E 8. Measure the height (Figure O 3 ). • Position the tool at one end of the room or object and point the laser dot across the height. (Figure O 3 shows where to position the tool if you are measuring from the bottom of the tool). • Press to display the height measurement on the third line of the screen. 4. Select as the measurement type. • Press to display the Main Menu (Figure E 2 ). • Press to select . • Press to display the Measurement Type Menu (Figure E 3 ). • Press the arrow buttons to select . • Press . 9. Follow the same steps to measure the width, length, and height of the second room or object. 5. Position the tool opposite the bottom of the vertical height to be measured (Figure P 1 ). 10. View the Volume measurement at the bottom of the screen (Figure O 4 ). Measuring the Height of a Tall Object If you need to measure the height of a tall object (e.g., a tall building), you can calculate the height based on the distance to 1 point or the distances from the same point to 2 points on the object. The tool will use the Pythagorean Theorem (C2=A2+B2) to calculate the height. Distance to 1 Point You can use the distance to one point on a wall or object (Indirect Height) to determine its height (Figure P ). 1. Point the tool's laser (Figure A 1 ) toward a wall or object, and not toward anyone's eyes. 2. Press (Figure A 3 ) to turn the tool on and display the red laser dot. 6. Point the laser toward the highest point of the building or object whose height you need to measure (Figure P 1 ). 7. Press to measure the distance. 8. View the height measurement at the bottom of the screen (Figure P 2 ). Distances to 2 Points You can use the distance to two points on a wall or object (Double Indirect Height) to determine its height (Figure Q ). 1. Point the tool's laser (Figure A 1 ) toward a wall or object, and not toward anyone's eyes. 2. Press (Figure A 3 ) to turn the tool on and display the red laser dot. 3. Make sure the tool position setting (Figure C 4 ) is correct for taking the measurement. 3. Make sure the tool position setting (Figure C 4 ) is correct for taking the measurement. 18

8.
Measure the
height
(Figure
O
3
).
• Position the tool at one end of the room
or object and point the laser dot across
the height. (Figure
O
3
shows where
to position the tool if you are measuring
from the
bottom
of the tool).
• Press
to display the height
measurement on the third line of the
screen.
9.
Follow the same steps to measure the
width
,
length
, and
height
of the second
room or object.
10.
View the
Volume
measurement at the
bottom of the screen (Figure
O

).
Measuring the Height of a Tall Object
If you need to measure the height of a tall
object (e.g., a tall building), you can calculate
the height based on the distance to 1 point
or the distances
from the same point
to 2
points on the object. The tool will use the
Pythagorean Theorem (C
2
=A
2
+B
2
) to calculate
the height.
Distance to 1 Point
You can use the distance to one point on a
wall or object (Indirect Height) to determine
its height (Figure
P
).
1.
Point the tool's laser (Figure
A
1
) toward
a wall or object, and not toward anyone's
eyes.
2.
Press
(Figure
A
3
) to turn the tool
on and display the red laser dot.
3.
Make sure the tool position setting
(Figure
C
4
) is correct for taking the
measurement.
4.
Select
as the measurement type.
• Press
to display the Main Menu
(Figure
E
2
).
• Press
to select
.
• Press
to display the Measurement
Type Menu (Figure
E
3
).
• Press the arrow buttons to select
.
• Press
.
5.
Position the tool opposite the bottom of
the vertical height to be measured (Figure
P
1
).
6.
Point the laser toward the highest point of
the building or object whose height you
need to measure (Figure
P
1
).
7.
Press
to measure the distance.
8.
View the height measurement at the
bottom of the screen (Figure
P
2
).
Distances to 2 Points
You can use the distance to two points on
a wall or object (Double Indirect Height) to
determine its height (Figure
Q
).
1.
Point the tool's laser (Figure
A
1
) toward
a wall or object, and not toward anyone's
eyes.
2.
Press
(Figure
A
3
) to turn the tool
on and display the red laser dot.
3.
Make sure the tool position setting
(Figure
C
4
) is correct for taking the
measurement.
