Quick answer
- Open Settings and enable Job Site Mode.
- Use the higher-contrast calculator while working in sunlight.
- Keep haptics on and confirm the result before leaving the measurement position.
Make the calculator easier to read outdoors, keep it awake during measurement, and use tactile feedback without changing the familiar keypad layout.

Follow the sequence and keep units visible at every handoff.
Step 1
Open Settings and switch on Job Site Mode. The app uses a high-contrast palette designed for outdoor readability.
Step 2
Job Site Mode keeps the display awake while the app is active, reducing unlock-and-reenter interruptions during a measurement.
Step 3
The five-column construction keypad remains stable, so repeated use builds muscle memory.
Step 4
Disable the mode when indoor appearance or battery conservation is the priority.
Example 1
Use the dark, high-contrast result display while checking diagonal measurements.
Example 2
Use haptic confirmation, then visually check the expression line for missed taps.
Example 3
Keep the screen visible while moving between two tape endpoints.
