Changing the End Piece
The unit is provided with two different end pieces.
The compact end piece
17
reduces the dimensions of the unit. It is suit-
able for measurements for which the rear end of the unit can rest on a flat
surface.
The universal end piece
18
is suitable for measurements from corners,
e.g. to determine the diagonals of a room.

With the aid of the positioning extension
27
on the universal end piece
18
, the unit can be placed on an edge (see Fig.
). For this purpose,
pull up the flap
25
with the grips
24
and fold out the positioning ex-
tension
27
.

If the rear end of the unit is to be placed on a flat surface, fold in the
positioning extension
27

For measuring from corners, fold in the positioning extension

press the unlocking button
26
and allow the flap
25
to relatch.
To change the end piece, press the latches
19
on both sides and remove
the end piece. Insert the new end piece.
The unit takes automatically into consideration the different lengths of the
end pieces when measuring (measurement in both cases from the rear
end of the unit).
Bubble Level
The bubble level makes possible the easy horizontal alignment of the unit.
The bubble level
3
can be attached on the right or left of the display
8
on
the housing. Attach the bubble level with the lower end of the holder first.
Measurements with a Tripod
Measurements with a tripod are especially necessary for long distances.
The unit can be screwed onto a camera tripod with the 1/4" threads
20
on the underside of the housing.
☞
Also with the use of a tripod, the unit measures from its rear
end and not from the middle of the threads.
By means of transit measurement, distances of up to 300 m/984 ft (two
times 150 m/492 ft) can also be measured.
Length Measurements
Press the length measuring button
2
to switch to the mode for length
measurements. The symbol for length measurements appears in the up-
per part of the display.
To measure, press the measure button
7
completely down.
The measured value is shown at the bottom of
the display.
