10 Changing b attery To install a battery:  Slide the battery compartm ent cover down (Fig. 2)  Install the battery, observing correct polarity  Do not force the battery while placing back inside the compartment.  Close the compartm ent cover If the battery does not fit the compartment easily, it means that either polarity was reverse d[...]

11 Measuring procedure When the unit is powered off the LCD will appear blank . To activate the unit p ress and hold A bu tton (Fig. 1) for half a second. The word ‘READY’ will appear on the display to indicate the unit is powered on. Pressing the A button (Fi g. 1) in Ready t o Measure m ode will initiate measurement. The result of th e measur[...]

12 surface is more reflective tha n a ro ugh one. L arger targets reflect better than small ones. Ranging a target perpend icular to the laser beam provides better results th an the one positioned under a sharp angle to the beam . Weather con ditions that influen ce air tra nsparency (rain, fog, snow, mist) reduce maximum range. Bright sunny days w[...]

13 Note: Even with target selection logic the unit may not always be able to range the desired target as its reflectivity may be too low to produce enough laser beam refl ections for statistically reliable calculation. A warning will be displayed if th e result is not statistically reliable. See more about target reflectivity in Additional displa y[...]

20 6. BEST MEASURING TECHNIQUE Laser range finder measures di stance by catching laser beam reflected from the target. Ever ything that improves reflection increases the measurement reliability and maximum range. 1. Use tripod when ranging remote targ ets. The longer is the distance, the greater is the be a m shift due to hand t remor. 2. Aim at a [...]
