Charging directly to rechargeable battery pack

Charging to the laser

Note:

When the power indicator light is flashing on the charger, the battery

is low and the life of the battery can be extended when charging the battery in its lowest voltage. Charge the rechargeable battery every two or three months if the laser will be unused for a long period of time.

Before Using Your Laser Level

When you charge the new battery or one which has not been used

for long periods of time, it may not reach full charge until after you have discharged it fully in use and recharge it several times.

Instrument Usage

1. Put in Ni-MH rechargeable battery pack, or 4 “C” alkaline batteries

(not included, except in 40-6526), or connect the 6V DC battery adaptor to the unit’s power jack.

2. Place the laser on a platform or tripod, connecting with tripod to

the 5/8" screw thread at the bottom of the instrument. Note: If the laser is inclined beyond the self-leveling range, the

laser will deliver an audible alarm. You will need to re-position the laser inside of its self-leveling range.
