7.8 Operating the laser distance meter
7.8.1 General
The laser distance meter consists of a laser transmitter and a laser receiver. The laser
distance meter determines the distance to a target by measuring the time it takes for a la-
ser pulse to reach the target and return to the laser receiver. This time is converted to a
distance, which is displayed on the screen.
The laser transmitter also works as a laser pointer. When the laser is on, you will see a
laser dot approximately at the target.
WARNING
Do not look directly into the laser beam. The laser beam can cause eye irritation.
