INSTALLATION OF THE BATTERY
The laser is equipped with a NiMH battery pack. Insert the rechargeable battery box into the instrument.

CHARGING THE BATTERY
Connect the charger with the charging plug of the instrument and 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 battery has to be recharged.

OPERATION

Set up the instrument on an even surface or mount it onto a tripod.
After switching on the unit the flashing laser diode indicates that the automatic self-levelling procedure is working. The laser starts rotating when self-levelled. If not the laser was set up out of the selflevelling range (±5°). An audible alarm sounds. Re-set the instrument on more even surface.
TILT FUNCTION
After powering on the laser automatically activates the TILT function. The TILT LED is flashing slowly during the activation procedure. When the activation is completed (after approx. 30 sec.) the LED is illuminated. If the laser is disturbed, the rotation stops and the TILT LED will flash quickly. The laser will not re-level automatically.
If the level of the instrument is disturbed it will readjust itself (within the self-levelling range of 5°).
If the level is disturbed at a large range (for example if a tripod leg has changed by mistake) a height offset will be caused. This will be avoided by the TILT function. The instrument will shut off even within the self-levelling range: Power on the unit and wait until the self-levelling procedure is completed.
In order to deactivate the TILT function press the button (3).
VIBRATION-WIND-SECURITY FUNCTION (V-W-S)
Press the button (5) to activate V-W-S. The V-W-S LED (6) is illuminted and the TILT LED (4) starts flashing. When the V-W-S LED (6) and the TILT LED are both illuminated V-W-S is activated. The V-W-S function automatically activates the TILT function. This function allows continuous operation during periods of vibration and wind. If a significant movement occurs the laser stops rotating and the TILT LED (4) and the laser beam start flashing. Press the V-W-S button (5) to cancel. Press the V-W-S button (5) again to re- activate.

Always remove the batteries if the receiver will not be used for a long period of time to avoid leakage.

BATTERY STATUS INDICATOR
The FR 77-MM front LCD display has four power status symbols.
The receiver will automatically power off when the batteries are empty.

AUTOMATIC POWER-OFF
If the receiver does not receive a laser beam or is not operated for 10 minutes it will automatically power off.
OPERATION
POWER ON
Press the ON/OFF button once to power on the receiver. The LCD display will initialise taking about 0.5 seconds when all the display symbols are illuminated (see diagram, left). The receiver is now ready for use (see diagram, right).
SELECT ACCURACY SETTING
Power on the unit and select the receiving accuracy fine, normal or coarse by pressing the „accuracy button“. The default accuracy setting following Power is „Fine“.

SWITCH ON /OFF THE SOUND
Power on the receiver and press the button „Sound/illumination“ to select the sound and volume required. The symbols in the LCD display show the status of the sound and volume.

Power on the receiver and press the „UNITS“ button sucessively until the required unit symbol appears in the display.

RECEIVE A LASER BEAM
Power on the receiver and make all required settings (i. e. accuracy fine, sound high).
Carefully move the receiver up and down to detect the laser beam.

Indication 1
The laser beam is high „arrow“ is illuminated. Acoustic signal: Slow beep.
->Move the receiver up.| Indication 2
The laser beam is low „arrow“ is illuminated. Acoustic signal:  Fast beep.
->Move the receiver down.| Indication 3
The LED „0-position“ bar is illuminated. Acoustic signal: Continuous beep. -> On level.

PLEASE NOTE:
If the distance between the rotating laser and the receiver is less than 1 m erroneous measurements may occur.
APPLICATION
Connect the clamp to the receiver for use with a laser pole, levelling staff or similar accessory.
For optimum accuracy always level the bubble vials on the receiver before taking measurements.
MM INDICATION
If the reference level of the receiver is e. g. 18 mm below the laser beam this height difference will be displayed by an exact numerical value (see the left diagram).

The laser beam is exactly on-level.| The laser beam is 19 mm above the
reference point (move the receiver
up).| The laser beam is 35 mm below the
reference point (move the receiver
down).

RELATIVE 0-POSITION (REFERENCE POINT)
Within the range of ± 20 mm of the standard reference point (0-position) a relative 0-position can be set. Press the „0SET“ button when the laser beam hits the receiving window (the „0SET“ symbol will flash on the display). This current position of the laser beam is now set as the relative 0-position on the receiver. Press the „0SET“ button to return to the default mode.
