POWER SUPPLY
Rechargeable battery pack
• The instrument is supplied with a rechargeable
Ni-MH battery pack that is located in the base of the instrument.
• The rechargeable battery pack is supplied only partially charged. Charge the rechargeable battery pack before use. Keep the rechargeable battery pack in the carry case when not in the laser level.
• The power indicator light will flash when the battery is low. The instrument should be recharged as soon as possible.
• Battery pack capacity decreases at low temperatures; a depleted pack may not function when cold.
Indoor charger
• The indoor charger is for indoor use only.

Level surface set up
• Select a place as close and practical to the work site as possible, and ensure that the location is clear of traffic.
• Place the laser level onto a reasonably level surface with the lighthouse facing upwards.
Tripod set up
• Select a place as close and practical to the work site as possible, and ensure that the location is clear of traffic.
• Extend the tripod legs to the required height and then spread the legs wide enough so that the tripod platform is stable.
• Place the laser level onto the tripod with the lighthouse facing upwards and thread the yoke into the base until firm. Do not over tighten as this may cause damage to the laser level or tripod.

OPERATION
Powering on
• Press the power button once and the instrument will power on and begin automatically selflevelling. When this levelling process is complete, the penta prism inside the lighthouse will start rotating.
• If the instrument is outside the self levelling range the instrument will not level causing the laser beam and self-levelling icon to flash continuously. If this occurs, reposition the instrument onto a level surface until the instrument can level off.
Powering off
• Press the power button once and the instrument will power off.
Speed control
• Press the speed control button on the remote control to cycle through various rotational speeds.
Sleep mode
• Press the sleep button on the remote control to enter into sleep mode.

USING YOUR LASER (continued)
Tilt alarm
• Once the instrument has been levelled off the tilt alarm can be enabled by pressing the tilt alarm button. The tilt alarm indicator light will flash continuously whilst active.
• If the instrument is disturbed while the alarm is active the instrument will stop rotating and will need to be powered off and on again to reset its level position.
Setting up a manual grade / slope
• To create a manual grade / slope, press the manual grade mode button on the laser control panel or remote control. The instrument will now be in manual mode with the X-axis active. The LED
X / Y axis indicator on the laser control panel will display a solid light to indicate X-axis is selected.
• Press the grade adjustment arrow buttons on the remote control.

CHECKING CALIBRATION
Before doing any precision levelling it is advised to check the calibration of the instrument.
• Set up the laser on a tripod at about 30m facing a wall or staff with a detector.
• Allow the instrument to level.
• Detect and note laser position on the wall or staff.
• Without moving the tripod rotate the instrument
180°.
• Detect and note laser position on the wall or staff.
• Calculate the distance between the two readings.
• The difference should be within 6mm at 30m.
• If the instrument is out of calibration it is advised to send it in to Spot-on.
