User Information
Range
In daylight (outdoors) always work with laser viewfinder. If
neceesary, shade the target.
Increased range:
At night, at dusk and when target area is in the shade.
Reduced range:
By mat green and blue surfaces (also by plants or trees).
Rough surfaces
On a rough surface (e.g. coarse plaster) measure against
the centre of the illuminated area.
To avoid measuring to the bottom of plaster joints:
Use target plate, 3M "Post-it" or board.
Transparent surfaces
To avoid measuring errors, do not measure towards
colorless liquids (like water) or (dust free) glass.
For materials and liquids unfamiliar to you always take a
trial measurement.
