4. TAPE KING’S FUNCTIONS
4.1. MEASUREMENT
In order to activate the Tape King press and hold KEY #1 (ON/OFF key) until
you hear the starting theme and the announcement ‘0 millimeter’. If the tape was
not retracted properly Tape King will announce “Tape is not in the case!” After
pulling the tape end for a little distance press the retraction button (the ribbed
button above the tape end) until the tape is completely retracted.
With the Tape King turned on and ready for use the procedure for measuring is
as follows:
Press KEY #1 (ON/OFF key) and you will hear the announcement
“0 inches” respectively “0 millimeters” which shows you that the tape is
completely retracted and ready for use.
Pull the tape end forward as far as required. You will hear the
announcement of the exact length.
4.2. MEASUREMENTS WITH AND WITHOUT THE CASE
Sometimes you will need to carry out measurements including the Tape
King’s case (e.g. within door-frames or inside closets). Tape King offers
you this possibility at the press of a button.
Pull the tape end forward as far as required. With a short simultaneous
press onto the KEY #1 (ON/OFF) and the KEY #4 (MENU key) Tape King
will announce the value measured “with case”.
Caution:
In case of the Tape Kings announcement “Tape is not
in the case!” first pull the tape out for a couple of inches and then
press the tape retract button in order to completely retract the
tape into the case.
