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

reflective 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. The “unfavorable

conditions” accuracy and distance limits shown in the

specifications section quantify the performance you should expect

from your laser distance meter in bright sunlight conditions.

• 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.

• When making Pythagoras measurements, make sure that you

hold the tool as flat as possible during your second measurement

for the most accurate measurements. The beam should hit

perpendicular to the object you are measuring.
