Ultrasonic Distance Measurer

OWNER’S MANUAL

PREPARATION

INSTALLING BATTERIES

Your measurer requires 9V battery (not supplied) 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.

When LOW BATT 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 MEASURE. The measurer turns itself off if no key

is pressed within about 4 minutes or press MEASURE for 3 seconds to turn it off.

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 the measurer 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:

2

 The measurement appears for about 4 minutes (or longer if you press

another key).

 ERROR might appear if you try to measure a distance shorter than the set

range of 2 feet (0.61m) or longer than 60 feet (18.288 meters).

Measuring Tips

 Some types 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 a 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 solid and flat, of if you are

measuring in a narrow corridor, you might receive a false reading. If this

happens, use a solid surface to measure or move to the center of the

corridor.

 To measure a distance longer than 60 feet (18.288meters), select a point in

the middle of the room (for example), measure from the center of the room

toward each side, then add the two measurements.

SAVING A MEASUREMENT

1. Follow the steps under “Taking a Measurement” to measure a dimension.

2. Press STORE then a memory key (M1,M2 or M3). M and the number of the

memory location you chose (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.
