Nøglefunktioner:
- 2.8-inch 320 x 240 display for clear data visualization.
- Measures any shape of land area and girth (excluding upland and slope).
- Capable of testing length or distance between any two points.
- Displays test data, graphic trajectory, and total calculation amount on screen.
- Supports both manual and automatic measurement methods.
- Multiple unit options: mu, square, hectare, and kilometers.
2. Safety Precautions and Important Notes
To ensure accurate measurements and safe operation, please observe the following guidelines:
- Udendørs brug: This device is designed for outdoor use in open areas. Avoid operating near tall obstructions such as buildings or dense trees, as these can interfere with GPS signal reception.
- Satellite Acquisition: The device requires a minimum of 6 satellites to be acquired before it can begin measurement operations. Ensure sufficient satellite lock for accurate results.
- Minimum Measurement Area: Do not attempt to measure land areas smaller than 0.3 mu (approximately 200 square meters), as accuracy may be compromised.
- Measurement Trajectory: When measuring, avoid crossing or overlapping your trajectory. Maintain a clear, non-intersecting path for precise area calculation.
- Coordinate Stability: Before initiating any measurement, verify that the Latitude and Longitude coordinates displayed on the device are stable. Unstable coordinates indicate poor GPS signal and will lead to inaccurate readings.

Tryk og hold på Magt button until the screen illuminates. The device will perform a self-check and attempt to acquire GPS satellite signals.
5. Betjeningsvejledning
5.1. Manual Area Measurement
Follow these steps for manual area measurement:
- Acquire Satellites: Ensure the device has acquired at least 6 satellite signals. The signal strength indicator on the screen will confirm this.
- Enter Manual Testing Mode:
- Navigate to the "Set" menu.
- Select "Manual Testing".
- Vend tilbage til hovedmenuen.
- Start Area Measurement: From the main menu, select "Area" to begin.
- Mark point:
- Walk along the perimeter of the land you wish to measure.
- Tryk på Spare button at each corner or significant point (e.g., A, B, C, D).
- The device will record the GPS coordinates for each point.
- Complete Measurement: After marking all points, return to the starting point (Point A). Press the OK button to finalize the measurement.
- View Resultater: The calculated area and length will be displayed on the screen.
- Gem data: Tryk på Spare button to store the measurement data.

The land graph can also be checked later from the saved data.
5.2. Afstandsmåling
To measure the distance between two points:
- Vælg "Længde" i hovedmenuen.
- Walk from the starting point to the end point.
- The device will continuously display the distance covered.
- Trykke Spare to record the final distance.
5.3. Systemindstillinger
