After switching on, the rear edge of the laser measure
is preset as the reference point for the measurement.
To change the reference point (see Selecting the Ref-
erence Point, below).
Place the laser measure against the desired starting
point of the measurement (e.g. wall) and aim at the
surface you wish to measure to.
Note: The measured value typically appears within 0.5
seconds and no more than 4.25 seconds. The dura-
tion of the measurement depends on the distance, the
lighting conditions and the reflective properties of the
target surface.
For the measurement, you can select between three
different reference points:
-

To select between the three reference points, press
the measuring reference button 4. Cycle through the
desired reference measuring point options by press-
ing plus button 3 [ ] or minus button 8 [ ]. Press the
measure button 2 [ ] to make your selection. If the
laser measure is turned off and then turned back on,
the reference point will reset to the rear edge of the
laser measure.
