4. Fametrahana

4.1 Famandrihana ny fitaovana

The device is powered by a rechargeable Li-ion battery. Before first use, or when the battery indicator on the display is low, charge the device using the provided Type-C charging cable.

1. Locate the USB-C charging port on the side of the device.
2. Connect the Type-C end of the charging cable to the device and the USB-A end to a compatible USB power adapter (not included) or computer port.
3. The battery indicator on the display will show charging status. A full charge allows for approximately 5000 measurements.

5.1 Using the Tape Measure

The manual tape measure extends up to 16 ft (5 m) and features a magnetic hook for secure attachment to ferrous materials. The blade is nylon-coated for durability and has clear markings on both sides.

• Pull the tape blade out to the desired length.
• To lock the blade in place, slide the blade lock button forward.
• To retract the blade, slide the blade lock button backward and guide the tape back into the housing.

5.2.1 Changing Units and Reference Point

• To change measurement units: Tazony ny UNIT button for 3 seconds. The units will cycle through Meters (M), Inches (In), and Feet (Ft).
• To change the measuring reference point: Tsindrio ny UNIT button briefly. The reference point can be set from the front or the rear of the device. This is crucial for accurate measurements.

5.2.2 Fandrefesana Lavitra fototra

1. Power on the device by pressing the M bokotra.
2. Ensure the desired reference point and unit are selected.
3. Atondroy amin'ny lasibatra ny laser.
4. Tsindrio ny M button again to take a single measurement. The result will appear on the display.

5.2.3 Fandrefesana mitohy

In continuous measurement mode, the device constantly updates the distance as you move it, useful for finding minimum/maximum distances or marking specific points.

1. Ampio ny fitaovana.
2. Tsindrio ny M tsindrio indray mandeha ny bokotra mba hampandeha ny laser.
3. Tazony ny M button for approximately 2 seconds to enter continuous measurement mode. The display will show real-time measurements.
4. Tsindrio ny M button again to stop continuous measurement and hold the last displayed value.

5.2.4 Fandrefesana faritra

This mode calculates the area of a rectangular space.

1. Tsindrio ny FUNC button until the area icon (rectangle) appears on the display.
2. Take the first measurement (e.g., length) by pressing M.
3. Take the second measurement (e.g., width) by pressing M.
4. Hanao kajy sy hampiseho ho azy ny velaran-tany ilay fitaovana.
