(maximum values) or horizontal distances (minimum
values).
Press and hold DIST - key {A, 1} until you hear a
beep, indicating the device is in a continuous measu-
ring mode. Then slowly sweep the laser back and
forth respectively up and down over the desired
target point - see figure {I, J} - (e.g. a corner in the
room).
Press DIST - key {A, 1} again and the continuous
measurement will be stopped. The values for
maximum and minimum distances are shown in the
display as well as the last measured value in the main
line.
Functions
Addition/Subtraction
To add or subtract two or more measurements simply
works as follows:
Measurement +/- Measurement +/- Measure-
ment +/- …. = RESULT
Pressing the EQUAL - key {A, 5} ends the sequence
and displays the result in the main line; the actual
measurements are scrolled upwards in the display.
Pushing the CLEAR - key {A, 9} undoes the most
recent operation.
Areas and volumes can be added/subtracted in
exactly the same manner.
Area
Press the AREA/VOLUME - key {A, 6} once for the
area function. The corresponding symbol appears in
the display. When both measurements have been
taken the result will be automatically calculated and
displayed in the main line.
Press the AREA/VOLUME - key {A, 6} longer to calcu-
late the circumference {B, 3}. Press the AREA/
VOLUME - key {A, 6} longer again to return to the
previous area measurement.
If you want to measure another area, press AREA/
VOLUME - key {A, 6} again.
Special Function:
Sides to be measured can be made up of several
distances.
If necessary, all sides of your area measurement can
be made up of several partial measurements. Choose
the area mode. Press the PLUS - key {A, 3} or MINUS
- key {A, 13} before you start with the first partial
measurement. Proceed with the first partial measure-
ment by pressing DIST - key {A, 1}. In the display an
addition or subtraction symbol appears. Make the
first partial measurement, press PLUS - key {A, 3} or
MINUS - key {A, 13} and make the second partial
measurement. Unlimited partial measurements can
be summed up or subtracted. To finish the distance
measurement press the EQUAL - key { A, 5}. The
second distance can be made up of partial distances
with the same method. The area result is shown as
usual in the main line.
