1. Single Measurement: Press the Single Measurement / Unit Switch Button once to emit the laser, then press again to take a single distance measurement.
2. Continuous Measurement (Tracking): In this mode, the device continuously measures and displays the distance as you move it. This is useful for finding minimum/maximum distances or for real-time positioning.
3. Area Measurement:
   1. Select Area mode.
   2. Measure the length.
   3. Measure the width.
   4. The device will automatically calculate and display the area.
4. Volume Measurement:
   1. Select Volume mode.
   2. Measure the length.
   3. Measure the width.
   4. Measure the height.
   5. The device will automatically calculate and display the volume.
5. Pythagorean Measurement (Indirect Measurement): Used to calculate inaccessible distances using the Pythagorean theorem.
   1. Select Pythagorean mode (e.g., two-point or three-point).
   2. Follow the on-screen prompts to measure the required sides (hypotenuse and one leg).
   3. The device will calculate the unknown leg or height.

5.5 Addition and Subtraction

You can add or subtract measurements directly on the device.
