low. The batteries should be replaced as soon as
possible.

A built-in sensor automatically detects the orientation of the positioning bracket and calculates the
corresponding distances accordingly.
Integrated telescopic viewfinder
The device is equipped with a telescopic viewfinder
on the right hand side. The viewfinder is especially
helpful when aiming at distant targets. When looking
through the viewfinder, the target is clearly visible
thanks to the 2x magnification. At distances beyond
30 m laser spot is centered on the crosshair, below
30 m the laser spot appears on the edge of the crosshair, which is normal.
Level
The integrated bubble level allows simple horizontal
levelling of the instrument.
