Operation

/// Switching on and levelling:

Note:

 The short horizontal white line inside the circle is moving vertically and it represents the 

rotation around the Y-axis� When it matches the white line, the device will be in balance with 
the Y-axis, then the line color will turn from white to green�

The three buttons represent the three stand levelers� The arrows show in which direction they 
have to be adjusted (green = up; red = down)�

The other two moving lines:
The red angular line pivoting around the center of the circle represents the rotation of the 
device around the X-axis� When the line is horizontal (matching the white line), the device will 
be in balance with the X-axis, and then the line color will turn from red to green�
