6. Operating Instructions

6.1 Power On/Off

Press the ZERO button (power icon) to turn the device on.
Press and hold the ZERO button to turn the device off.

6.2 Measurement Modes

The device supports two primary measurement modes:

Absolute Angle Mode: Measures the angle relative to a true horizontal surface.
Relative Measurement Mode: Allows you to set any surface as a temporary "zero" reference for measuring subsequent angles relative to that reference.

To switch between modes, press the ZERO button briefly when the device is on. This will toggle between absolute and relative zeroing.

6.3 Changing Units

Press the UNITS button to cycle through the available measurement units:

Degrees (°)
Percentage (%)
Millimeters/Meters (mm/m)
Inches/Feet (IN/FT)

Four examples of the digital angle gauge display showing different measurement units: degrees, percentage, millimeters per meter, and inches per foot.

6.4 Data Hold Function

Press the HOLD button to freeze the current measurement on the display. Press it again to release the hold and resume live measurement.

6.5 Using the Magnetic Base

The V-groove magnetic base allows the device to be securely attached to ferrous metal surfaces, including pipes and curved objects, for hands-free measurement.

7.2 Battery Replacement

When the battery indicator on the LCD display shows low power, replace both AAA batteries promptly to ensure accurate readings. Refer to Section 5.1 for battery installation instructions.

7.3 Storage

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

8. Troubleshooting

Problem	Possible Cause	Solution
Device does not power on.	Dead or incorrectly installed batteries.	Check battery polarity or replace batteries.
Inaccurate readings.	Device not properly calibrated (zeroed) or surface is unstable.	Ensure the device is zeroed on a stable, level surface. Recalibrate if necessary.
Display is dim or flickering.	Low battery power.	Replace batteries.
Magnetic base not holding.	Surface is not ferrous metal or is too thin/uneven.	Ensure attachment to a suitable metal surface.
