3.2 Powering On/Off
- To power on the device, briefly press the ON button for 1-2 seconds.
- To power off the device, press and hold the C/OFF button. The device will also automatically power off after 30 seconds of inactivity to conserve battery.
4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Basic Distance Measurement
- Power on the device.
- Point the laser beam at the target surface.
- Press the ON button once to emit the laser.
- Press the ON button again to take a measurement. The distance will be displayed on the LCD.
4.2 Angular Measurement
The device features an electronic horizontal version angular measure, useful for tasks like hanging pictures or civil work. The angle measurement is continuously displayed on the top right of the LCD screen when the device is active.
- To view the angle, simply power on the device. The angle will be shown on the display.
- For a constant angle reading, press and hold the ON button for 2 seconds.

4.4 Area and Volume Measurement
The XPR3SS W80X can calculate area and volume. Refer to the on-screen prompts or the device's specific mode button (if available, not explicitly detailed in provided data) to enter these measurement modes. Typically, you will take multiple distance measurements (e.g., length and width for area, or length, width, and height for volume), and the device will automatically calculate and display the result.
5. Maintenance
5.1 Cleaning
- Wipe the device with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Ensure the laser lens is clean and free of dust or debris for accurate measurements.
