3. Push  for the first distance (diagonal) measurement.
4. Point the laser at the second target (2).
Make sure that the Meter is perpendicular to the wall.
5. Push  for the second distance.
6. Point the laser at the third (3) target.
7. Push  for the third distance measurement.
The Meter shows the result in the summary line. The
measured distance to the subsequent measurement shows
in the second line.
To find a partial distance with three measurements
(Pythagoras 3):
1. Push  3x. The laser turns on and j shows on the display.
2. Point at the top target (1). See Figure 14.

3. Push . The Meter stores this measurement value.
4. Point the laser at the second diagonal target (2).
5. Push  for the second distance measurement.
Make sure that the Meter is perpendicular to the wall.
6. Push  to trigger the bottom target (3) measurement.
The result is the partial vertical distance between target 1
and target 2. The third measurement shows in the secondary
line.
As an option, use the tracking mode on one or more targets. To
use tracking mode:
1. Push and hold  for 2 seconds to start tracking mode.
2. Move the laser side to side and up and down on the ideal
horizontal target point.
3. Push  to stop the tracking mode.
