8. Tips from the Pros
• Take more than one measurement in situations where accuracy
is critical.
• Take 3-4 measurements from the same position to compare the
consistency of each reading.
• To accurately measure objects lacking
an inside corner from the rear of the
instrument, use a scrap piece of
drywall or other flat material to extend
the corner. Butt the Laser Distance
Meter up to the material (as shown).
• If error message “ERR 2” appears,
place a white sheet of paper or reflec-
tive tape over the targeted measuring
surface to improve the return signal.
• Be aware that when outdoors, the
working range of the tool decreases
significantly due to ambient light.
• To make the laser beam more visible, aim it down in front of you
and then follow it with your eyes as you move it towards the
desired target.
