3.2 Intended use
The product described is a laser range meter. It is designed for single measurements and for continuous
measurement of distances.
Distances can be measured to any stationary target, i.e. concrete, stone, wood, plastic, paper, etc. The use
of prisms or other highly reflective targets is not permitted and can falsify the results.
The product is approved for use with batteries of type AAA.
3.3 Bluetooth
This product has Bluetooth.
Bluetooth is a wireless data transfer with which two Bluetooth-enabled devices can communicate with each
other over a short distance.
Hilti products ship ex-works with Bluetooth deactivated.
The Bluetooth®wordmark and the logo are registered trademarks and the property of Blue-
tooth SIG, Inc. and Hilti has been granted a license to use these trademarks.

3. Insert the batteries.
4. Close the battery compartment and flip the contact spike back to the closed position.
5.2 Switching the laser range meter on or off
CAUTION
Risk of injury! Do not direct the laser beam toward persons.
▶ Never look directly into the source of the laser beam. In the event of direct eye contact, close your eyes
and move your head out of the path of the laser beam.
1.
Press the button to switch the laser range meter on.
2.
Press the button and hold it down for 2 seconds to switch the laser range meter off.
5.3 Undo
1. Take a measurement.
2.
Press the button.
➥ The last measurement is undone.
Pressing the button again takes you directly back to the "Measure distance" function.
5.4 Basic settings
5.4.1 Setting the reference
The "Reference" setting influences whether the length of the product is taken into account in

➥ The unit of measure is changed.
2. Repeat step 1 until the unit of measure you want is set.
The setting you select is saved as the new default setting.
5.4.3 Switching the acoustic signal on or off
▶
Simultaneously press the and buttons and hold them down for 2 seconds.
The setting you select is saved as the new default setting.
5.5 Using the contact spike
The contact spike makes the laser range meter easier to aim when you are targeting a fixed position.
Measurements from awkward area are easier, for example when you have to measure a diagonal from
a corner.

1. Flip the contact spike open through 90°.
➥ The contact spike can be used as an end stop.
2. Flip the contact spike open through 180°.
➥ The reference is changed automatically.
5.6 Measuring using a target plate
Use the target plate to measure distance under the following unfavorable conditions:
• The wall is not sufficiently reflective due to the type of surface.
• The target point is not on a surface.
• The distance to be measured is too long.
• The light conditions are unfavorable (bright sunshine).
When measuring with a target plate, add 2 mm (1/16 in) to the measured distance.
6 Operation
6.1 Overview of the functions
Press the button to cycle through the main functions.
The "Measure distance" function is selected by default every time the device is switched on.
You can switch from every main function directly to the "Measure distance" function by pressing the
button.
If a measurement has already been taken, press the button twice.
To repeat a function (Area, Volume, Pythagoras or Layout function), press the button after the
regular measurement procedure finishes.

2.
Press the button to confirm the value.
3. Take the measurement by passing the laser range meter along the layout baseline.
The following values are shown on the display:
• Distance between the nearest layout point and the wall
• Distance from the nearest layout point
An acoustic signal sounds inside a range of 10 cm from the nearest layout point.
A different acoustic signal sounds when the layout point is reached (display shows 0.000).
A minus sign (-) in front of the value indicates that you have to move away from the wall.
4.
Press the button to end measurement.
6.3 Special functions
6.3.1 Adding or subtracting measurements
You can use the "Add/Subtract" function to add or subtract the measured values of different functions.
The following functions are compatible:
• Measure distance
• Measuring area
• Measure volumes
• Pythagoras (2-point)
• Pythagoras (3-point)
1. Use one of the compatible functions.
2.
Press the button if you want to add a new measured value or press the button if you want to
subtract.
3. Take another measurement.
If you are using the "Measure distance" function, the result appears automatically. If you are using
the Area, Volume or Pythagoras function, you have to press the button after completing the
regular process of measurement.
The following values are shown on the display:
• Previous measurements
• Sum of/difference between measurements
6.3.2 Retrieving or deleting data from data memory
The product can save a maximum of 10 measured values in its data memory.
Every subsequent measurement automatically deletes the oldest measured value.
1.
Press the button.
➥ The 10 most recent measured values are displayed.
2.
Use the or buttons to browse through the measured values in memory.
Alternatively, repeatedly press the button.
3.
Simultaneously press the and buttons and hold them down for 2 seconds to delete the
measured values saved in the device's data memory.
➥ All measured values are deleted from the device's data memory.

6.3.3 Taking a continuous measurement (min/max)
1.
Press the button and hold it down for 2 seconds to start measuring.
The following values are shown on the display:
• Maximum value
• Minimum value
• Current measured value
2.
Press the button to stop measuring.
The following values are shown on the display:
• Maximum value
