5. Using the Product
Key Guide
There are four key pads on this instrument, they are (from left
to right): calibration/sound key, mode key, hold/backlight key and the
power on/off key.
Calibration/Sound Key
A short press will activate the sound function. A long press
(more than 2 seconds) will activate the calibration function.
Periodic checking should be conducted to this instrument. f it is out
of alignment, recalibration will be necessary. This key pad is used for
horizontal and vertical calibration of the instrument. See the
“Self-Check and Calibration” in section 6.
Push the Cal/Sound a short press to turn on the horn (symbol
will be displayed). Push again to turn off. Horn will start a slow beep
at 10º and 80º and beep faster the closer you get to 0º or 90º. Once
the instrument hits 0º or 90º, you will get a steady tone.

Automatic Shut-off
This instrument will shut-off automatically if no operation is received
within 20 minutes.
Hold/Backlight Key
Set the level in place and press this key a short press to enter
into the hold status, record the current angle of the flashing
display, the displayed value will not change. Press this key again to
release the hold and the data will vary according to slope. A long
press (more than 2 seconds) will turn on the LCD backlight.
Power n/ ff Key
Power on and off the instrument by pressing this key.
Mode Key
Push the MODE key to switch from one construction language
to another. This controls which construction language your
electronic module will measure in. Your level has the capability to
measure in Degrees, Percentage of slope, Millimeters per Meter, nches
per Foot (Slope/Pitch) in decimal form and nches per Foot in fractions
of an inch. A symbol on the upper right of the screen will display
which MODE you are currently in.

6. Self-Check & Fine Calibration
Horizontal Accuracy Check
1. Turn on the digital level and put it on a smooth and level
surface as shown in figure 1. Wait 10 seconds until the display
digits are stable and record the degree reading.
2. Rotate the digital level 180º in the same plane, see figure 2,
wait 10 seconds until the display data is stable then record
the second degree reading.
3. Turn over the digital level in the same plane, figure 3, wait 10
seconds and record the third degree reading when it is stable.
4. Rotate the digital level 180º in the same plane, figure 4, wait
10 seconds and write down the fourth degree reading when
stable.
5. Of the four degree readings, if any two of the values have a
difference over 0.2º, the unit must be recalibrated.

• f the unit does not turn on, clean the battery terminals, check the
battery polarity or install new alkaline batteries.
• f the unit will not turn off, hold the power button in for several
seconds until the unit turns off.
• f the unit is out of calibration or the numbers are inverted, confirm
that the unit is not in “hold” mode when the arrows are blinking on
each side of the digital readout. Push the“hold” button to disengage
the “hold” function before attempting calibration. Follow the
calibration procedure in the user manual (section 6).
• f the unit will not calibrate, contact our Customer Service

CAL/SON DO, MODE, HOLD/ LUM NAC ÓN POSTER OR y
ENCEND DO/APAGADO.
Botón CAL/S NID (para Calibración / Sonido)
Presione el botón brevemente para activar la función de
sonido. Presione el botón por más de 2 segundos para activar la
función de calibración. Verifique la precisión del instrumento
periódicamente. Este botón se utiliza para la calibración horizontal y
vertical del instrumento. Si está desalineado, será necesario
recalibrarlo. Lea “Auto-Chequeo y Calibración” en la sección 6.
Presione el botón CAL/SON DO brevemente para activar el sonido (el
símbolo del pito deberá aparecer en la pantalla). Presione de nuevo
para apagar. Un pitido lento empezará a sonar a 10º y 80º y sonará
más rápidamente entre más se acerque a 0º o 90º. Cuando el instru-
mento alcanza 0º o 90º, el tono se vuelve constante.
