Power on/off button:

  Use the power on/off button to power your device on and off. In case of any  

critical situation you can switch off your device at any time. The functionality of the device will not be  

affected.

Handle button:

 In the first place the handle button is used to navigate through the single menu items. 

If you are using the Android Smart Phone this button is also used to fix the current scan directions 
which is visible in the screen.

Additional information about that procedure you may find in chapter 6.1.3 „Scan with activated Smart
Phone“ 
on page 25.

Green multi-function button:

  The green multi-function button is used to confirm the current menu 

selection and to start and stop the measurements. It is also used to switch the LED lights and the laser 

pointer on and off.

Display:

 In the display of the device you will see all of the available menus and several status messages, 

i.e. the calibration and the measurement results.

Calibration Control:

 This regulator is used to calibrate the device during the bionic measurement to 

adjust it for the current environment.

Holder for Smart Phone:

  When using the  Bionic X4  you have the possibility to connect it with an 

Android Smart Phone to have additional graphical options for directional reference. Just place the Smart 
Phone into the attached holder.

USB port:

 The USB port may be used to charge the Android Smart Phone. If you are using the Smart  

Phone for your measurements you just need to connect it via USB cable with the device to reach a 

longer working time, since the Smart Phone is charged while working. The USB port is always powered 
on as long as the Power Pack is switched on, even when the Bionic X4 is powered off.

LED lights:

 You may use the LED lights during searches at night.

Laser pointer:

  The laser pointer can be used at night searches for optical directional reference. The 

laser pointer is just some additional tool to assist you in determining the position of located objects.

Please pay attention to the security information in chapter 6.4 on page 30.
