MEASURING VOLUMES
The LDM can calculate the volume of a square or rectangular room or space by
measuring its height, depth and width and multiplying the three values.
To measure a volume:
1. Make sure the LDM is using its bottom as the measurement reference and that
the laser is on.
2. Press the
with its top front "width" leg flashing.
3. Holding the bottom of the LDM against the floor of the room or space, aim the
laser pointer at the ceiling and press the
will appear on the top line of the display, the top front "width" leg of the cube will
stop flashing, and the top right "depth" leg of the cube will begin flashing.
4. Move the LDM to one wall of the room or space and hold its rear against that
wall. Aim the laser pointer at the opposite wall and press the
distance measured will appear on the second line of the display, the top right
"depth" leg of the cube will stop flashing, and the right front "height" leg of the
cube will begin flashing. The third line of the display will display the calculated
area of the plane bounded by the width and depth of the volume.
5. Move the LDM to an adjacent wall of the room or space and hold its bottom
against that wall. Aim the laser at the opposite wall and press the
button. The distance measured will replace the planar area on the third line of the
display and the volume of the room or space—in "cubic" units—will appear on
the bottom line. The final display will look similar to Fig.14.

RECALLING STORED MEASUREMENTS/
CALCULATIONS
The LDM automatically stores its last 20 measurements or calculations and retains
them in memory after being powered off. The records also are unaffected by a
battery discharge or battery change. Once the memory is full, the next
