Introduction
The safety instructions (see Safety Instruc-
tions) and the user manual should be read
through carefully before the product is used
for the first time.
The person responsible for the product must
ensure that all users understand these dir-
ections and adhere to them.
The symbols used have the following meanings:
WARNING
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation or an
unintended use which, if not avoided, will result in
death or serious injury.
CAUTION
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation or an
unintended use which, if not avoided, may result
in minor injury and/or appreciable material, fin-
ancial and environmental damage.
Important paragraphs which must be
adhered to in practice as they enable the
product to be used in a technically correct
and efficient manner.
Levelling lock
Levelling unlocked
In the unlocked position the instrument auto-
matically levels itself within the specified
inclination range. (See Technical data)
Levelling locked
Turn the levelling lock in order to transport or tilt
the instrument beyond the self-levelling range.
When locked, the pendulum is fixed and the self-
levelling function is deactivated. In this case the
laser blinks every 5sec.

Instrument Set-up
Laser receiver
To be able to detect the laser lines over long dis-
tances or in unfavourable lighting conditions, a
laser receiver can be used.
We recommend the Leica RGR200 laser
receiver.
The Lino is powered by XRANGE technology and
therefore automatically detected by the receiver.
Li-Ion battery
Charge Li-Ion battery
Charge the Li-Ion battery before using it for the
first time. While charging, the instrument may
heat up. This is normal and should not affect the
instrument´s lifespan or performance. At the
recommended storage temperature of -20°C to
+30°C (-4°F to +86°F), batteries containing a
50% to 100% charge can be stored up to 1 year.
After this storage period the batteries must be
recharged.
CAUTION
Connecting the charger using the wrong adapter
may cause serious damage to the instrument.
Any damage caused by misuse is not covered by
warranty. Use only Leica-approved chargers, bat-
teries and cables. Unapproved chargers or
cables can cause the battery to explode or dam-
age the instrument.
