POWER SUPPLY
Both the standard NiMH battery pack and Alkaline batteries can be used.
-
Insert Alkaline batteries into the Alkaline battery box (ensure correct polarity) and mount the battery box into the instrument.
OR -
Mount the rechargeable battery box into the instrument.
CHARGING THE BATTERY
Connect the charger with the charging plug of the instrument and the power
source. If the charging LED is red the battery is being charged; if the LED is
green the battery is fully charged.
ATTENTION
The rechargeable battery can be charged if it is in the instrument or if it is
ouside.
Battery status indication: If the ON/OFF LED flashes the battery has to be
recharged.

OPERATION
HORIZONTAL USE
Set up the instrument on an even surface or mount it onto a tripod.
VERTICAL USE
Set up the instrument vertically (on the side with the vertical 5/8“ hole) or
mount it onto a tripod with its vertical 5/8“ thread.
HORIZONTAL USE
After powering on the unit a flashing laser diode indicates that the automatic
self-levelling procedure is working. The laser starts rotating when it is
self-levelled. If not the laser was set up outside of its selflevelling range.
In this case set up the instrument on a more even surface.

| 2. ON/OFF LED | 5. TILT LED |
| 3. MANUAL button | 6. TILT button |
POWER ON/OFF (1)
Power the laser on/off with button (1). If the red ON/OFF LED (2) is
illuminated the laser is powered on. First the laser dot is flashing, then the
self-levelling procedure starts automatically; meanwhile the TILT LED (5) is
flashing. When the self-levelling procedure is completed the laser rotates
with 600 rpm and the TILT LED (5) is illuminated permanently (= TILT function
activated).
If in normal use the ON/OFF LED (1) flashes the battery has to be recharged.
TILT MODE (6)
After completion of the self-levelling procedure the TILT mode is
automatically enabled.
If the level is now disturbed the rotation stops and the TILT LED is flashing.
- Press the TILT button (6) once: The rotation of the laser starts – but the TILT mode is disabled.
- Press the TILT button (6) twice: The rotation of the laser starts, the self-levelling procedure is completed and the laser restarts working with enabled TILT mode.
Press button (6) to disable the TILT mode after completion of the self- levelling procedure.
MANUAL MODE (3)
Power on the laser with button (1). After completion of the self-levelling
procedure press button (3). The TILT LED (5) will power off and the MANUAL LED
(4) will be illuminated permanently. Now the laser can be used in slope
position, i. e. it can be used with a grade mount without giving TILT alarm.
In vertical position a required alignment can be made quick and safe by means
of the MAN function. When the alignment has been made quit the MAN function.

Press the button (5) to switch the unit on.
Move the receiver up and down carefully to detect the laser beam.
A Move the receiver down Acoustic signal : ultra-short requent beep
B Move the receiver up Acoustic signal: short requent beep
C On level Acoustic signal: continuous beep
A+B: The closer the distance to „on level“ (C) is, the shorter the arrows
become.
