• Release Button: For retracting the manual tape measure.
• Laser Emission: Point from which the laser beam is emitted for distance measurements.
• Measurement Benchmarks/Unit Switching Button: Toggles the measurement reference point (front/rear) and switches between measurement units (Ft/Ft+in/in/M).
• "MEAS" Button (Turn on or Measurement): Powers on the device and initiates laser measurements.
• "+/-" Pushbuttons: Used for adding or subtracting measurements, or navigating menu options.
• "OFF/CLEAR" Button: Powers off the device or clears the current measurement.
• LCD Screen: Displays measurement results, battery status, units, and mode indicators.
• USB Type-C Charging Port: For recharging the internal battery.
• Belt Clip: For convenient carrying.
• Magnetic Swivel Hook: Located at the end of the tape, facilitates precise internal and external measurements.

Setup

1. Initial Charging

Before first use, fully charge the device. Connect the included USB Type-C cable to the charging port on the device and plug the other end into a standard USB power adapter (not included) or a computer USB port.

The battery indicator on the LCD screen will show charging status. A full charge allows for approximately 5000 measurements.

2. Powering On/Off

• To power on: Press the "MEAS" button.
• To power off: Press and hold the "OFF/CLEAR" button. The device will also automatically power off after a period of inactivity to conserve battery.

Operating Instructions

1. Manual Tape Measure Usage

The integrated 16 ft (5m) manual tape measure functions like a standard tape. Pull the blade out to the desired length. The blade features both imperial (feet/inches) and metric (cm/mm) markings for versatility. Use the blade lock button to hold the tape in place.

The magnetic swivel hook at the end of the tape allows for accurate internal and external measurements. For external measurements, hook the end onto the edge of the object. For internal measurements, push the hook against the inside corner; the hook's thickness is automatically compensated for.

2. Laser Measurement Usage

The laser measure provides highly accurate digital readings up to 197 ft (60m). Ensure the laser emitter is unobstructed.

Changing Measurement Units

Press the "Measurement Benchmarks/Unit Switching" button to cycle through available units: feet (ft), feet+inches (ft+in), inches (in), and meters (m).

Changing Reference Point

The laser measurement can be taken from the front or rear of the device. Press and hold the "Measurement Benchmarks/Unit Switching" button to toggle the reference point. An icon on the LCD will indicate the current reference point (e.g., an arrow pointing from the front or rear of the device).

It shows how the ruler hook adjusts for zero scale in tape measurement and how the laser reference point can be adjusted to the front or rear of the device for accurate readings, especially when an obstruction is present.

Measurement Modes

The device supports several laser measurement modes:

• Single Distance Measurement:
  1. Press "MEAS" once to activate the laser.
  2. Aim the laser at the target point.
  3. Press "MEAS" again to take the measurement. The result will appear on the LCD.
• Continuous Measurement:
  1. From single distance mode, press and hold "MEAS" for a few seconds. The device will enter continuous measurement mode, displaying real-time distance as you move.
  2. Press "MEAS" again to stop.
• Area Measurement:
  1. Press the "Area, Volume, Pythagoras" button until the area icon (rectangle) appears on the LCD.
  2. Take the first measurement (e.g., length) by pressing "MEAS".
  3. Take the second measurement (e.g., width) by pressing "MEAS". The device will automatically calculate and display the area.
• Volume Measurement:
  1. Press the "Area, Volume, Pythagoras" button until the volume icon (cube) appears on the LCD.
  2. Take three consecutive measurements (length, width, height) by pressing "MEAS" after each. The device will calculate and display the volume.
• Pythagorean Measurement (2-point):
  1. Press the "Area, Volume, Pythagoras" button until the 2-point Pythagorean icon appears.
  2. Measure the hypotenuse (diagonal distance).
  3. Measure one leg (horizontal or vertical distance). The device will calculate the other leg (e.g., height).
• Pythagorean Measurement (3-point):
  1. Press the "Area, Volume, Pythagoras" button until the 3-point Pythagorean icon appears.
  2. Follow the on-screen prompts to take three measurements to determine an unknown height or distance in more complex scenarios.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the device. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the device in water. Ensure the laser lens and display are kept clean for accurate readings.
• Storage: Store the device in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Battery Care: Recharge the battery regularly, even if the device is not in frequent use, to maintain battery health. Avoid fully discharging the battery for extended periods.
• Blade Inspection: Periodically inspect the manual tape blade for any signs of wear, kinks, or damage.
