Leica DISTO D810 touch Frequently Asked Questions Manual page 4

▪
Can I enter a value that is constantly added / subtracted to my measured value? (Offset)
Yes, in the "Settings" you can go to the "Offset Icon" and enter a value that will constantly be added /
subtracted from your measured distance value. If an offset value is entered you will see the adequate symbol
- a triangle with plus or respectively minus - next to the laser symbol.
-> If you want to set the offset value back to zero, enter the setting "Offset" and reset it.
▪
What is the Long Range (LR) Mode?
For long distances under unfavourable conditions (e.g. long distances and very bright sunlight) we
recommend to use the special integrated Long Range (LR) Mode . To select the mode please enter the menu
and select the "LR Mode". If the "LR Mode" is turned on in the menu you will see the letter "LR" right next to
the laser symbol. This mode will allow you to make measurements that were not possible before because
most of the time you would receive the info code "i255" (too less signal). When using this special Long Range
(LR) Mode the measuring time increases (it may take up to 7sec). For stability it is recommended to use a
tripod when having the Long Range (LR) Mode turned on.
▪
How do I know if the device is still measuring in the digital Pointfinder mode?
When using the digital Pointfinder in any function, especially in the Long Range (LR) Mode, you will see a
clock icon on the top of the display. The clock stays in the display until the measurement is finished. Please
do not move the device before!
▪
How can I get one extra year of warranty for the Leica DISTO™ D810 touch?
Our standard warranty of 2 years can be extended by one additional year if you register your device on our
website www.disto.com within eight weeks of the purchase date. If the product is not registered, a two year
warranty applies.

What does it mean when I attempt a measurement but the unit shows a number on the display versus
my measured value?
This is a message code. The numbers are displayed if a successful measurement could not be performed.
