Introduction
The safety instructions (see Safety Instruc-
tions) and the user manual shouldbe read
through carefullybefore the product is used
for the first time.
The person responsible for the product must
ensure that all users understand these directionsand adhere to them.
The symbols used have the following meanings:
WARNING
Indicatesa potentiallyhazardous situation or an
unintended use which, if not avoided, willresult in
death or serious injury.
CAUTION
Indicatesa potentiallyhazardous situation or an
unintended use which, if not avoided, may result in
minor injury and/or appreciable material, financial
and environmental damage.
Levelling lock
Level ling unlock ed
In the unlockedposition the instrument automatically levelsitselfwithin the specified inclination range. (See Technicaldata)
Level ling lock ed
Turn the levelling lock in order to transport or tilt
the instrument beyond the self-levelling range.
When locked, the pendulum is fixed and the selflevelling function isdeactivated. In this case the
laser blinks every 5sec.
Important paragraphs which must be
adhered to in practice as they enable the
product to be used in a technically correct
and efficient manner.

Instrument Set-up
Laser receiver
To be able to detect the laser lines over long distances or inunfavourable lighting conditions, a
laser receiver can be used.
We recommend the Leica RGR200 laser
receiver.
The Lino is powered by XRANGE technologyand
therefore automaticallydetected by the receiver.
Li-Ion battery
Charge Li-Ion battery
Charge the Li-Ion battery before using it for the
first time. While charging, the instrument may heat
up. This isnormal and should not affect the instrument´s lifespan or performance. At the recommended storage temperature of -20°C to +30°C
(-4°F to +86°F), batteries containing a 50% to
100% charge can be stored up to 1 year. After this
storage period the batteries must be recharged.
CAUTION
Connecting the charger using the wrong adapter
may causeserious damage to the instrument. Any
damage caused by misuse is not covered by warranty. Use only Leica-approved chargers, batteries and cables. Unapproved chargers or cables
can causethe battery to explode or damage the
instrument.

Accuracy Check
Accu racyCh eck
Check the accuracy of your Leica Lino regularly and particularlybefore important measuring tasks.Check Levelling lockbefore
checking the accuracy.
Levelling
Checki ng the accurac y of the levelling
Set the instrument on a tripod half-way between
two walls (A+B) that are approx. 5 m apart. Place
the lockswitch in the "Unlocked" position (see Lev-
elling lock). Direct the instrument at wall A and
switch on the instrument. Activate the horizontal
laser line or laser point and mark the position of
the line or the point on wall (A1). Rotate the instrument by 180° and mark the horizontal laser line or
the laser point in exactlythe same way on wall
(B1).
Then place the instrument at the same elevation
as close as possible to wall A and again mark the
horizontal laser line or the laser point on wall A
(A2). Rotate the instrument by 180° again and
mark the laser on wall B (B2). Measure the distances of the mar ked points A1-A2 and B1-B2.
Calculate the difference of the two measurements.
|(A1 - A2) - (B1 - B2)| <=2 mm
If the difference does not exceed 2 mm, then the
Leica Lino is within tolerance.
Should your Leica Lino be outside of the specified tolerance, please contact a localdealer
or an authorised Leica Geosystems distributor.
Leica Lino L2/L2G

Accuracy Check
Vertical and horizontal line
Checki ng the accurac y of the horizontal line
Placethe lock switch in the "Unlocked" position
(see Levelling lock). Position the instrument
approx. 5 m away from the wall. Direct the instrument at the wall and switchon. Activate the laser
lineand mark the intersection point of laser
crosshairs on the wall. Swivelthe instrument to the
right and then to the left. Observe the verticaldeviation of the horizontal line from the marking. If the
difference does not exceed 3 mm, then the Leica
Lino is within tolerance.
Checki ng the accurac y of the vertic al line
Placethe lock switch in the "Unlocked" position
(see Levelling lock). As a reference, use a plumb-
bob and attach it as closeas possible to an approx.
3 m high wall. Position the instrument at a distance
of approx. 1.5 m from the wall at an elevation of
approx. 1.5 m. Direct the instrument at the wall
and switch on. Rotate the instrument and align it
with the bottom of the plumb line. Now read off the
maximum deviation of the laser line from the top of
the plumb line. If the difference does not exceed 2
mm, then the Leica Lino is within tolerance.
Should your Leica Lino be outside of the specified tolerance, please contact a localdealer
or an authorised Leica Geosystems distributor.

Care
Care
Never immerse the device in water. Wipe off dirt
with a damp soft cloth. Never use aggressive
cleaning agents or solvents.Treat the instrument
with the same care that you would applyto binoculars or a camera. Dropping or violent shaking
of the instrument may damage it. Check the instrument for any damage before using it. Check the
levelling accuracy of the instrument regularly.
To warranty the best precision and visibility please
clean the optics of your device regularly. Therefore blow off the dust from the glasses without
touching the opticswith your fingers. If necessary
use a damp soft cloth and a little bit of pure alcohol.
To avoid wrong measurements also clean your
adapters regularly. This could be done also by the
proposed recommendation. Especially the interface between the adapter and device should
always be clean to enable easy rotation. To clean
the magnetic surface you could use compressed
air or modelling clay.
If the equipment get wet always dry it (max.
70°C/158°F) before repacking it into the case.
