  1. Single Distance Measurement:
    • Select the single distance mode.
    • Point the laser at the target and press the Measure button (symbol: triangle pointing up). The distance will be displayed.
  2. Continuous Measurement (Tracking):
    • Select continuous measurement mode.
    • The device will continuously measure and display the current distance as you move it. This mode also shows maximum and minimum values.
  3. Area Measurement:
    • Select area measurement mode.
    • Measure the length, then the width. The device will automatically calculate and display the area.
  4. Volume Measurement:
    • Select volume measurement mode.
    • Measure the length, width, then height. The device will automatically calculate and display the volume.
  5. Pythagorean Theorem Measurement (Indirect Measurement):
    • Select one of the Pythagorean modes (e.g., single Pythagorean for height).
    • Follow the on-screen prompts to measure the required sides (hypotenuse, base). The device will calculate the unknown side.

Reference Point Adjustment

The DT100 allows you to set the measurement reference point from either the front or the back of the device.

  • Press the Reference Point button (symbol: device icon with arrow) to toggle between front and back reference points. The current reference point is indicated on the display.

Maintenance

  • Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the device. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the device in water.
  • Storage: Store the device in its protective pouch in a cool, dry place when not in use. Remove batteries if storing for extended periods to prevent leakage.
  • Laser Safety: Do not stare directly into the laser beam. Avoid pointing the laser at people or animals. This is a Class 2 laser product.
