is done by determining the total length of all walls and
multiplying this figure by the height of the room.
1. Select Painter's Area from the group of special func-
tions.
2. Aim the tool at the target to measure the first room
length.
3. Press the "Measure" button.
The first distance is measured and displayed in the
en
intermediate result line.
4. Aim the tool at the target for the next room length
and press the "Measure" button to take the meas-
urement.
The second distance is measured and displayed in
the intermediate result line. The intermediate result
shown in bold is the total of the room lengths.
5. Repeat this procedure until all room lengths have
been measured.
6. When all room lengths have been measured, press
the right arrow button to switch to room height.
7. Confirm by pressing the "Measure" button.
8. Aim the tool at the target for room height and press
the "Measure" button to take the measurement. The
room height is measured and displayed in the inter-
mediate result line. The painter's area is calculated
immediately and shown in the result line.
NOTE Other areas may be added to or subtracted
from the painter's area. Use the right or left arrow
buttons to select plus or minus. Confirm by pressing
the "Measure" button. Then measure the length and
width of the area. The area is calculated immediately
and added to or subtracted from the painter's area.
In the display you will see the result of the original
painter's area calculation, the last length and width
measurements and resulting area, as well as the
newly calculated area to be added to or subtracted
from the painter's area.
7.7.3 The Setting Out function
The tool can be used to indicate given distances, e.g.
when setting out and marking the position of drywall
framing.
1. Select the Setting Out function from the group of
special functions.
2. Enter the distance manually.
3. In order to enter the distance manually, use the
left or right arrow buttons to select the keyboard
symbol.
4. Confirm by pressing the "Measure" button.
5. Use the right or left arrow buttons to select the
corresponding digits.
6. Confirm the digits by pressing the "Measure" button.
7. To confirm the value, select the "tick" symbol in the
lower right corner.
8. Then use the left or right arrow buttons to select the
flag symbol.
NOTE The distance you have entered will then be
shown between the two flags.

9. Press the "Measure" button to begin measuring. The
arrows in the display indicate the direction in which
the tool must be moved.
When the target distance is reached, black arrows
appear above and below the distance shown in the
display.
10. To set out the next distance increment, simply move
the tool further in the same direction.
The number of distance increments you have already
set out is shown on the right.
11. Press the "Measure" button to stop measuring.
NOTE When the distance to be set out is reached,
the currently used measuring reference is shown in
the display to aid marking.
NOTE As an alternative to entering the distance
manually, the distance to be set out may also be
measured with the tool. To do this, select the symbol
for single measurement and confirm your choice
by pressing the "Measure " button. You can then
measure the distance you wish to set out.
7.7.4 Min/Max Delta function
The "Maximum" function is used mainly to determine
the length of diagonals, while the "Minimum" function
is used to check parallels and set up objects parallel to
each other, or to take measurements in situations where
access is difficult.
The "Maximum" function makes use of continuous meas-
uring mode. The value shown in the display is updated
whenever the measured distance increases.
The "Minimum" function also makes use of continuous
measuring mode. The value shown in the display is up-
dated whenever the measured distance decreases.
By combining the "Maximum" and "Minimum" functions,
differences in distance can be determined very quickly,
easily and reliably. The distance between a pipe and
a ceiling, or the distance between two objects even in
inaccessible locations, can thus be easily and reliably
determined.
1. Select the Min/Max Delta function from the group of
special functions.
2. Aim the range meter at the target.
3. Press the "Measure" button.
The tool begins measuring in continuous measuring
mode.
The values shown in the MIN and MAX display areas
are then updated whenever the measured distance
increases or decreases.
The difference between Min and Max is calculated
in the Delta field.
4. Press the "Measure" button to stop measuring.
The last distances measured are shown in the results
line.
