Ultrasonic Distance Measurer

OWNER’S MANUAL

PREPARATION INSTALLING BATTERIES

Your measurer requires 9V battery (not supply) for power. For the best performance
and life, we recommend alkaline battery. Follow these steps to install a battery.

1. Slide the battery compartment cover in the direction of the arrow to remove it.
2. Snap the battery in the compartment. As indicated by the polarity symbols (+ and -
) marked inside.
3. Replace the cover.
4. When Low Battery Icon appears or the measurer stops operating properly, replace
the battery.

Caution: If you do not plan to use the measurer for a month or more, remove the
battery, Batteries can leak chemicals that can destroy electronic parts.

STABILIZING THE MEASURER

Your measurer is sensitive to changes in temperature and humidity. Before you use
the measurer, wait about 15~30 minutes for it to stabilize to the current room’s
temperature.

OPERATION

 TURNING THE MEASURER ON/OFF

To turn on the measurer, press MEASURER. The measurer turns itself off if no key
is pressed within about 30 seconds.

 TAKING A MEASUREMENT

1. Press MEASURE to turn on the unit. The measurer beeps then the distance
between the measurer and the point you measured appears.
2. Hold the bottom of measure flat against a wall, about halfway between the floor
and ceiling. Be sure there is a clear path to the point you want to measure and that
your head or hands do not block the front of the measurer.
3. Repeatedly press FEET/METER until FEET appears (to measure in feet) or until
METER appears (to measure in meter)

 Notes:

The measurement appears for about 30 seconds (or longer if you press another key)

feet (0.50m) or longer than 60 feet (18.288meters)

 Measuring Tips

Some type of curtains and blinds can absorb sound waves. Causing measurements
to be inaccurate. If you are measuring distances in a room with curtains. open the
curtains before measuring the distance to a window behind them. Also, be sure that
the window is closed. If there is not clear path between the points where you are
measuring. You might receive a false reading from sound waves bouncing off
objects such as chairs, tables and objects with uneven surfaces. If you are not sure if
a measurement is correct, move slightly to one side then measure the distance
again. If the surface of a wall you are measuring is not sold and flat, or if you are
measuring in a narrow corridor. You might receive a false reading .if this happens,
use a sold surface to measure or move to the centre of the corridor. To measure a
distance longer than 60 feet (18.288 meters) Select a point in the middle of the room
(for example) measure from the centre of the room toward each side. Then add the
two measurements.

 SAVING A MEASUREMENT

2. Press STORE then a memory key (M1, M2, M3).M and the number of the memory
location you choose (1,2 or 3)appear and the measurer stores the reading in that
memory location.
3. If necessary, repeat steps 1 and 2 to save up to three measurements.
