sighting, set the laser power switch to the ON
position. The Power Indicator LED and the laser
beam will turn on. The laser beam will stay on as
long as the trigger is pulled. The target
temperature and emissivity (E) will be displayed
on the LCD. You can press the
and
key to increment or decrement the target
emissivity. The laser beam is switchable between
dot and circle using the switch on the right side.
Measuring Distance
Distance measurement is offered either as field
mountable or built-in. The field mountable version
(HH-DM) is a stand alone device. Press the key
to measure distance. The build-in version (-DM) is an
integral part of the thermometer. Go to the d_F or
d_M display menu. Set the power switch on the
distance module to the ON position. Pull the trigger
