Setup
1. Charging the Battery
The Funguard Green Laser Level is equipped with a built-in 2600mAh lithium battery, providing up to 14 hours of continuous operation on a full charge.
- Connect the provided Type-C charging cable to the charging port on the side of the laser level.
- Connect the other end of the cable to a standard USB power adapter (not included).
- The LED indicator will show charging status. A full charge typically takes several hours.

2. Mounting the Device
The laser level can be mounted using its 1/4"-20 threaded mount or the included magnetic L-bracket.
- Magnetic L-Bracket: Attach the L-bracket to the bottom of the laser level using the 1/4"-20 screw. The bracket's strong magnets allow it to be securely attached to metal surfaces. The bracket also allows for 360-degree rotation of the laser level.
- Tripod Mounting: The 1/4"-20 threaded mount is compatible with most standard camera tripods or laser poles (not included).

Operating Modes
The Funguard Green Laser Level offers three distinct operating modes: Self-Leveling, Manual, and Pulse.
1. Self-Leveling Mode
- To activate, slide the Pendulum/Transit Lock switch to the "unlocked" position.
- The laser level will automatically self-level within a range of 3° ± 1°.
- If the device is outside this range, the laser lines will flash automatically, and an audible alert may sound, indicating it cannot self-level. Adjust the device's position until the lines become steady.
- Leveling and compensation typically occur within 3 seconds.

2. Manual Mode
- To activate, slide the Pendulum/Transit Lock switch to the "locked" position.
- In this mode, the self-leveling function is disabled, and the laser cross is locked. This allows you to project lines at any desired angle, such as for installing handrails or decorative elements.
- The laser lines may flash every 5 seconds to indicate that it is in manual mode and not self-leveling.
3. Pulse Mode
- Pulse mode is designed for use with a laser detector (not included) to extend the working range up to 164ft (50M), especially useful in bright outdoor conditions.
- To activate Pulse Mode, ensure the device is in Self-Leveling Mode (pendulum unlocked). Short press the Operation Button twice quickly.
- The laser beams will appear dimmer, and the LED indicator will display a breathing light pattern to confirm Pulse Mode is active.
- To exit Pulse Mode, short press the Operation Button twice again.
4. Line Switching Modes
Press the Operation Button to cycle through different laser line configurations:
- Horizontal Line: Projects a single horizontal laser line.
- Vertical Line: Projects a single vertical laser line.
- Cross Lines: Projects both horizontal and vertical lines simultaneously.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Regularly clean the laser window and the device's exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Storage: When not in use, store the laser level in its EVA camera bag in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight. Ensure the pendulum is in the "locked" position during storage and transport to prevent damage.
- Battery Care: For optimal battery life, avoid fully discharging the battery frequently. Recharge the device periodically if stored for extended periods.
- Protection: The device is IP54 rated for dust and splash resistance. While durable, avoid submerging it in water or exposing it to heavy rain.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Laser lines are flashing and/or beeping in Self-Leveling Mode. | The device is tilted beyond its self-leveling range (3° ± 1°). | Place the laser level on a more level surface until the lines become steady. |
| Laser lines are dim or not visible outdoors. | Bright ambient light conditions. | Activate Pulse Mode and use a compatible laser detector for extended range and visibility. |
| Device does not turn on. | Battery is discharged. | Charge the device using the provided Type-C cable. |
| Laser lines are projected at an angle in Manual Mode. | This is expected behavior for Manual Mode. | Ensure the pendulum is locked. Manual mode allows for angled projections. If you need a level line, switch to Self-Leveling Mode. |
