7.4.2 Measuring distances step by step
The range meter measures distances in a
very short time and, when doing so, shows
various information in the display.
1. Switch on the range meter by pressing
the "On" key.
2. Press the "Measure" key once. This
switches on the red laser beam which
is visible as a laser spot on the target
surface. The display shows this aiming
mode as an animated dashed line

3. Aim to the target.
4. Press the "Measure" key once again
to measure the distance.
The result appears in the result line
normally in less than a second. The laser
beam switches off.
If further measurements are taken, up to
three previously determined distances are
shown in the intermediate result lines,
i.e. a total of the last four measured
distances are shown.
7.4.3 Measuring mode
Two different measuring modes are
available to measure distances. These are
single distance measurement and
continuous distance measurement. The
continuous measurement mode is used for
setting out given distances or offsets and
is also used where distance measurements
are more difficult, e.g. to corners, edges,
niches, etc.
