The measurement appears for about 4 minutes (or longer if you press
another key).
ERROR might appear if you try to measure a distance shorter than the set
range of 2 feet (0.61m) or longer than 60 feet (18.288 meters).
Measuring Tips
Some types of curtains and blinds can absorb sound waves, causing
measurements to be inaccurate. If you are measuring distances in a room
with curtains, open the curtains before measuring the distance to a window
behind them. Also, be sure that the window is closed.
If there is not a clear path between the points where you are measuring, you
might receive a false reading from sound waves bouncing off objects such
as chairs, tables and objects with uneven surfaces. If you are not sure if a
measurement is correct, move slightly to one side then measure the
distance again.
If the surface of a wall you are measuring is not solid and flat, of if you are
measuring in a narrow corridor, you might receive a false reading. If this
happens, use a solid surface to measure or move to the center of the
corridor.
To measure a distance longer than 60 feet (18.288meters), select a point in
the middle of the room (for example), measure from the center of the room
toward each side, then add the two measurements.
SAVING A MEASUREMENT
1. Follow the steps under “Taking a Measurement” to measure a dimension.
2. Press STORE then a memory key (M1,M2 or M3). M and the number of the
memory location you chose (1,2 or 3) appear and the measurer stores the
reading in that memory location.
3. If necessary, repeat steps 1 and 2 to save up to three measurements.
