Options and Configuration
The following keys and key combinations can be used to change various options when
pressed for 2 seconds.
MEM:

MEM and SMART:
angle unit: degrees/grad
MEM and FUNC:
silent mode on/off
MEM and MINUS:
backsight mode on/off
REF and MINUS:
beep on/off
REF and PLUS:
display illumination on/off
REF and FUNC:
back reference: case/endpiece
CLR and SMART:
calibration mode on/off
CLR and MEM:
clear unsent memory
CLR and FUNC:
Bluetooth on/off
CLR and MINUS:
locked power off
SMART and MINUS:
triple shot check on/off
The distance and angle units are used for the numbers in the display only; they have no
influence on the stored and transmitted values.
Backsight Mode
If the backsight mode is turned on, the measurements are reported as if they were measured in
the opposite direction. The sign of the inclination is reversed and 180° is added to the
azimuth. On the display a down arrow is shown near the Laser symbol when the option is
turned on and whenever a backsight measured memory value is shown.
Triple Shot Check
If the triple shot check option is turned on, the device checks for three nearly identical
measurements in a row. If a triple is detected the device beeps twice and shows an ‘identical’
sign (
≡
) to the right of the measured values. Three shots are considered nearly identical if the
pairwise comparison results in a distance difference < 5cm and a directional difference < 3%
(1.7°). PocketTopo uses the same measure to distinguish survey shots from splay shots. A
small triangle ( ) is shown a in the lower left corner of the display if the check is switched
on.
Factory Reset
Press CLR, FUNC, and MEM for 5 seconds to reset the device to the original state.
The memory is erased completely, the user options are set to default values, and the
calibration coefficients are reset to a neutral calibration. To preserve the calibration, read the
calibration coefficients from the device, reset the device, and write the coefficients back to the
device.
