears the last entry
or measurement. Within a function (area, volume,
etc.) single measurements can be deleted step by
step and remeasured.
Illumination
Pressing the ILLUMINATION - key {A, 11} turns on/
off the display backlight.
Measuring reference
If the positioning bracket is folded out, the device
recognizes the position, adapts the reference and
calculates distances accordingly.
The default reference setting is from the rear of the
instrument. By pressing the REFERENCE - key {A, 8},
the setting can be changed, so that the next measu-
rement taken will be from the "front" of the in-stru-
ment. Afterwards the reference setting automatically
defaults back to rear. See picture {G}.
You can choose the "front" reference permanently by
pressing the REFERENCE - key {A, 8} longer. Press
the REFERENCE - key {A, 8} longer another time to
change back to the "rear" reference.
See also "Measuring with tripod".
Measuring
Single distance measuring
Pressing DIST - key {A, 1} turns the laser on. Aim at
the desired target and press DIST - key {A, 1} again.
The measured distance is displayed immediately in
the chosen unit.
Minimum/maximum measuring
This function allows the user to measure the
minimum or maximum distance from a fixed measu-
ring point as well as to determine spacing - see figure
{H}.
It is commonly used to measure diagonal distances
