To select a unit of measure before taking a measurement, press and
hold the button. The word “Unit” will display in the center of the
LCD screen, and the unit of measure will display at the bottom right of
the LCD screen, or after taking a measurement, press and hold the
button to scroll through the various units of measurement.
Measurement Reference Position
Note: Setting the measurement reference correctly is critical to
obtaining an accurate measurement, as it establishes the place where
a reading of zero (0) is located. If the wrong reference position is
selected, the measurement will be off by the length of the tool
(5.7 inches/≈5 3/4
″ ).
The Laser Distance Meter has two reference positions for measurement,
which establish the place where a reading of zero (0) is located. When the
instrument is first turned on, it will default to the most recently used position.
1. Front of the unit
2. Back of the unit
