3. Setup

3.1 Battery Installation

The ENGiNDOT HS-60 requires two 1.5V AAA Alkaline batteries. Follow these steps to install them:

1. Locate the battery compartment cover on the back of the device.
2. Slide or unclip the cover to open the compartment.
3. Insert the two AAA batteries, ensuring the correct polarity (+ and -) as indicated inside the compartment.
4. Close the battery compartment cover securely.

4. Operating the Device

4.1 Power On/Off

• To Power On: Press the READ button. The laser will activate.
• To Power Off: Press and hold the OFF/CLEAR button for a few seconds. The device will also automatically power off after 150 seconds of inactivity.

4.2 Changing Measurement Units

The device supports four measurement units: meters (m), inches (in), feet (ft), and feet+inches (ft+in).

• To Change Units: Long press the UNIT button (often labeled with 'U' or a unit symbol) to cycle through the available units. Release the button when the desired unit is displayed.

4.3 Basic Distance Measurement

1. Ensure the device is powered on and the laser is active.
2. Point the laser beam at the target point from which you want to measure the distance.
3. Press the READ button once. The measured distance will be displayed on the screen.

5.1 Single Distance Measurement

This is the default mode for measuring a single distance between two points. (Refer to section 4.3).

5.2 Continuous Measurement (Tracking)

In this mode, the device continuously measures and displays the distance as you move it. It also shows the minimum and maximum distances recorded during the continuous measurement.

1. Press the MODE button until the continuous measurement icon appears (often a moving line or similar).
2. Move the device slowly towards or away from the target. The display will update in real-time.
3. Press READ to stop continuous measurement.

5.3 Area Measurement

This mode calculates the area of a rectangular surface.

1. Press the MODE button until the area icon appears (a square or rectangle).
2. Measure the first side (e.g., length) by pressing READ.
3. Measure the second side (e.g., width) by pressing READ again.
4. The device will automatically calculate and display the area.

5.4 Volume Measurement

This mode calculates the volume of a rectangular space.

1. Press the MODE button until the volume icon appears (a cube or cuboid).
2. Measure the length by pressing READ.
3. Measure the width by pressing READ.
4. Measure the height by pressing READ.
5. The device will automatically calculate and display the volume.

5.5 Pythagorean Measurement

The Pythagorean mode allows indirect measurement of heights or distances using the Pythagorean theorem. There are typically several variations (e.g., two-point, three-point).

1. Press the MODE button until a Pythagorean icon appears (a triangle).
2. Follow the on-screen prompts or diagram to measure the required sides (e.g., hypotenuse, base).
3. Ensure the device is held steady and level for accurate results, especially for indirect measurements.
4. The device will calculate and display the unknown side.

6. Data Management

The ENGiNDOT HS-60 can store up to 30 groups of measurement data, allowing you to review previous readings.

6.1 Storing Data

Measurements are typically stored automatically after each calculation in most modes. The device will indicate when data is saved.

6.2 Recalling Data

1. Press the SAVE/RECALL button (often labeled with a folder or memory icon).
2. Use the +/- buttons to navigate through the stored records.
3. Press the SAVE/RECALL button again to exit data recall mode.

6.3 Clearing Data

To clear the current measurement on the display, press the OFF/CLEAR button once. To clear all stored data, consult the device's specific instructions, as this often involves a long press of a specific button or a menu option.
