mode. Other measuring modes can be switched to by
pressing the respective function/mode button (see
"Measuring Functions", page 22).
After switching on, the rear edge of the measuring tool
is preset as the reference level for the measurement.
By pressing the reference level button 10, the refer-
ence level can be changed (see "Selecting the Refer-
ence Level", page 21).
Place the measuring tool with the selected reference
plane against the desired starting point of the meas-
urement (e.g. a wall).
Briefly press the measuring button 2 to switch on the
laser beam.
Do not point the laser beam at persons or an-
imals and do not look into the laser beam
yourself, not even from a large distance.
Aim the laser beam at the target surface. Briefly press
the measuring button 2 again to initate the measure-
ment.
When the laser beam is switched on permanently, the
measurement already starts after the first actuation of
the measuring button 2. In continuous measurement
mode, the measurement starts immediately upon
switching on.
Typically, the measured value appears after 0.5 and
latest after 4 seconds. The duration of the measure-
ment depends on the distance, the light conditions
and the reflection properties of the target surface. The
end of the measurement is indicated by a signal tone.
The laser beam is switched off automatically upon
completion of the measurement.
When no measurement takes place approx.
20 seconds after collimating, the measuring tool auto-
matically switches off to save the battery.
Selecting the Reference Level
(see figure A)
For the measurement, you can select between four
reference planes:
– The rear edge of the measuring tool or the front
edge of the 90° folded-out positioning pin 9 (e.g.
when measuring onward from outer corners),
– The tip of the 180° folded-out positioning pin 9
(e.g. when measuring from a corner),
– The front measuring-tool edge (e.g. when measur-
ing onward from a table edge),
– The centre of thread 19 (e.g. for tripod measure-
ments).
To select the reference level, press button 10 until the
requested reference level is indicated on the display.
Each time after switching on the measuring tool, the
rear end of the measuring tool is preset as the refer-
ence level.
2 609 140 906 • 16.2.12
Subsequent changing of the reference level for meas-
urements that have already been carried out (e.g.
when indicating measuring values in the measured-
value list) is not possible.
