After approx. 5 min without performing a measurement, the unit switches
off automatically to save the batteries.
With the automatic switch-off, the current display and the settings of the
unit are also stored in addition to the already stored measured values.
When switched on again, the unit is in the same function and shows the
same display as before the automatic switch-off.
Changing the Measuring Unit
After switching on the measuring instrument, the measured values are
shown in the unit that was selected the last time the measuring instrument
was used.
With repeated pressing of the “

, switching between the units of measure
shown here can be made at any time, also for
already calculated values.
Exception: If the continuous laser beam is
switched on (see
Continuous Pointer Mode)
,
the measuring unit cannot be changed.
For areas or volume entries, only units of m or ft are possible.
Measuring Procedure
The instrument has several measuring functions that can be selected by
pressing the respective function button (see
