4. Operating Instructions

The BINTA BTN013 features two buttons for operation: an ON/OFF button and a Function (W) key.

Figure 4: Device Buttons and Display Overview

4.1 Power On/Off

• Press the ON/OFF button once to turn the device on.
• Press and hold the ON/OFF button for approximately 3 seconds to turn the device off.
• The device will automatically shut down after 3 minutes of inactivity to conserve battery.

4.2 Absolute and Relative Measurement Modes

The angle finder supports two measurement modes:

• Absolute Measurement: Measures the angle relative to a true horizontal surface (0°). This is the default mode.
• Relative Measurement: Allows you to set any surface as a temporary 0° reference point to measure angles relative to that specific surface.

1. To switch to Relative Measurement mode, place the device on the desired reference surface.
2. Short press the ON/OFF button. The display will show "REF" and reset to 0.00°.
3. Move the device to measure angles relative to this new reference.
4. To return to Absolute Measurement mode, short press the ON/OFF button again. The "REF" indicator will disappear.

4.3 Unit Switching (°/%)

• To switch between degrees (°) and percentage (%), press and hold the W key.
• The display will show either the degree symbol (°) or the percentage symbol (%) next to the measurement.

4.4 Data Hold Function

• To lock the current measurement on the display, short press the W key.
• An "H" symbol will appear on the display, indicating that the data is held.
• Short press the W key again to release the data hold and resume live measurement.

4.5 Automatic Screen Rotation

The display automatically rotates 180° when the device is inverted, ensuring easy readability from any orientation.

5. Maintenance

5.1 Cleaning

• Wipe the device with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• While the device is IP54 rated for water and dust resistance, avoid submerging it in water or exposing it to heavy sprays.

5.2 Battery Care

• Charge the device regularly, especially if it has not been used for an extended period.
• Avoid completely draining the battery frequently to prolong its lifespan.

5.3 Storage

• Store the angle finder in the provided storage pouch when not in use to protect it from dust and scratches.
• Keep the device in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

6. Troubleshooting

6.1 Inaccurate or Fluctuating Readings

• Device Movement: The device is highly sensitive. Ensure it is placed on a stable surface and avoid touching or bumping it during measurement. Even slight movements can cause readings to fluctuate.
• Calibration: If you suspect persistent inaccuracy, try recalibrating the device by placing it on a known level surface and using the relative measurement function to zero it out.
• Surface Condition: Ensure the measurement surface is clean and free of debris that could affect stability.

6.2 Display Issues

• Dim Display: Ensure the battery is sufficiently charged.
• Slow Refresh Rate: This is a characteristic of some VA displays. Allow a moment for the reading to stabilize.

6.3 Charging Problems

• Slow Charging: Charging times can vary. Ensure you are using the provided Type-C cable and a reliable USB power source.
• No Charge Indication: Check the charging cable and USB power source for proper connection and functionality.
