7.
Measure the height (Figure
M
3
).
• Positon the tool at one end of the object and
point the laser dot across the height.
(Figure
M
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.
8.
View the Volume measurement at the bottom of
the screen (Figure
M

).
Adding/Subtracting 2 Volumes
You can measure the volume of room or object
and then add it to, or subtract it from, the volume of
another room or object (Figure
N
).
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
E
4
)
is correct for taking the measurement.
4.
If is not already displayed as the current
function (Figure
E
5
), click the current function
icon and then select
from the list of
functions (Figure
G
2
).
5.
Click + to add, or - to subtract, the volumes of two
objects.
6.
Measure the width (Figure
N
1
).
• Position the tool at one end of the object and
point the laser dot across the width.
(Figure
N
1
shows where to position the
tool if you are measuring from the bottom of
the tool.)
• Press
to display the width measurement at
the top of the screen.
7.
Measure the length (Figure
N
2
).
• Position the tool at one end of the object and
point the laser dot across the length. (Figure
N
2
shows where to position the tool if you are
measuring from the bottom of the tool.)
• Press
to display the length measurement on
the second line of the screen.
8.
Measure the height (Figure
N
3
).
• Position the tool at one end of the object and
point the laser dot across the height. (Figure
N
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
N
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 (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
O
).
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
E
4
)
is correct for taking the measurement.
4.
If is not already displayed as the current
function (Figure
E
5
), click the current function
icon and then select
from the list of functions
(Figure
G
2
).
5.
Position the tool opposite the bottom of the
vertical height to be measured (Figure
O
1
).
6.
Point the laser toward the highest point of the
building or object whose height you need to
measure (Figure
O
1
).
7.
Press to measure the distance.
8.
View the height measurement at the bottom of the
screen (Figure
O
