3L360TM OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Battery Instructions
To charge this battery pack simply insert the charger plug into the charging
socket on the Li-ion battery pack itself. The LED on the charger is illuminated
red during the charging process and will turn green once the battery is fully
charged.
When the power LED on the keypad ashes, the rechargeable battery pack
needs recharging or standard “AA” batteries need replacing. Note the
charger will only charge the supplied rechargeable battery pack.
Handy Hints
• Prior to initial use, fully charge the rechargeable battery.
• If when you insert a battery pack the laser does not power up try re-
loading the battery pack to make sure there is a good connection.
• Remember the 3L360™ can operate using standard “AA” batteries
when rechargeable pack is out of charge or charging.
• When laser is not going to be used for an extended period of time it is
best to remove both “AA” and Rechargeable pack if installed.
The 3L360’s have two battery options either 4 x standard “AA” size Alkaline
or the Li-ion rechargeable pack. For standard 4 x “AA” alkaline operation
simply insert “AA” batteries into standard battery holder in the direction
indicated and slide the holder into battery recess and close the battery
compartment cover.
To use the rechargeable
battery pack rst
remove standard pack
if inserted and place
into the same battery
recess in direction
indicated and close the
battery compartment
cover.

Turning On the 3L360
To power up, simply unlock the pendulum by moving it to the “ON” position,
this will automatically self level the laser and power up the horizontal beam.
If when you unlock the pendulum all laser ash and a beeping sound is
emitted then the laser is out of self levelling range, place the laser on a more
level surface for the device to self level and power up.
To power up the other lasers press the right function button on the keypad,
each press will cycle trough the dierent lasers. 1st press powers up the
front vertical, 2nd press the side vertical, 3rd press both verticals and 4th
press all laser lines. To power down the laser level simply re-lock the
pendulum by switching it to the “OFF” Position.
Always transport the 3L360 laser level with the pendulum in the locked “OFF”
position to protect the device when not being used.

Manual Mode
Manual mode allows you to turn on one or more of the 360 degree lines with
the pendulum in the locked position and so allows you to set up a laser line
at an angle such as for installing balustrades. Manual mode is activated by
pressing the manual mode left button when the pendulum is in the locked
“OFF” position. The manual mode LED light will ash warning you that the
laser is not self levelling. You can turn on the various lines in the normal way
by using the right laser function button.
Note that the 3L360R left button has two functions, Manual Mode and Pulse
Mode. See page 10
Unit featured is 3L360R in manual mode. Also pictured is an optional iet68 elevating tripod and
optional GD12 grade dial plate; a camera style tripod with pan and tilt will provide a similar result.

Pulse Mode (3L360R only)
Pulse mode is only available on the 3L360R red beam model. Pulse mode

patios, decking etc.
To enable pulse mode you press the left function button once when the laser
is powered up. The Pulse LED light on the left will indicate when pulse mode

• A press of the Power button on the receiver will turn on and o
the receiver.
• Pressing the Speaker button toggles speaker on and o.
The LLR705 has 3 LED light displays which indicate laser is above, below and
on level and a large LCD display which has a progressive display indicating
when the laser gets closer to the level mark. If the receiver is left turned on
without a laser being received it will auto power down after 10 minutes. For
picking up horizontal lines hold the receiver as shown below, for picking up
vertical lines place on its side.

3L360 Mounting Options
The 3L360’s come with a magnetic mounting bracket and this mounting
bracket features an elevating plate which allows the height of the horizontal
laser line to be nely adjusted. The elevating plate also features a locking
knob to prevent the lasers height changing once set.
The bracket and laser housing features a 5/8” survey thread which allows the
3L360 to be mounted onto an indoor elevating tripod such as the RedBack
Lasers IET68 or outdoor heavy duty tripod HDF94. The bracket and housing
of the laser level also feature a 1/4” thread allowing it to be mounted onto
a camera style tripod.
Finally the bracket features strong vertical magnets that allow mounting onto
ferrous metals for installation applications.

Calibration & Self Check
All Redback Lasers have been checked for calibration and certied by one
of our technicians here in Australia prior to despatch and should under
normal conditions not go out of calibration. A calibration certied sticker
with the date and name of technician is located on the laser itself. It is
worth checking calibration from time to time particularly after any known
knocks or drops. An easy way to continually check calibration is to always
double check you work with the laser located in a dierent position or use
an alternate vertical line. Various other methods for checking calibration can
be found at www.redbacklasers.com.au/downloads or the laser can
be returned to our service department for checking and re-calibration. We
at Redback Lasers provide a once o free calibration and check within the
duration of the warranty period see page 16 for details.
