3. Setup

Battery Installation/Charging:

The device is battery-powered. Ensure the battery is charged before first use. If the device uses a rechargeable battery, connect the provided USB cable to the charging port (usually located on the side or back) and a suitable USB power source.

Power On/Off:

Press the ON/OFF/REF button to power on the device. To power off, press and hold the ON/OFF/REF button.

4. Operating Instructions

Absolute and Relative Measurement Modes:

The inclinometer supports two measurement modes:

• Absolute Mode (ABS): Measures the angle relative to a true horizontal plane.
• Relative Mode (REF): Allows you to set any surface as a 0-degree reference point for subsequent measurements. Press the ON/OFF/REF button briefly to switch between absolute and relative modes, or to set a new relative zero.

Unit Conversion:

Press the UNIT button to cycle through different measurement units, such as degrees (°), percentage (%), mm/m, and in/ft.

Data Hold Function:

Press the HOLD button to freeze the current measurement on the display. Press it again to release the hold function.

Using the Magnetic Base:

The strong magnetic base allows the inclinometer to be securely attached to metal surfaces, providing hands-free operation for precise measurements. This is particularly useful for setting angles on saw blades or metal frameworks.

Laser Function (if applicable):

Some models may include a laser line projection feature for extended alignment. If present, activate the laser by pressing the dedicated laser button. The laser projects a line to assist with alignment over longer distances.

5. Maintenance

• Keep the device clean and dry. Wipe with a soft, damp cloth.
• Avoid exposing the device to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight.
• Store in a protective case when not in use to prevent damage.
• Do not attempt to disassemble the device, as this will void the warranty.

6. Troubleshooting

Device Not Powering On:

• Ensure the battery is charged.
• Check for any visible damage to the device or charging cable.

Inaccurate Readings:

• Perform auto-calibration as described in the operating instructions.
• Ensure the measuring surface is clean and free of debris.
• Verify the device is placed firmly and flat on the surface being measured.

Displaying 'ERR':

• This typically indicates that the device has been tilted beyond its operational range (e.g., >30 degrees forward or backward from its initial position in some modes). Return the device to a stable position within its measurement range.
