CALIBRATION AND SCANNING IN
EMTP006
MeasureTech Plus™
ELECTRONIC
• Position the unit against the wall.
• Press and hold the "ON/OFF" button on side of
unit. Hold the unit in still position until calibration is
complete (approximately 3 seconds). A single beep
will be generated and "ON" will be shown on the
LCD after calibration is completed.
• Slowly slide the unit horizontally across the wall,
right or left. As you begin to approach the stud, the
bars on the LCD will light up.
• When the word "EDGE" flashes and a continuous
beep is heard, mark location as the first edge.
• Continue scanning beyond the marked spot until
the word "EDGE" disappears on screen. Slide unit in
reverse direction to locate the other stud edge.
• Mark this second spot. The middle of the 2 spots is
the stud center.
NOTE: Because of the powerful scanning capability
of this tool, be sure to mark the two edges of the
stud. The two marks may indicate wider than actual
stud width, but center of stud will be between the
two marks.
MEASUREMENT PROCEDURES
• The unit functions as a distance
measurer with the top edge as
the measurement base, and is
to be held upside down.
The LCD will automatically
adapt to this orientation
and show reading accordingly.
• Select the measurement unit.
TURNING ON THE UNIT
• Point the bottom of the unit perpendicular to the
target. The laser will show where the unit is pointing
and is "ON" only while reading is being taken.
• Caution: Do not stare directly at the laser beam.
Hold the unit above or below eye level.
FEATURES
• Press the "READ" button to take the measurement.
• Hold the "READ"

5). Repeat step one and two for further additions.
6). The result of the addition is shown at the upper
row of the LCD.
7). The 1-digit counter records the number of

2). Press the " x " button.
3). Take the second reading.
4). Press the " x " to get the result of square
measurement (sq. ft / sq. m)
5). Take the third readings.
6). Press the " x " to get the result of cubic
measurement (cu. ft / cu. m)
CHANGING MEASUREMENT
Press the " + " and the " x " buttons simultaneously
to change measurement unit from ft. to m or vise
versa.
HINTS
• Any large obstacle found within ± 5 degrees of
the viewing angle of the unit might be regarded
as the target.
• Hard surfaces usually give more accurate
results.
• To measure small, irregular or soft objects, place
a piece of cardboard on front of the object.
• The unit cannot measure through glass.
INSTALLING THE BATTERY
Measurement
• Slide the door off the back of the unit. Attach
