the capacity. Prolonged storage requires periodic recharging of the rechargeable batteries. Do this once a year. Do not completely
drain a rechargeable battery. It will shorten its service life and may cause irreparable damage. The rechargeable batteries will
self-discharge slowly during storage due to the eff ect of leakage conductance. The self-discharge rate depends on the storage
temperature: the higher the storage temperature is, the faster the self-discharge will be. Improper storage conditions of the re-
chargeable batteries may result in an electrolyte spill. If an electrolyte spill occurs, contain the spill with a suitable neutralizer. If the
electrolyte gets into your eyes, immediately fl ush them with plenty of water and seek medical advice. Never operate the product if
the rechargeable battery is damaged. If the rechargeable battery is past its service life, return it to a qualifi ed waste electrical and
electronic equipment (WEEE) collector.
Shipping of rechargeable batteries
Rechargeable batteries can be qualifi ed as hazardous materials, depending on your local regulations. You can transport the
product with rechargeable batteries inside and the rechargeable batteries alone by land. No additional requirements have to be
met. If commissioning the transport from a third party (e.g. a parcel courier service), follow all applicable regulations for hazardous
material transport. Consult a properly qualifi ed professional before shipping. NEVER transport or have damaged rechargeable
batteries transported. Before transport, remove the rechargeable batteries from the product and isolate their terminals, e.g. with
electrical tape. Secure the rechargeable batteries in the transport packaging to prevent shifting in transport. Follow all applicable
national regulations for hazardous material transport.
Mounting the product on a tripod
The product base has a threaded hole for mounting on a tripod with a threaded stud in a matching size. Consult the tripod oper-
ating instructions before mounting the product.
Control panel
The product features a control panel with keys and indicators to operate the product.
Power switch: turns the product on and off . When the product is turned on, the power switch light is on.
Work mode selector: switches from automatic control to manual control and back. The work mode selector light is on in the manual
control mode.
Shock protection control: turns on the shock protection system which stops the product from operating when a shock of the
product is sensed. The shock protection feature helps avoid measurement errors from misalignment of the laser beam caused
by a shock.
Rotational speed control: sets the rotational speed of the laser pointer. Pressing the rotational speed control button repeatedly
cycles through the speed settings in the order specifi ed in the Technical Data table.
Pan angle control: sets the angle of rotation limits for the laser pointer to pan to and from. Pressing the pan angle control button
repeatedly cycles through the pan angle settings in the order specifi ed in the Technical Data table.
Rotation sense selector: switches the sense of rotation of the laser pointer. The two buttons allow you to set the clockwise or
counter-clockwise sense of rotation. Each button has an arrow showing the sense of rotation.
Positioning control: the buttons change the position of the laser pointer, or the projection plane tilt, in the manual control mode.
The horizontal arrow buttons reposition the laser pointer along the X-axis of the Cartesian coordinate system. The vertical arrow
buttons reposition the laser pointer along the Y-axis of the Cartesian coordinate system. The projection plane tilt can be changed
to the extent permitted by the self-levelling feature of the laser pointer.
Laser pointer self-levelling
Caution! Use the laser pointer self-levelling feature only when the tripod threaded stub is set in the horizontal or in the vertical.
Any other orientation between the horizontal and the vertical will be indicated by the product as a self-levelling range overrun.
If the product is oriented at an angle within the laser pointer self-levelling range, the projected laser lines are levelled automatically.
If the projected laser spots are fl ashing, the product is oriented at an angle outside of the laser pointer self-levelling range and
self-levelling will not be eff ective. Reposition the product within the laser pointer self-levelling range so that the projected laser
spots stop fl ashing.
Turning on the product
Press the power switch. The power switch light is steady on and the laser pointer starts projecting the laser spots. One laser beam
is emitted through the laser pointer dome top and another is emitted through one of the sides of the dome. The projected laser
spots are fl ashing while the product checks if its orientation is within the laser pointer self-levelling range. If the check is OK, the
laser pointer starts spinning in the dome.
If the power switch light starts fl ashing when you press the power switch, the supply voltage of the product is too low. Change
the disposable / rechargeable batteries, or recharge the rechargeable batteries installed in the battery holder in the battery com-
partment.
Whenever the product is tilted out of the laser pointer self-levelling range, the laser pointer stops spinning and the projected laser
spots fl ash. If the orientation of the product is changed to within the laser pointer self-levelling range, the projected laser spots stop
fl ashing and the laser pointer starts spinning again, unless stopped with the rotational speed control.
