Any large obstacle found within + 5 for the viewing angle of the unit might be regarded as the target. Large, flat, hard surfaces usually give more accurate results. To measure small, irregular or soft objects, place a piece of cardboard in front of the object. Change of measurement base does not affect old readings. The unit cannot measure through glass.

MEASUREMENT REFERENCE

Press SET button to select measurement base: top or bottom of case. To change from feet to meters, or vice versa, press the set and X/= button simultaneously.

Situations

Inaccurate readings of distance

Possible Causes

Battery runs out of power Measured distance is < 2 or > 50 (< 0.6m or > 15m). Another ultrasonic source is nearby Measured distance is < 2 or > 50 (< 0.6m or > 15m). The target is not a good ultrasonic reflector. (e.g. thick carpet, irregular wallpaper, etc.). The unit points to the target obliquely. Computation is out of the specified range.

Solutions

Replace new battery Make sure measured distance is within range Remove the ultrasonic source and try again.

ERROR DISPLAY

The unit will give inaccurate readings if: The battery runs out of power The distance to be measured is less than 2 (0.6m) or There is another ultrasonic source in the vicinity. ERROR will be displayed if the reflected ultrasonic pulses are not strong enough. This may happen when: -The measuring distance is out of working range. -The target is not a good ultrasonic reflector (e.g. thick carpet, irregular wall paper, etc.) -The unit of the multiplication result is higher than cube.
Class II Laser Product Max. Power Output < 1mw Wavelength: 640-670 nm Complies with CFR 21 parts 1040.10 and 1040.11

USE AS INTENDED:

The MeasureTech is intended for a fast, convenient distance measurement with a laser pointer which shows exactly where the measurement is being taken.
The MeasureTech measurement unit is defaulted in ft-in.

CAUTION

Avoid direct exposure to the beam. Read instructions in manual.

MEASUREMENT PROCEDURES

Select the measurement reference. Point the unit perpendicular to the target. The laser will show where the estimator is pointed and is on only while a reading is being taken. Caution: Do not stare into Laser beam. Hold unit with beam above or below eye level. Press the READ button to take the measurement. Hold the READ button for continuous measurement.

LCD displays Error

Make sure mearured distance is within range. Place a piece of cardboard in front of target. Make sure computation is within range.
WARRANTY This product is a consumable item. Therefore it is warranted against defective parts and labor only and not misuse or deterioration of product through normal wear and tear for a period of 2 years from date of purchase.

INSTALLING THE BATTERY

Slide back of unit off to replace battery. Snap 9-V battery into compartment, terminal side first, matching (+) and (-) terminals from battery to case. Replace the back by sliding into grooves. Alkaline battery life is approximately 7000 measurements. The battery should be replaced when battery indicator is on.
WARNING: To avoid risk of eye injury, do not stare directly into beam. Never point the beam into anyones eyes. Do not permit children to use this device. It is not a toy.

Finding square footage/meters and cubic footage meters
After taking initial measurement, press the X/= key. Take the second measurement and again press the X/= key. LCD display will show SQ.M. Take a third measurement and again press X/= key. LCD display will show cu.ft. or cu.m.
