2. After selecting the desired unit of measure and reference position,
aim the Laser Distance Meter so that the laser dot is on the selected
target to measure the length of the hypotenuse. Hold the Laser
Distance Meter so that the bottom edge of the tool is roughly
horizontal for the most accurate results.
3. Keep your position stable and press the button. The angle
measured will appear above the main display.
4. A length result will be shown on the main screen, and the triangle
in the Pythagoras Measurements indicator will flash one leg of the
triangle. The measurement result shown corresponds to that length
of the triangle you measured (height, width or hypotenuse). Press the
or buttons to toggle through the different sides of the
triangle.
5. Press the button to clear the display and take your next 1-Point
Pythagoras measurement.
Stake-out Measurement Mode
The Stake-out mode is used when it is necessary to measure a
repeating distance interval, such as when installing fence posting
every 8 feet. It is important to have the volume enabled when
using the stake-out mode, as the tool will beep to guide you to
the correct distance.
To use the Stake-out mode:
1. Set your desired unit of measurement and measurement
reference position, as described earlier in this manual.
