5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Powering On/Off and Self-Leveling

To power on the device, slide the pendulum lock switch to the unlocked position. The laser level will automatically self-level. If the unit is outside its self-leveling range, the laser lines will flash to indicate an unlevel condition. Adjust the unit's position until the lines become steady.

5.3 Pulse Mode for Detector Use

For outdoor use or in bright conditions, activate the pulse mode. This mode allows the laser level to be used with a compatible laser detector (sold separately) to extend the working range up to 50 meters. Refer to your detector's manual for specific instructions on pairing and use.

5.4 Using the Pendulum Lock

When transporting or storing the laser level, always engage the pendulum lock. This protects the internal pendulum mechanism from damage due to vibrations or impacts.
