4. Setup

4.1 Battery Installation

The BEVA Laser Measure requires two (2) AAA batteries for operation. To install or replace batteries:

1. Locate the battery compartment on the back of the device (Back Splint, component 12 in Image 2.1).
2. Slide the battery compartment cover downwards to open it.
3. Insert two AAA batteries, ensuring the correct polarity (+/-) as indicated inside the compartment.
4. Close the battery compartment cover by sliding it back into place until it clicks securely.

Note: Always use new batteries and dispose of old batteries responsibly. If the device will not be used for an extended period, remove the batteries to prevent leakage.

5.2 Changing Units

Press the Unit Button (component 9) to cycle through the available measurement units: meters (m), inches (in), and feet (ft).

5.3 Single Distance Measurement

1. Power on the device.
2. Aim the laser at the target point.
3. Press the Measurement Button (MEAS) (component 5) once. The measured distance will be displayed instantly.

5.4 Continuous Measurement (MAX/MIN)

This mode allows for dynamic measurement, displaying the maximum and minimum distances as you move the device.

1. Press the Continuous Measurement Button (MAX/MIN) (component 6) once.
2. Move the device slowly towards or away from the target. The display will continuously update the current, maximum, and minimum distances.
3. Press the Continuous Measurement Button (MAX/MIN) again or the Measurement Button (MEAS) to stop.

5.5 Area Measurement

To calculate the area of a rectangular space:

1. Press the Area/Volume/Pythagorean Button (component 2) once until the area icon (a square) appears on the display.
2. Measure the first side (e.g., length) by pressing the Measurement Button (MEAS).
3. Measure the second side (e.g., width) by pressing the Measurement Button (MEAS) again.
4. The device will automatically calculate and display the area.

5.6 Volume Measurement

To calculate the volume of a rectangular space:
