The workflow at a glance

Step by Step
Use Job Site Mode in Bright Sunlight
Follow the sequence and keep units visible at every handoff.
Step 1
Enable Job Site Mode
Open Settings and switch on Job Site Mode. The app uses a high-contrast palette designed for outdoor readability.
Step 2
Confirm screen behavior
Job Site Mode keeps the display awake while the app is active, reducing unlock-and-reenter interruptions during a measurement.
Step 3
Use the same keypad positions
The five-column construction keypad remains stable, so repeated use builds muscle memory.
Step 4
Return to normal when finished
Disable the mode when indoor appearance or battery conservation is the priority.
Field Examples
Three practical checks
Example 1
Bright slab layout
Use the dark, high-contrast result display while checking diagonal measurements.
Example 2
Gloved input
Use haptic confirmation, then visually check the expression line for missed taps.
Example 3
Long measurement
Keep the screen visible while moving between two tape endpoints.
Common mistakes
What to verify
- Treating outdoor visibility as permission to use the phone from an unsafe ladder position.
- Relying only on haptics without checking the entered expression.
- Forgetting that an awake screen uses more battery.
