3. Press the "DIST" button. The laser will activate, and the measurement will be displayed on the screen.
4. The measurement will typically appear on the main line of the display.

6.2 Measurement Reference Points

The Umarex T2 allows you to select from three different reference points for your measurements:

• Front: Measurement starts from the front edge of the device. Ideal for measuring from edges or corners.
• Tripod: Measurement starts from the tripod mounting point. Use this when the device is mounted on a tripod.
• Rear: Measurement starts from the rear edge of the device. This is the standard setting for most measurements.

To switch between reference points, refer to the on-screen indicator and the device's specific button combination (usually a short press of the power button or a dedicated reference button, if available, not explicitly detailed in product info but implied by "3 levels of measurement").

6.3 Using with a Tripod

The device is equipped with a standard 1/4" tripod thread for stable and precise measurements, especially over longer distances or when using the tripod reference point.

1. Screw the device onto a compatible tripod.
2. Ensure the tripod reference point is selected in the device settings for accurate readings.
