5.3 Using the Laser Measure

The laser measure can measure distances up to 40 meters (131.2 feet).

1. Ensure the device is powered on.
2. Point the laser emitter towards the target surface.
3. Press the ON / START button once to activate the laser.
4. Press the ON / START button again to take a measurement. The distance will be displayed on the screen.

5.4 Measurement Modes

The device supports various measurement modes:

• Distance Measurement: Standard single or continuous measurement of length.
• Area Measurement: Measure two sides (length and width) to calculate the area.
• Volume Measurement: Measure three sides (length, width, and height) to calculate the volume.
• Pythagorean Measurement: Use indirect measurement to calculate height or distance based on two other measurements (e.g., for inaccessible points).

To switch between modes, press the Mode button (if available, otherwise refer to the +/- button for multi-functionality or specific icons on screen). The display will show the active mode icon.
