How to use

Turn the device on and aim the laser at the target point. Press the measurement button to capture a single distance reading; the result will appear on the display. For area or volume, select the corresponding mode and follow the on-screen prompts to measure the required edges sequentially. Use the indirect height measurement functions when direct line-of-sight measurement is not possible. Ensure the reference plate or backing is positioned correctly when measuring from edges or corners.

Usage recommendations

For best results, stabilize the instrument when taking long-range readings, keep the lens and laser aperture clean, and allow the device to warm to operating temperature if moved from extreme cold or heat. Verify measurement mode before recording values and cross-check critical dimensions with a secondary measurement when necessary.
