Displaying the Stored Value
Push the memory retrieve button 10 in order to
display the value stored in the memory. "M=" is
by pushing the memory subtract button 3.
The memorized values can only be displayed
in decimal feet or meters.
The reception lens 18 and the laser beam
outlet 17 must not be covered when taking a
measurement.
The Distance Measurer must not be moved
while taking a measurement (with the
exception of the continuous measurement
mode). Therefore, whenever possible, place
the Distance Measurer against or on the
measuring points.
Measurement takes place at the centre of the
laser beam, even when target surfaces are
sighted at an incline.
The measuring range depends upon the light
conditions and the reflection properties of the
target surface. For improved visibility of the
laser beam when working outdoors and when
the sunlight is intense, use the laser viewing
glasses 20 and the laser target plate 21
(optional accessories), or shade off the target
surface.
When measuring against transparent surfaces
(e.g. glass, water) or reflecting surfaces, faulty
measurements are possible. Also, porous or
structured surfaces, air layers with varying
temperatures or indirectly received reflections
can affect the measured value. These effects
are due to physical reasons and can therefore
not be compensated for by the Distance
Measurer.

Sighting with the Alignment Aid
(see figure E)
With the alignment aid 8, sighting over larger
distances is a lot easier. For this, look
alongside the aligning aid on the top side of the
Distance Measurer. The laser beam runs
parallel to this line of sight.
Working with Tripod
The use of a tripod (not included) is particularly
advisable for larger distances because of the
steadiness it provides. The Distance Measurer
tool can be screwed onto a commercially
available tripod using the 1/4" thread 19 on the
bottom side of the housing.
When positioning the tripod, observe that the
measurement will take place beginning from
the rear or front edge of the measuring tool,
depending on the selected reference level.
