4. Setup
Battery Installation:
- Locate the battery compartment on the device.
- Open the compartment cover.
- Insert the Lithium-ion battery, ensuring correct polarity.
- Close the battery compartment cover securely.
Powering On/Off:
- To Power On: Press and hold the green Power/Measure button until the display illuminates.
- To Power Off: Press and hold the CLR/OFF button or the green Power/Measure button until the display turns off. The device also features an automatic shut-off function after a period of inactivity to conserve battery life.
5. Basic Operation
Single Distance Measurement:
- Power on the device.
- Point the laser at the target surface.
- Press the green Power/Measure button briefly. The laser will activate, and the measured distance will appear on the display.
Measurement Reference Point:
The device can measure from its front or rear edge. Ensure you select the correct reference point for accurate measurements. The display typically shows an icon indicating the current reference point.

- M1+M2: Adds two measured distances.
- M (Linear): Standard single distance measurement.
- MIN/MAX: Measures the minimum or maximum distance in continuous measurement mode.
- M² (Area): Calculates the area from two measured lengths.
- M³ (Volume): Calculates the volume from three measured lengths.
7. Maintenance
Cleaning:
- Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the device's exterior.
- Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Clean the laser lens carefully with a soft, lint-free cloth to ensure accurate measurements.
