5.2 Power On/Off

• Power On: Press the DIST button (red button) once to turn on the device and activate the laser.
• Power Off: Press and hold the CLEAR/OFF button (black button) for approximately 2 seconds to turn off the device. The device will also automatically shut off after 90 seconds of inactivity to conserve battery life.

5.3 Unit Selection

To change the measurement units (e.g., meters, feet, inches), press the UNITS button (white button with 'UNITS' text) repeatedly until the desired unit is displayed on the screen.

6. Measurement Functions

The Imex Bullseye 30 offers several measurement modes. Press the FUNCTION button (white button with box icon) to cycle through the available modes.

6.1 Single Length Measurement

1. Ensure the device is in single length measurement mode (default mode, typically indicated by a single line on the display).
2. Aim the laser beam at the target point.
3. Press the DIST button once. The measurement will be displayed instantly.

6.2 Area Measurement

To calculate the area of a rectangular space:

1. Press the FUNCTION button until the area icon (rectangle) appears on the display.
2. Measure the first side (e.g., length) by pressing DIST.
3. Measure the second side (e.g., width) by pressing DIST again.
4. The device will automatically calculate and display the area.

6.3 Cubic (Volume) Measurement

To calculate the volume of a space:

1. Press the FUNCTION button until the volume icon (cube) appears on the display.
2. Measure the length by pressing DIST.
3. Measure the width by pressing DIST.
4. Measure the height by pressing DIST.
5. The device will automatically calculate and display the volume.

6.4 Indirect Measurement (Pythagorean Theorem)

This mode allows you to measure inaccessible heights or distances using the Pythagorean theorem. The device typically supports two-point or three-point indirect measurements.

1. Press the FUNCTION button until the indirect measurement icon (triangle) appears. The display will show which sides need to be measured.
2. Follow the on-screen prompts to measure the required distances (e.g., hypotenuse and base for height calculation). Ensure the device is held level for accurate base measurements.
3. The device will calculate and display the unknown height or distance.

6.5 Stakeout Measurement

The stakeout function helps mark out predefined lengths. This is useful for setting out studs, joists, or other regular intervals.

1. Press the FUNCTION button until the stakeout icon appears (often two parallel lines with arrows).
2. Enter the desired stakeout length using the measurement buttons (refer to device-specific button combinations for inputting values, typically by pressing DIST multiple times or using +/- buttons if available, though not explicitly mentioned for this model).
3. Move the device along the surface. The display will indicate the remaining distance to the next stakeout point, guiding you to the precise location.

7. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and accuracy of your Imex Bullseye 30.

• Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the device. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or immerse the device in water. Pay special attention to keeping the laser lens clean and free of dust.
• Storage: Store the device in its belt pouch in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. If storing for extended periods, remove the batteries to prevent leakage.
• Impact Protection: While robust, avoid dropping the device or subjecting it to strong impacts, as this can affect its calibration and internal components.
