4. Aim the Laser Distance Meter so that the laser dot is on the
selected target to measure the length of the base (represented by
“A” in the figure above).
5. Keep your position stable and press the button again. The “A”
and “C” measurements will appear above the main screen. The
indirect height will appear on the main screen (represented by “B”
in the figure above). The laser will turn off.
6. Press the button to clear the display and take your next
2-Point Pythagoras measurement.
3-Point Pythagoras Measurement Mode
Similar to the 2-Point Pythagoras measurement
mode, the 3-Point Pythagoras measurement
mode indirectly measures lengths that are
otherwise not directly measureable.
Typically, the Laser Distance Meter is used to measure a height shown
above as “B” when there is no target at the top surface at which to
aim the laser, such as a tall wall, and it is not possible to aim the laser
from the ground level. The measurement can be taken by standing
back at some distance “A” and taking measurements of “C” and “D”
(on the side of the wall) and “A” (aimed level at the wall).
To use the 3-Point Pythagoras measurement mode:
1. Press the button 4 times until the 3-Point Pythagoras mode
icon ( ) displays at the left of the LCD screen.
2. After selecting the desired unit of measure and reference position,
aim the Laser Distance Meter so that the laser dot is on the selected
target to measure the length “C” in the figure above.
