DISTANCE MEASUREMENT
To measure the distance to an object, it must be
perfectly targeted. To do this, activate the target mark
by pressing the main button (2) once. The target mark
remains lit for about 4 seconds after letting the main
button go. If the button is kept pressed, the target
mark remains lit.
While the target mark is lit, aim the Leica Pinmaster at
the object and press the main button a sec ond time;
the distance is then measured and displayed. The target
mark disappears briefly during the
measurement. A new measurement can be made at
any time, as long as the target mark is lit, by pressing
the main button once again. If the object is less than
10 m/11yds away, out of range, or does not provide
enough reflection, then
_ _ _
appears on the display.
The Leica Pinmaster switches itself off as soon as the
display disappears.
SCAN MODE
With the Leica Pinmaster, continuous measurements
can also be made: If the main button (2) is held down
the second time it is pressed, the unit switches to
scan mode after approx. 0.5 seconds and then takes
continuous measurements. This is indicated by the
changing display: a new measured value is produced
around every 0.5 seconds. Scan mode is particularly
practical when measuring to flagsticks or other smaller
targets.
Note:
In scan mode, due to the constant measurements, the
power consumption is greater than for single
measurements.
