Storing / Recalling Values
The DigiRoller™Plus II has several keys that can be used to store and
recall values:
The DigiRoller™Plus II can also store and recall values in the [H],
[LxWxH], [AutoCount], and [Area#] keys.
To recall any of the values above, press the [Rcl] key and then press
the key that has the value you want to display. For example, to recall
the length that was rolled, press [Rcl] [L].
Storing Measurements in Permanent Memory
You can store rolled measurements in the standard calculator type
memory, by pressing the [M+] key after rolling. To subtract a measurement from a previously stored value, press the [M-] key after
rolling. To recall the total stored in Memory, press [Rcl] [M+].
Note: This memory feature acts just like a standard, limited
calculator memory function; it will accumulate and total the
measurements added to it.

Deleting Stored Measurements
To permanently delete a stored value, press the delete key [DEL] and
then the key that has the value you want to delete. Be careful when
pressing the [DEL] key, as it will permanently erase the stored value
of the next key pressed.
If you accidentally press the [DEL] key, press [RESET] to prevent any
stored value from being erased.
Using the Counter
The DigiRoller™Plus II has a manual “count” function that allows you
to count various items you may be tracking as you roll your measurement (for example, parking spaces, fire hydrants, etc.).
When you want to count something, press the [Count] key. If the bell
is on, the unit will beep each time it is pressed and the count total in
the upper left corner of the display will increase by one. To subtract
a count, press the [Set] key then the [Count] key.

Taking Wall-to-Wall Measurements
Unlike other measuring wheels, the
function which enables you to measure true wall-to-wall distances (taking
into account the wheel’s radius when measuring up to a wall). The wheel
radius key will add the radius of the wheel to the measurement.
To measure a room accurately, press the wheel radius key
whenever your measurements begin or end against a wall
(see instructions below).
When you press this key, the DigiRoller™Plus II will add distance to the
measurement. Depending on your selected wheel size and measurement
units, the first and second presses of this key may not appear to be adding
equal distances due to display rounding. However, this is a display value
only; internal calculations will be
