This guide provides instructions for the Certa 2-in-1 40m Laser and Tape Measure. Ensure the device is charged before first use. The device allows for both physical tape measurements and laser distance measurements, including area, volume, and Pythagorean calculations.
Components Overview
The device consists of the following main parts:

- Tape measure
- Clip
- USB Type-C charging cable
- User guide
The control panel features a display, a laser emitter, and four buttons: Power, Measurement/Settings, Measurement Method, and Unit/End.
Operation
Powering on: Press and hold the measurement/settings button for 2 seconds.
Measuring:
- Press the measurement/settings button to take a single measurement.
- Press and hold the measurement/settings button to take a continuous measurement.
Changing the measurement method:
- Press the measurement method button once for area measurement.
- Press the measurement method button twice for volume measurement.
- Press the measurement method button three times for Pythagoras theorem measurement.
The display will flash to indicate the order of sides that need to be measured for area, volume, and Pythagorean calculations.
Settings and Calibration
To access settings, press and hold the measurement/settings button for 5 seconds until the display shows 'Boot'.

- Offset Settings: Press and hold the measurement/settings button for 2 seconds to enter offset settings ('CAL.0'). Adjust the offset between -7mm to 7mm by repeatedly pressing the measurement/settings button. Hold the button for 2 seconds to confirm.
- Sound Settings: After offset settings, the display shows sound options. Press the measurement/settings button to toggle sound on/off. Hold for 2 seconds to confirm.
- Backlight Settings: After sound settings, the display shows backlight options. Press the measurement/settings button to toggle the backlight on/off. Hold for 2 seconds to confirm.
Changing units: Press and hold the unit/end button to cycle between metres (m), inches (in), and feet (ft).
Changing '0' reference: Press the unit/end button to toggle between measuring from the front or the end of the tape measure.
Clearing Data and Powering Off
- Clear data: Press the power button to clear measurement data.
- Power off: Press and hold the power button for 2 seconds.
Charging
