Measuring Area and Volume

(feet, inches, meters)

• With DISTO turned on and laser active, press the        1 time to enter area 

mode or 2 times to enter volume mode.  Visually confirm mode by viewing  
the square (area) or box ( volume) in top left corner of DISTO display.

• Place DISTO against one wall and measure to the opposite wall for length.  

Immediately follow with width for square units or width and height for volume 
units.  Always measure height last in the volume mode.

• DISTO will calculate the total area/volume units and display the result.

SPECIAL FEATURE DISTO Models A5, A6, A8

.    Upon completion of a volume measurement 

press and hold the           button until the DISTO  beeps and recalculates the results to display the 
following:  (This is why it is important to take the height measurment last!) 

9

Perimeter: ideal for baseboards for instance

9

Wall area: perfect for plastering and painting

9

Area: ideal e.g. for flooring, architecture and real estate

9

Volume: important e.g. for air-conditioning and real estate appraisers 

Measuring Area and Volume

All DISTO Models Included

The           button has two functions, area (L X W) and volume (L X W X H)

Note:  Press the CLEAR button if you make a mistake to clear the last  

measurement taken and then proceed again.
