How to Use a Laser Distance Meter (C6 & R7 Models)
The C6 and R7 Laser Distance Meters from Temu are powerful tools for quick and precise measurements. This guide explains how to operate the device, use advanced functions, and troubleshoot issues effectively.
🔌 Getting Started: Powering On and Off
- Turn On: Press the
START
button to activate the device. The backlight will turn on and enter single measurement mode. - Turn Off: Hold the power button. If idle, the device will shut down automatically after 3 minutes.
📏 Basic Measurement Functions
1. Single Distance Measurement
- Press
START
to turn on the laser. - Aim at the target and press
START
again to take a reading. - Measurement displays instantly.
2. Continuous (Max/Min) Measurement
- Long press
START
to activate continuous mode. - Display shows:
– Top: Minimum distance
– Middle: Maximum distance
– Bottom: Current reading - Press the power button to exit or wait 5 minutes for auto-exit.
3. Addition & Subtraction
- Press
+/-
to toggle between add/subtract modes. - Addition: Current + next measured value.
- Subtraction: Current – next measured value.
- Use
CLEAR
to remove last entry or reset line-by-line.
