3.1 Length Measurement

This is the default mode for single distance measurements.

1. Ensure the device is powered on.
2. Point the laser beam at the target surface.
3. Press the Measurement Button once. The measured distance will appear on the display.

3.2 Continuous Measurement (Tracking)

This mode allows for dynamic measurement, displaying real-time distance as you move the device.

1. Press the FUNC button until the continuous measurement icon (often a series of horizontal lines or a tracking symbol) appears on the display.
2. Press the Measurement Button to start continuous measurement.
3. Move the device slowly towards or away from the target. The display will update the distance continuously.
4. Press the Measurement Button again or the C button to stop continuous measurement.

3.3 Area Measurement

To calculate the area of a rectangular space (Length x Width).

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

3.4 Volume Measurement

To calculate the volume of a rectangular space (Length x Width x Height).

1. Press the FUNC button until the volume measurement icon (a cube or rectangular prism) appears.
2. Measure the first side (e.g., length) by pointing the laser and pressing the Measurement Button.
3. Measure the second side (e.g., width) by pointing the laser and pressing the Measurement Button.
4. Measure the third side (e.g., height) by pointing the laser and pressing the Measurement Button.
5. The device will automatically calculate and display the volume.
