5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Basic Distance Measurement
To take a single distance measurement:
- Point the laser at the desired target.
- Press the ON/DIST button once. The laser dot will appear.
- Press the ON/DIST button again to take the measurement. The result will be displayed on the screen.
5.2 Advanced Measurement Modes
The D810 Touch offers various advanced functions accessible via the FUNC button or touch screen menu:
- Area/Volume Measurement: Take two measurements for area (length, width) or three for volume (length, width, height). The device automatically calculates the result.
- Measure in Picture (MIP): Use the integrated camera to take a photo. Then, use the on-screen pointers to define the object's dimensions (e.g., height, width, diameter) within the picture. The device calculates the dimensions remotely.
- Indirect Measurement (Pythagoras): Measure distances indirectly using the Pythagorean theorem, useful for inaccessible points.
- Smart Horizontal Mode: Measures horizontal distances even if obstacles block the direct line of sight, using the tilt sensor.
- Height Tracking: Continuously measures heights from a fixed point.

6. Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and accuracy of your Leica DISTO D810 Touch:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the device. Never use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning agents. The optical components (laser lens, camera lens) should be cleaned with a soft, lint-free cloth, similar to cleaning camera lenses.
- Storage: Store the device in its protective holster in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid extreme temperatures and direct sunlight.
- Battery Care: Fully charge the battery before long periods of storage. If storing for extended periods, charge the battery every few months to maintain its health.
- Avoid Drops: While robust, avoid dropping the device, especially on hard surfaces, as this can affect its calibration and internal components.
