6. Operation
Inserting the batteries
First you must remove the battery cover from underneath the laser. When the
battery cover has been removed, you have access to the battery housing.
4 AA batteries are used for the FCL. Alkaline batteries are recommended for
optimum operating time.
Operation
• Switch on the laser by pressing the On and Off button.
• Press the button once: for 2 laser beams.
• Press the button twice: for 4 laser beams.
7. Checking and adjusting the FCL
Checking the accuracy of the laser
For this inspection, you need at least 1.5 m2floor space and someone to help.
 Place the instrument on a flat and even floor and switch all beams on.
 Measure exactly 91 cm along the vertical line of the laser crossing,
beginning at the centre point of the laser crossing. Then mark this point
A(fig. 6).
 Measure exactly 1.22 m along the 90° reference of the laser crossing,
starting at the centre point of the instrument and mark this point B.
 Measure the distance from point Ato B. This distance should be 1.52 m.
