7. Operation

7.1. Measurement Modes (ABS/REF)

The AG01 offers two measurement modes:

Absolute (ABS) Mode: Measures angles relative to a true horizontal (0° = perfect level). This is the default mode upon power-on.
Relative (REF) Mode: Measures angles relative to any set base. You can set the current position as 0° for relative measurements.

To switch between ABS and REF modes, press the REF/ABS button.

7.2. Unit Conversion (Degrees/Percentage)

The device can display angles in degrees (°) or as a percentage of slope (%).

To switch between these units, long-press the HOLD/UNITS button.

7.3. Angle Hold Function

To freeze the current angle reading on the display:

Short-press the HOLD/UNITS button. The display will show 'HOLD'.
Press the button again to release the hold and resume live measurement.

8. Maintenance

8.1. Cleaning

Wipe the device with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the casing or display.

8.2. Battery Replacement

When the battery indicator on the display shows low power, replace the batteries promptly to ensure accurate readings. Follow the battery installation steps in Section 6.1.

8.3. Storage

Store the device in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. If storing for an extended period, remove the batteries to prevent leakage.

9. Troubleshooting

Problem	Possible Cause	Solution
Device does not power on	Dead or incorrectly installed batteries.	Check battery polarity or replace with new AAA batteries.
Inaccurate readings	Device not properly calibrated or placed on an unstable surface.	Ensure the device is on a stable, flat surface. If issues persist, try recalibrating (refer to advanced settings if available, or contact support).
Display is dim or flickering	Low battery power.	Replace batteries.
Buttons unresponsive	Device malfunction or low battery.	Replace batteries. If the problem continues, contact customer support.

10. User Tips

For consistent accuracy, always ensure the measurement surface is clean and free of debris.
Utilize the 3-sided magnetic base for hands-free operation on metal workpieces, which can significantly improve stability and precision.
Remember to switch to REF mode when you need to measure an angle relative to a non-level surface, setting that surface as your new 'zero'.
The automatic screen flip feature is very convenient; don't hesitate to use the device upside down or at awkward angles.
