Operating Instructions
1. Digital Tape Measure Function
Extend the tape measure blade to take measurements. The digital display will show the measurement in real-time. The tape features a strong magnetic, four-side movable hook and double-sided markings for versatility.

2. Laser Distance Meter Function
For longer distances, use the integrated laser distance meter. The laser can measure up to 330ft with an accuracy of ±1/16".
- Point the laser emitter towards the target surface.
- Press the measurement button to activate the laser and obtain a reading.
- The device allows selection of reference points (front, back, or from the tape line) for laser measurements.

3. Green Aligning Laser
The XTAPE1 features a bright green laser for alignment tasks, ideal for cross-surface alignment and precise marking.
- Activate the green laser through the device's menu.
- Use the laser line as a visual guide for leveling or aligning objects.
- The green laser also enables the Live Angle Display feature for measuring angles.

4. Advanced Measuring Functions
- Incremental Measuring: Start measurements from "0" at any position on the tape. This allows for easy calculation-free measurements of successive segments.
- 1/N Line Split: Automatically divides a line into N equal segments, useful for evenly spacing objects or finding the center of a line.
- Quick Distance Estimation (P2P): Measure distances between any two points from a single location using P2P technology.
- Internal Measurements: Acquire inside lengths with rear reference, offering fast and accurate internal measurements.
