power LED operates the same when recharging the battery pack
when it is off the instrument.
Adjustable Foot Screws
Adjust the three adjustable foot screws on the tripodic base, to put
the bubble in the bullseye of the vial (the bubble centered means the
instrument is in its self-leveling range).

8. Self-Check and Calibration
IMPORTANT: It is the responsibility of the user to verify the
calibration of the instrument before each use.
Horizontal Line for Level
1. Set the laser unit on a tripod or flat surface approximately 10’ away
from a reference wall.
2. Unlock the transportation lock on the unit.
3.
Press the horizontal laser line button (H) and the vertical laser line button (V1).
4. Point the cross line at the reference wall (It is important to see the
laser line very clearly. This test should be preformed indoors and
in low light conditions).
5. Mark the intersection of the cross line as point A.
6.
Rotate the laser unit counter clockwise until the laser cross line is 8 feet away
from point A (to the left of point A). Mark the laser line at point A as point B.
7. Rotate the laser unit clockwise until the cross line is 8 feet to the right of point A.
8. Mark the laser line a point A as point C.
9. If the distance between point B & C is greater then 1/16” the unit needs
to be recalibrated. (See calibration information).
3Vertical Lines for Plumb
1. Use a plumb line or known vertical reference point.
2. Turn the laser unit on following the instructions above.
3. Rotate the laser unit so the vertical laser line intersects the plumb line.
4. Check all three vertical lines.
5. If the vertical laser line is not parallel with the plumb line (i.e. intersects
at the top and bottom), the unit needs to be recalibrated. (See
calibration information).

Self-Calibration Adjustment
Self-Calibrating the side vertical laser lines (not the front
vertical laser line) for plumb
1. Locate the calibration port inside the battery
compartment.
2. Remove the rubber plug.
3. Unlock the compensator.
4. Use a 3mm hex head wrench.
5. Turn the calibration screw counter clockwise to move the top of the
side vertical lines to the back of the unit (towards the battery compart-
ment). Do not rotate the screw more than 4 rotations.
6. If the side vertical lines can not be brought into plumb after 4 rotations
of the screw,the unit will need to be serviced by Johnson Level & Tool.
Self-Calibrating the horizontal laser line and front vertical laser line
1. Locate calibration port on the side of the laser unit.
2. Remove the plastic screw.
3. Unlock the compensator.
4. Use a 3mm hex head wrench.
5. Rotate the screw counter clockwise to raise the left
side of the horizontal line and to adjust the top of the
front vertical line to the right. Do not rotate the screw more than 4
rotations.
6. If the laser lines can not be brought into calibration after 4 rotations
the unit will need to be serviced by Johnson Level & Tool.
