Notes:
• When starting the unit in vertical mode, the laser will not begin
rotation automatically. It will emit a plumb-down beam that you
can use for reference to align the laser. After self-leveling is
complete, press to begin rotation.
• Low speed rotation is recommended for indoor use, since it
improves visibility of the beam.
• High speed rotation is recommended for outdoor use or for use
with the detector, since the faster speed improves the detection
frequency.
Using the Tilt Indicator
The tilt indicator is enabled by default at startup. After powering on
the laser level, the laser beam will begin rotating and the tilt
indicator LED will begin flashing, indicating that the unit is
beginning its 30-second initialization sequence. If the unit is
moved during this time, the laser beam will stop rotating, re-level,
and begin to rotate again. This allows 30 seconds for any final
adjustments. After the 30 second period, the tilt indicator LED will
stop flashing and become solid. If the laser is moved while the tilt
mode LED is solid, the laser beam will stop rotating and begin to
flash. The tilt indicator LED will blink rapidly, alerting the user that
the height of the instrument may have been changed. Press
on the laser level or press on the remote control to reinitiate
the 30-second self-leveling sequence.
The tilt indicator can be disabled by pressing at any time until
the tilt indicator LED turns off.
