) briefly. - To power off: Press and hold the Power/Backlight button for approximately 3 seconds. The device will also automatically power off after a period of inactivity to conserve battery.
5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Basic Measurement (Single Measurement)
- Power on the device.
- Point the laser beam at the target surface.
- Press the Single measurement / Unit switch button () once. The measurement will be displayed instantly.
5.2 Continuous Measurement
- Press and hold the Single measurement / Unit switch button (
) for approximately 2 seconds. The device will enter continuous measurement mode, displaying real-time distance updates as you move. - Press the Single measurement / Unit switch button again to exit continuous measurement.
5.3 Unit Switching
To change the measurement unit (meters, inches, feet), briefly press the Single measurement / Unit switch button () while the device is idle (not actively measuring). The unit will cycle through m, in, ft.
5.4 Benchmark Switching (Front/Rear Datum)
The device allows you to select the measurement reference point: either from the front edge of the device or the rear edge. This is crucial for accurate measurements depending on your placement of the tool.

To switch the benchmark, press the Function / Front/rear reference button () briefly. An icon on the display will indicate the currently selected reference point.
5.5 Multiple Measurement Modes
The AquilaPro KL02100 supports various measurement functions for different applications.
Image: Visual representation of the different measurement modes available on the device, including single, continuous, area, volume, Pythagorean, and addition/subtraction.
To cycle through measurement modes, press the Function / Front/rear reference button () repeatedly until the desired mode icon appears on the display.
- Length Measurement: Standard single or continuous measurement.
- Area Measurement: Measure two sides (length and width) to calculate the area.
- Volume Measurement: Measure three sides (length, width, height) to calculate the volume.
- Pythagorean Measurement (Indirect Measurement): Used to calculate inaccessible distances (e.g., height of a building) by measuring two or three other distances. Follow the on-screen prompts for each segment measurement.
- Addition/Subtraction: Add or subtract measurements.
