TROUBLE SHOOTING (CONTINUED)

Error

Cause & Solution

Laser Will Not 

Self-Level

(All Laser Levels)

Outside Levelling Range Or Impact Damage

If the 

Laser Level

 is positioned outside of it’s self levelling range 

of ±5 degrees the rotating laser prism will tilt over to one side (to 

try and locate a level position) and then time-out.

Re-position the 

Laser Level

 so that is is within ±5 degrees of level 

and try again.

If it’s within ±5 degrees of level and the prism remains tilted over 

to one side, turn the laser OFF and On again and try again. If the 

laser will still not self level, it may have received an impact which 

has aff ected the self levelling system.

Laser Not Holding It’s 

Charge

(LL300N, LL300S, 

HV302, HV302G, 

GL422N, Only)

Battery Issue

Check the battery pack. The battery pack may require charging 

or need to be replaced due to age and/or a high number of 

charging cycles.

Check the battery compartment for signs of damage and ensure 

that the compartment is clean and that the battery terminals are 

not corroded.

Detector Not Detect-

ing The Laser Beam

(All Laser Levels)

Multiple Causes

Check the batteries in the detector. They may be low and need 

replacing.

Check the 

Laser Level

 is spinning and producing a visible laser 

beam. You will be able to see the beam on your hands when 

placed in front of the protective lighthouse. 

Check the line of sight and ensure there is no obstructions.

Check that the laser level and detector are within the operat-

ing range. If you are too close to the laser it may not pickup the 

beam. You need to be at least 3m away.

Check that the protective lighthouse glass is clean and free of 

dust and dirt at all times.

Laser Will Not Power 

Off 

(All Laser Levels)

Poor Storage Conditions

If the Spectra Laser will not turn OFF, it is typically due to poor 

storage (stored away wet, stored in a cold unheated building or 

vehicle) etc. which has caused internal condensation to build up 

and aff ect the main circuit board. 

Safely dry the Laser and accessories out thoroughly and try 

again. If this does not resolve the issue, please contact the Ser-

vice Department: 

08000 869 769 

who will be able to advise how 

to sending it for repair.
