Press the measure button 2 [ ] to measure the length
L
1
of the first wall. The surface area is automatically
calculated and displayed in the result line e. The length
measurement value is displayed in the middle and bot-
tom measured-value lines d. The laser remains active.
Press the measure button 2 [ ] to measure the length
L
2
of the second wall. The individual measured value
will display in the bottom line of the measured-value
lines d as indicated by L. L
1
and L
2
will be added to
show the sum of both lengths in the middle line of the
measured-value lines as indicated by L
Σ
. The sum of
both lengths L
Σ
is multiplied to the stored height H.
The total surface area is displayed in result line e.
You can continue with the above measuring actions
and measure any number of lengths L
X
, which are au-
tomatically added and multiplied with height H. The
total surface area in line e keeps on increasing as you
add more walls to the measurement.
The first height measurement H remains the same value
throughout the wall surface measurement calculation.
Stake out function (see figure F)
The stake out function is used to repeatedly measure a
predefined length. The purpose of this could be to cut
material in equal pieces or to set up studs in drywall
construction. The minimum adjustable length is 0.01
ft. and the maximum length is 165 ft.
Press the function button 7 [Func] and use the plus
button 3 [ ] or minus button 8 [ ] to cycle through
the measurement functions until the highlighted
square appears over the indicator for stake out mea-
surement and the word “Stake Out” appears in the
status bar. Select stake out measurement by pressing
the measure button 2 [ ].
Set the desired length by pressing
the function button 7 [Func] to scroll
through the digits you want to change
and by pressing the plus button 3 [ ]
or minus button 8 [ ] to change the
value of each digit.
