7.6.1 Indirect Horizontal Distance (1 angle, 1
distance)
This function is particularly useful in situations where
a horizontal distance requires to be measured but the
target is obstructed by an obstacle. Follow the graphical
display, which indicates the distance to be measured.
After measuring the necessary distance and angle, the
result is calculated and shown in the result line.
1. Select the Indirect Horizontal Distance function from
the Indirect Measurement group.
2. Aim the range meter at the target.
3. Press the "Measure" button.
The distance and angle of inclination are measured
and shown in the intermediate result line.
The target distance is calculated immediately and
shown in the result line.
7.6.2 Indirect Vertical Distance (2 angles, 2
distances)
This function is particularly useful in situations where a
vertical distance on a wall requires to be measured but
no direct access to the wall is possible (e.g. floor to floor
height on the facade of a building). Follow the graphical
display, which indicates the distances to be measured.
After measuring the two distances necessary and the
angles of inclination, the result is calculated and shown
in the result line.
1. Select the Indirect Vertical Distance function from
the Indirect Measurement group.
2. Aim the range meter at the target.
3. Press the "Measure" button.
The first distance and angle are measured and
shown in the intermediate result line.
The graphic display then automatically prompts you
to measure the second distance.
4. Aim the range meter at the target.
5. Press the "Measure" button.
The distance and angle of inclination are measured
and shown in the intermediate result line.
The target distance is calculated immediately and
shown in the result line.
7.6.3 Indirect Measurement on Ceilings (2 angles, 2
distances)
NOTE
Take care to ensure that the measured points and the
point at which the tool is positioned all lie on the same
vertical plane.
This function is particularly suitable for use in situations
where a distance on a ceiling requires to be meas-
ured. Follow the graphical display, which indicates the
distances to be measured. After measuring the two dis-
tances necessary and the angles of inclination, the result
is calculated and shown in the result line.
1. Select the Indirect Measurement on Ceilings func-
tion from the Indirect Measurement group.
2. Aim the range meter at the target.
3. Press the "Measure" button.
The first distance and angle are measured and
shown in the intermediate result line.
The graphic display then automatically prompts you
to measure the second distance.
4. Aim the range meter at the target.
5. Press the "Measure" button.
The distance and angle of inclination are measured
and shown in the intermediate result line.
The target distance is calculated immediately and
shown in the result line.

7.7 Special functions

7.7.1 Inclination function
NOTE
The reference surface for the inclination sensor is the
underside of the tool (battery compartment).
The current inclination is shown graphically and numer-
ically when using the Inclination function. Depending on
how the angle units are configured in the settings, the cur-
rent inclination is shown in degrees, percent or mm/m. If
you press the "Measure" button when using this function,
the current angle of inclination is saved.
7.7.2 Painter's Area
The Painter's Area function is used, for example, to
determine the surface area of the walls in a room. This
