ASSEMBLY

Changing the Battery

Only use alkaline batteries. Do not use zinc-carbon batteries. If the laser will not be used for a long time, remove the batteries as a protection against corrosion.
Change batteries when the battery indication begins flashing. To change the batteries:

1. Lift latch to open battery door.
2. Insert two AA batteries according to the +/- polarity marked in the compartment.
3. Install the battery door securely

Fuel Gauge

To determine the amount of charge left in the battery, turn the tool ON. Charge will show in the display: Full, 3/4, 1/2 and Low Battery warning.

• Battery life may vary by brand/age. Replace the batteries as soon as possible.

OPERATION

WARNING To reduce the risk of injury or temporary effects on vision, do not look directly into the laser when it is on.
CAUTION Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
NOTICE Perform the Accuracy Field Check procedure immediately upon unboxing of each new Laser Level Detector and before exposure to job site conditions. See “Accuracy Field Check” for information.

Turning On/Off

To turn on the laser detector, press the Power Button until the units BEEPS and ICONS and LEDs Flash.
To turn off the laser detector, press and hold the power button for more than 2 seconds. Unit will automatically turn off after 15 minutes with NO but- tons pressed and NO lasers detected, 3 hours with laser detected and NO buttons pressed.

Using the Laser Detector

1. Press the Power Button to toggle between Back Light ON and Back Light OFF.

2. Press the Volume Button to toggle between volume options:
     High Volume (Default)
   Low Volume
   Mute/Silent

3. Press the Accuracy Mode Bottom to toggle between accuracy options:
   Fine (Default)
   Coarse

4. Hold the detector so the sensor is facing the laser source. For best results, ensure the detector is level or plumb to the ground and the sensor is perpendicular to the light source.

5. Slowly move the detector up/down or left/ right in the general area of the projected laser beam.

6. Once the beam is detected, use the Display or LED indication to align the Center Line of the detector with the Laser Beam.
   Use with MILWAUKEE Laser Levels for best results.

Clamp

To use clamp, align locating posts with the back of the Detector.
Tighten attachment knob until secure.
Use clamping knob to open/close knobs and attach to grade rod, 2×4 or similar.

Laser Locating Display and Audible Indicator

An arrow will be displayed to indicate which direction the user must move the Detector in order to align the Center Line with Laser Beam being detected.
Depending which direction, the speaker will beep at either 10 hz (fast) or 4 hz (slow) to indicate which direction to move the detector.

• A solid line will be displayed when the detector center line is aligned with the laser beam being detected. The speaker will play a solid tone and the Green LED will blink.
• When the laser beam being detected is left of the detector center line, an arrow pointing left will be displayed. The speaker will beep quickly at 10 hz and the Red LED will blink.
• When the laser beam being detected is right of the detector center line, an arrow pointing right will be displayed. The speaker will beep slowly at 4 hz and the Blue LED will blink.
• Side LEDs supply the same color and sound indicators.

Troubleshooting

If the tool does not turn on:

• Ensure batteries are inserted correctly according to the +/- polarity marked in the compartment.
• Replace batteries that may be at the end of life.
• Ensure the tool’s internal temperature is within specified operating ranges. If stored in excessive heat or cold, allow at least 2 hours to acclimate to ambient temperature before turning on the tool.
  If problem persists, please contact a MILWAUKEE service facility for support.

ACCURACY FIELD CHECK

NOTICE Perform the Accuracy Field Check procedure immediately upon unboxing of each new Laser Level Detector and before exposure to job site conditions. See “Accuracy Field Check” for information. Should any deviation from listed product accuracy be found, please con- tact a MILWAUKEE service facility. Failure to do so could result in rejection of warranty claim.

Influences on Accuracy

Sunlight or other extreme lighting conditions can inversely impact accuracy. For best results, use indoors or avoid direct sunlight.
Abusive treatment of the Laser Level Detector, such as excessive impacts from drop, can lead to devia- tions in product accuracy.
Therefore, it is recommended to conduct the Field Check procedure after any impact or before complet- ing any critical jobs.
For best results, use with MILWAUKEE Lasers.

Horizontal Leveling Accuracy

1. Set up compatible laser 33′ from flat wall. Turn on lasers horizontal beam.
2. Ensure the laser source is self leveled and perpendicular to wall.
3. Place detector flat on wall directly in front of the laser source and slightly below the projected laser line.
4. Keeping the detector bottom parallel with the ground, raise detector until down arrow appears.
5. Lower detector until center line appears.
6. Mark a line on the wall – Point I.
7. Continue to lower detector until up arrow appears.
8. Raise detector until center line appears.
9. Mark a line on the wall – Point II.
10. Measure the distance between Point I and Point II – divide by 2.
    

MAINTENANCE

WARNING To reduce the risk of injury, always remove the battery before perform- ing any maintenance. Never disassemble the tool.

Maintain Laser Detector

Maintain tools. If damaged, have the tool repaired before use. Accidents may be caused by poorly maintained tools.

WARNING To reduce the risk of personal in- jury and damage, never immerse your tool in liquid or allow a liquid to flow inside them.

Cleaning

Keep tool housing clean, dry and free of oil or grease.

Some of these include gasoline, turpentine, lacquer thinner, paint thinner, chlorinated cleaning solvents, ammonia and household detergents containing ammonia. Never use flammable or combustible solvents around tools.

Cleaning the Sensor Window

Blow off loose particles with clean compressed air.
Carefully wipe the surface with a cotton swab moistened with water.
