Vertical Rotation

1

Place the instrument on its back as shown in the illustration. 

2

Turn the leveling screw (s) underneath the instrument until the 
bubble in the level vial on the operational panel is centered.

Battery Warning Lamp

Flashing : The power is low
ON Solid: Dead batteries
Replace the batteries with new ones.

Auto-leveling Lamp

Flashing : Auto-leveling is in process. When automatic leveling is almost complete, the

flashing rate will be slow. The head will not rotate and the laser beam will not
emit during the auto-leveling process.

ON Solid: Auto-leveling is complete.

The rotary head is active and emits the laser beam.

Turning Auto-leveling Off

To  turn OFF the auto-leveling function (manual mode), press the Auto/Manual control pad
twice in quick succession. The manual mode indicator light will illuminate. The instrument
can be positioned in any direction, the laser beam remains on and the head will rotate.

IMPORTANT: 

In manual mode, the laser beam will not shut off if disturbed! To return to Auto-leveling mode,
press Auto/Manual control pad once.
