x
distance is displayed.
To ensure a correct reading, repeat the measurement until
x
you get at least 2 of the same readings within 3 attempts.
For successful measuring results, consider the following
x
conditions:
- The measured object surface must be flat and hard.
- Distance measuring through glass is not possible.
- When the distance is out of the work range, the tool
will beep and register an error.
