Operation with laser receiver
Switch on the laser receiver. Fix the laser receiver on the leveling rod, metal surface etc. Place the laser receiver in front of the laser beam. Move the detector up / down following the arrows on the LCD (front or back, whichever is more convenient) and LED indicators. A down arrow on the display indicates that the receiver should be moved down; an up arrow indicates that the receiver should be moved up. An indicator shows the exact distance to the laser line. When the laser beam hits the center of the receiver sensor and the position of the laser beam coincides with level marks, the receiver emits an audio signal (if the audio signal is switched on) and symbol of detected laser line appears on the display.

Magnetic target board
A magnetic laser target will help to mark up ceiling systems or frame structures, such as drywall. The built-in magnet allows to fix the target on the ceiling rails or on the frame profile. The target has a linear marking on its surface, which helps to determine deviation from the nominal level and transfer control points when marking with a laser level.
