9. 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

presse over the targeted measuring

surface to improve the return signal.

• Be aware that, when outdoors, the

working range of the tool decreases

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.

• When making Pythagoras measurements, make sure that during

your second measurement you hold the tool as flat as possible for

the most accurate measurements.

• Calibrate the angle sensor every day that you plan to take 1-point

Pythagoras measurements or on days when the temperature

varies considerably.
