4.Rotatetheunit180°andalignthePlumbDownpointwiththemark
 ontheoor.
5.MarkthePlumbUppointontheceiling.
6.Measurethedistancebetweenthetwomarksontheceiling.Ifthe
 distanceislessthanorequalto3mm,thentheunitiscalibrated.
Checking accuracy – Level
1.PresstheON/OFFkeyonthekeypad.
2. Set up the unit between two walls at a distance of about 2.5m from
each wall.
3.Makeapointononeofthewalls(A1).
4.Rotatetheunit180°,andmarkapointontheoppositewall(A2).
5.Movetheunittoadistanceofabout0.5mawayfromtherstwall,
 rotatetofacetherstwallandmarkasecondpoint(B1).
6.Rotatetheunit180,andmarkasecondpointontheopposite
 wall(B2).
7.Calculate(A1-B1)–(A2-B2).Ifthedifferenceislessthanorequalto
3mm,thentheunitiscalibrated.

12
Checking square (Level to square beam 90° calibration)
1.Findaroomatleast5mlong.Markapoint(A1)ontheooratoneend
of the room.

level beam points toward the far end of the room.
3.Markapoint(A2)ontheooratthecenteroftheroomusingatargetto
 transferthelevelbeamlocationtotheoor.
4.Markapoint(A3)onthefarwallortransferthelevelbeamlocationto
 theoor.
5.MovetheunittopointA2andalignthelevelbeamtopointA3again.
6.Markthelocationofthesquarebeam(A4)ontheoor.
7. Note: Toensureaccuracy,thedistancesfromA1toA2,A2toA3,andA2
 toA4shouldbeequal.
8.Turntheunit90°sothatthelevelbeamalignswithpointA4,without
 movingthepointA2.
9.Markthelocationofthesquarebeam(A5)ontheoorascloseas
 possibletopointA1.
