Upon selection of the measuring function and the reference
level, all further steps are carried out by pushing the measur-
ing button 10.
With the reference level selected, place the measuring tool
against the desired measuring line (e.g. a wall).
Push the measuring button 10 to switch on the laser beam.
 Do not point the laser beam at persons or animals and
do not look into the laser beam yourself, not even from
a large distance.
Aim the laser beam at the target surface. Push the measuring
button 10 again to initiate the measurement.
When the laser beam is switched on permanently and in the
minimum and maximum measurement modes, the measure-
ment already starts upon first actuation of the measuring but-
ton 10.
The measured value typically appears after 0.5 seconds and
at the latest after 4 seconds. The duration of the measure-
ment depends on the distance, the light conditions and the re-
flection properties of the target surface. The end of the meas-
urement is indicated by a signal tone. The laser beam is
switched off automatically upon completion of the measure-
ment.
When no measurement has taken place approx. 20 seconds
after sighting, the laser beam is switched off automatically to
save the batteries.
Selecting the Reference Level (see figures B –E)
For measuring, it is possible to select from four different
reference levels:
– the rear edge of the measuring tool (e.g., when placing the
measuring tool flush against a wall),
– the rear edge of the positioning pin 15 (e.g., for measure-
ments out of corners).
– the front edge of the measuring tool (e.g., as when mea-
suring from the edge of a table onward),
– the thread 17 (e.g., for measuring with the tripod).
To select the reference level, press button 1 until the request-
ed reference level is indicated on the display. Each time after
switching on the measuring tool, the rear end of the measur-
ing tool is preset as the reference level.
Continuous Laser Beam
If required, the measuring tool can also be switched to the
continuous laser beam mode. For this, push the button for
continuous laser beam 13. "LASER" lights up continuously in
the display.
 Do not point the laser beam at persons or animals and
do not look into the laser beam yourself, not even from
a large distance.
In this setting, the laser beam also remains switched on be-
tween measurements; for measuring, it is only required to
push the measuring button 10 once.
To switch off the continuous laser beam, push button 13
again or switch the measuring tool off. When switching on
again, the measuring tool is in the standard operation mode
and the laser beam appears only after pushing the measuring
button 10.

Measuring Functions

Length Measurement
For length measurements, press button 5 until the indicator
for length measurement appears on the display.
Push the measuring button 10
once for sighting and once more to
take the measurement.
The measured value is indicated at
the bottom in the display.
Area Measurement
For area/surface measurements, press button 5 until the indi-
cator for area measurement appears on the display.
Afterwards, measure the length and the width, one after an-
other, in the same manner as a length measurement. The laser
beam remains switched on between both measurements.
After taking the second measure-
ment, the area/surface is automat-
ically calculated and displayed.
The last individual measured value
is indicated at the bottom in the
display, while the final result is
shown at the top.
Volume Measurement
For volume measurements, press button 5 until the indicator
for volume measurement appears on the display.
Afterwards, measure the length, width and the height, one af-
ter another, in the same manner as for a length measurement.
The laser beam remains switched on between all three meas-
urements.
After taking the third measure-
ment, the volume is automatically
calculated and displayed. The last
individual measured value is indi-
cated at the bottom in the display,
while the final result is shown at
the top.

Values above 99999 m cannot be indicated; "Error" and
"––––" appear on the display. Divide the volume to be
measured into individual measurements; their values can
then be calculated separately and then summarized.
Minimum Measurement (see figure F)
The minimum measurement is used to determine the shortest
distance from a fixed reference point. It is used, as an exam-
ple, for determining plumb lines or horizontal partitions.
For minimum measurements, press button 4 until "MIN" ap-
pears in the display.
To start the measurement, press the measuring button 10.
The indicator for continuous measurement
display.
Move the laser back and forth over the requested target (e.g.,
the opposing wall for determining the room width) in such a
manner that the reference point of the measurement (e.g.,
the tip of the positioning pin 15) always remains at the same
location.
