The gauge features a digital display, ON/OFF switch, ZERO reset key, positioning bubble, and a magnetic base. The display indicates battery status, measured value, decimal point, and tilt direction (inward/outward).

3.2 Battery Installation

The device requires batteries for operation. To install or replace batteries:

1. Locate the battery compartment cover on the back of the unit.
2. Slide or unclip the cover to open.
3. Insert the required batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
4. Close the battery compartment cover securely.

3.3 Initial Power On and Zeroing

Before taking any measurements, the gauge must be properly zeroed on a flat, level surface.

1. Place the gauge on a perfectly flat and stable surface.
2. Press the "ON/OFF" button to power on the device.
3. Once the display stabilizes, press the "ZERO" key to reset the reading to 0.00. This establishes your reference point.

4. Operating Instructions

Follow these steps for accurate wheel alignment measurements:

1. Identify Adjustment Need: Use the camber gauge to determine which tire's camber angle requires adjustment.
2. Prepare Vehicle: Ensure the vehicle is on a level surface. If necessary, remove the tire to access the brake disc or other magnetic surface for attachment.
3. Attach Gauge: Securely attach the magnetic base of the camber gauge to the brake disc or a suitable magnetic surface on the wheel hub.
4. Positioning: Adjust the gauge until the positioning bubble is centered. This ensures the gauge is level and provides an accurate reading relative to the vehicle's vertical axis.
5. Power On and Zero: Press the "ON/OFF" button to turn on the device. After the number on the interface stabilizes, press the "ZERO" button to reset the measurement.
6. Read Measurement: The digital display will show the current camber angle. The display also features a backlight for use in dimly lit areas.
7. Adjust Camber: If adjustment is needed, replace the bolt on the shock absorber of the original car with an eccentric bolt. Adjust this eccentric bolt to achieve the desired camber angle.
8. Tighten and Re-measure: Tighten the eccentric nut with a torque wrench to secure the adjustment. Re-measure the camber angle to confirm accuracy.
9. Install Tire: Install the tire and correct any other angles as needed.
