Start up Leica Lino ML series 785880 en
3 Insert the battery compartment cover on the
bottom side first and then insert the compart-
ment completely until it is fully closed.
4 Then lock the compartment by turning the release
screw a 1/4 turn (counter clock wise).
)The battery symbol 6 lights up when the
battery voltage is too low. Replace the batteries as
soon as possible.
• Insert the batteries observing the correct polarity
• Use alkaline batteries or rechargeable batteries
only.
• Remove the batteries if the instrument is not to
be used for a long period of time (to prevent
corrosion).
Charging the rechargeable battery
pack / first-time use
• In case that your Lino ML is equipped with a
rechargeable battery pack you can recharge the
battery pack with the supplied Lino ML charger
(Art Nr. 784967) by connecting the charger to the
jack on the battery door.
• The battery must be charged prior to first use
because it is delivered with as low an energy
content as possible.
• A full charging cycle takes 8 hours and the
charging will automaticly stop after a full cycle.
Each time the charger is connected to the unit a
charging cycle will be initiated. See also battery
status indications on the interface in section
"Interface" on page 4.
• The permissible temperature range for charging is
between 0°C and +40°C/+32°F and +104°F. For
optimal charging we recommend charging the
batteries at a low ambient temperature of +10°C
to +20°C/+50°F to +68°F if possible.
• It is normal for the battery to become warm
during charging.

Self-levelling and Lock functions
The instrument automatically levels itself within the
specified leveling range (Refer to section "Technical
data" on page 19) .
Leveling process is indicated by the LEDs. See Inter-
face desciption on page 4.
Using the Laser with a receiver
To be able to detect the laser lines over long
distances (> 15 m) or in unfavourable lighting condi-
tions, a laser receiver can be used. Laser lines can be
detected by a receiver that is able to detect pulsed
laser lines. The lines of the Lino ML are permanently
pulsed and are compatible with the range of recom-
mended Leica laser receivers.
)See section "Working with receivers" on
page 9.

Manual fine adjustment of vertical
lines
The Lino ML90 and ML180 lasers feature the possi-
bility to manually turn the unit 360° around its center
axis and the possibility to fine adjust the unit by ± 4°
turning around the plumb axis. On the ML180 the fine
adjustment can be set to its 0° position by pressing
both mode keys 2and 3(see page 4) at the same
time for more than 2 seconds.
By turning the adjustment knob the laser beams can
be aligned manually.
)Additionally to the manual fine adjustment
possibility described above, the Lino ML180 has the
possibility to automatically align itself to the position
of the Leica XCR Catch remote/receiver. For a detailed
description of all functions, please, refer to the
section "Working with receivers" from page 9.
