12.Battery Door Latch– opens the battery compartment.  
2. Marking Notches (both sides) – align  
with the on-grade portion of the  
photocell and are used to mark elevation  
readings. The marking notches are 50

The Power On/Low Battery LED illuminates  
RED and the vial lights GREEN when the unit  
has been set up inside its self-leveling range.  
When the batteries need to be charged/changed the Power On / Low  
Battery LED flashes RED.  
Note: The receiver mode can be used in automatic self-leveling and in manual  
Installation/Removal  
4. To locate the plumb point over a wall corner or other point place the  
Down Point Beam over the corner or mark. Use the intersecting cross lines  
to determine the top track corner location.  
Note: If the floor track is already installed use the extendable legs to position  
the Down Point over the corner.  
mode.  
CAUTION: The batteries should be removed when storing the laser more  
than 30 days.  
2. To turn OFF the receiver mode, PRESS the RECEIVER button again.  
To turn OFF the unit and the beams, PRESS the buttons V1, H and V2 again  
and turn the compensator lock/ unlock knob to the RIGHT.  
Applications

Installing a Ceiling  
1. Measure up from the floor (or other reference mark) to the finished ceiling  
height.  
2. Install the first piece of wall molding.  
3. Mount the (optional) wall mount with the attached laser to the wall molding.  
4. Adjust the elevation of the wall mount slider so that the level beam is at wall  
molding height. Install the rest of the wall molding.  
5. Lower the laser 5 cm (2.0 in.) on the wall mount so that the level beam is at  
the horizontal target elevation.  
General Leveling and Aligning  
1. Place the laser on a flat surface. The laser must be level within its self-  
leveling range.  
2. Adjust the position of the lines and plumb point so they are at the desired  
positions.  
3. Mark the position of the wall, elevation,  
floor or ceiling.  
Automatic Mode  
1. Turn the compensator knob to the On-Position- the Power On / Low  
Battery LED illuminates RED and the vial lights GREEN when the unit  
has been set up inside its self-leveling range.  
2. The beams can be activated/deactivated using the buttons

Installing and Plumbing a Wall  
Note: When installing the batteries, be sure to note the positive (+) and  
negative (–) diagrams molded on the battery housing.  
6. Install the ceiling’s cross Ts and main Ts.  
1. Place the laser so the Vertical Line Beam  
is positioned over the desired wall location  
(usually indicated by 2 floor marks).  
Note: If the floor track is already installed  
the laser should be setup using the  
extendable legs so the Vertical Line can  
be positioned over the edge of the track.  
2. Use the Vertical Line Beam to position  
the top track.  
3. Use the Vertical Line Beam to position  
the floor track.  
3. When the unit is tilted out of its self-leveling range the vial lights RED, all  
beams flash and the unit beeps a warning tone.  
3. Put the battery pack in place and lock it by turning the knob clockwise.  
Performing Layout for Angles Other than 90°  
1. Set up the unit over the 1st base-line reference point  
2. Use the handle to make a rough alignment to the 2nd base-line reference  
point, then use the fine adjustment knobs for final alignment  
3. Use the angle ring to set the 0-mark on the reference line  
4. Use the handle to roughly align the unit to the required angle position  
5. Use the fine adjustment knobs to adjust the unit until the required angle is  
positioned exactly above the reference line.  
Battery Charger  
Manual Mode  
1. The laser can be taken out of automatic self-leveling mode to perform  
slope work by turning the compensator lock/ unlock knob to the RIGHT.  
2. Press the MANUAL button. The Power On / Low Battery LED illuminates  
RED. The Manual LED flashes RED and the vial lights RED.
