Troubleshooting
Laser beam is not visible
Ensure the laser is powered on and has a charged battery. Check if the lens is clean and unobstructed. In very bright conditions, use the included receiver.
Laser is not self-levelling
Verify that the laser is placed on a surface that is relatively level. Ensure the unit is not tilted beyond its self-levelling range (typically +/- 5 degrees).
Inaccurate readings
Check if the Smart Slope function is calibrated or if environmental changes have affected accuracy. Ensure the laser has stabilized after setup. Recalibrate if necessary following the manual.
Short battery life
Ensure the battery is fully charged. Utilize Sleep Mode when not actively using the laser. Consider replacing the battery if it is old and no longer holds a charge effectively.
