GENERAL SAFETY RULES
DANGER!
Do not aim light at persons or animals. Do not stare into the laser light
source. Laser light can damage your eyes.
Read the instructions carefully before using the device.
Safe Practices for Using the Prexiso X2
• Do not use as a pointing device.
• Make sure that the safety settings are not disabled.
• Make sure that warning labels and caution labels are not removed.
• Do not open the device with tools (screwdriver, etc.).
• Make sure that the device is not modifi ed.
• Avoid using accessories that are not recommended by the manufacturer.
• Do not aim the laser beam at shiny, refl ective surfaces.
• Avoid aiming directly at the sun.
Correct usage
The Prexiso X2 is designed for measuring distances, lengths, and
heights and for calculating areas and volumes.
INITIAL OPERATION
Insert the batteries
• To ensure reliability, use alkaline batteries only.
• Remove battery compartment cover.
• Insert two (2) AAA alkaline batteries, observing the polarity.
• Close the battery compartment cover.

HOW TO USE
Measuring conditions
The quality of the measurement depends on the surfaces to which you are
measuring. Strongly reflecting targets deflect the laser beam and cause measuring errors. Non-reflecting, dark surfaces increase the measuring time.
Always begin by making a control measurement.
Measurement errors
Measuring errors are possible in case of:
• Colorless fluids (e.g., water)
• Clean, translucent glass
• Styrofoam or similar semi-translucent surfaces
• Strongly reflecting targets that deflect the laser beam
• Measurements aimed at moving objects
For consistently accurate measurements
• Perform control measurements periodically.
• Perform control measurements before and after important measurements.
Switching on/off
• Switch on the device by pressing Clear/Off
Battery and Measuring Plane symbols until another key is pressed.
• Switch off the device by pressing Clear/Off
key is pressed for 3 minutes, the device switches off automatically.

The device adds the second measurement to the first measurement. Result shows in the
Main Display and the previous value in the Secondary Display.
Subtract:
• Measure the first distance by pressing
• Press Add/Subtract
• Measure the second distance.
The device subtracts the second measurement from the first measurement.
Repeat if required. The device displays the result in the Main Display and the previous value
in the Secondary Display.

HELPFUL USER HINTS
a. To clean your Prexiso PX2 (PX2) use a soft, damp cloth. Do not im-
merse in, or spray with water. Avoid all liquid or abrasive cleaners.
b. The electronic module in your PX2 was sealed after factory calibration;
therefore, no user serviceable parts or adjustments are required.
c. Your PX2 is temperature compensated. However, small variations
in accuracy may occur with changes in altitude and humidity. These
variations typically can be ignored for estimating purposes.
d. If moved from one temperature environment to another, allow the PX2
time to adjust to the surrounding air temperature before operating.
