Calibration
For accurate measurements, calibrate the angle finder on a flat, level surface. Place the device on the surface, then press and hold the ZERO button until the display shows '0.00'. This sets the current surface as the reference zero point.

Operating Instructions
Power On/Off
Press the ON/OFF button to turn the device on. To turn it off, press and hold the ON/OFF button.
Measurement Modes (Absolute/Relative)
The device supports two measurement modes: Absolute (ABS) and Relative (REF). Press the MODE button to switch between these modes. In Absolute mode, measurements are relative to a true horizontal plane. In Relative mode, you can set any surface as a temporary zero reference.

Unit Switching
The LG-ANGLE offers four measurement units: degrees (°), percent (%), mm/m, and in/ft. Short press the UNIT button to cycle through these units to suit your specific application.

Maintenance
Cleaning and Storage
Wipe the device with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Store the angle finder in a dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
Battery Care
Ensure the device is fully charged before extended storage. Recharge the battery periodically if not in use to maintain battery health.
Durability and IP Rating
The LG-ANGLE is designed for durability and has an IP54 rating, meaning it is dust-protected and splash-resistant, suitable for light outdoor and indoor use.

Troubleshooting
"Err" Message on Display
If the display shows "Err", it indicates that the angle gauge's tilt angle is outside its operational range, typically beyond 30 degrees from horizontal. Adjust the device to be within the measurement range.

Inaccurate Readings
If you suspect inaccurate readings, perform a calibration as described in the Setup section. Ensure the surface used for calibration is truly flat and level. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
