1. Introduction
The MiLESEEY DT20 combines a laser distance meter with a digital readout tape measure in one device, offering versatile measurement capabilities for various applications.
This augmented tool measures directly your target length and outputs digital area/volume measurements. It allows for alternative use of tape data for short distances and laser mode for long distances to obtain accurate values efficiently. A tape lock mechanism prevents accidental slipping.

4. Operating Modes
4.1 Digital Tape Measure
Pull out the physical tape measure. The MiLESEEY's patented PowerBrust Digital Display technology will show real-time precise figures on the screen as you extend the tape. The 16FT Digital Tape Measure offers an accuracy of up to ±1/16 inch.
4.2 Laser Distance Measurement
Press the 'MEAS' button to activate the laser. Point the laser at your target. Press 'MEAS' again to take a measurement. The 130FT Laser Distance Measure provides accuracy up to ±1/8 inch. The laser is Class II (<1mW) for safety.
4.3 Area and Volume Measurement
The DT20 supports area and volume calculations. Use the 'UNIT' button to cycle through measurement modes until the area (square icon) or volume (cube icon) mode is selected. Follow the on-screen prompts to take the necessary length, width, and height measurements using either the tape or laser, and the device will automatically calculate the result.
4.4 Unit Switching and Measurement Datum
Press the 'UNIT' button to switch between different measurement units (feet, inches, meters). Hold the 'UNIT' button for 1 second to change the measurement datum (pre-datum from the front of the device or post-datum from the back of the device). This applies to all measurement types.
