The lighthouse is sealed and protects the internal components from the environment. Battery Recharging Receptacle ­ is the 4-pin receptacle that the battery recharger plugs into. Battery Housing ­ holds six D-cell Ni-Cd, Ni-MH, or backup alkaline batteries. 4 GL700 Series Laser Transmitter Quick Reference Guide 17 17 16 18 18 Figure 2. 2 16 17 18 Laser transmitter ­ base and top 5/8-11 Tripod Mount ­ allows the laser to be connected to a standard 5/8-11 tripod or column mount. [. . . ] ­ Charge only with specified chargers, according to device manufacturer's instructions. ­ Do not open the battery, dispose of it in a fire, or short circuit it. These actions may cause the battery to ignite, explode, leak, or get hot, causing personal injury. ­ Dispose in accordance with all applicable federal, state, and local regulations. Seek medical attention immediately. GL700 Series Laser Transmitter Quick Reference Guide 11 1. Note ­ when installing the batteries, be sure to note the positive (+) and negative (­) diagram inside of the housing. If the batteries are put in wrong, no damage occurs to the laser but it does not work. Allow one minute for the laser to recover after the batteries have been installed correctly. Put the battery-housing compartment in place and reinstall the four screws. To let you know when the batteries are getting low, the status LED flashes. When the status LED flashes yellow, the laser has less than one hour of running time. When the status LED remains on solid yellow, the batteries have less than five minutes running time. 12 GL700 Series Laser Transmitter Quick Reference Guide Connecting the laser to a tripod All lasers have a 5/8-11 tripod mount on the bottom of the laser. Depending on the laser system you purchase, additional mounting adapters may be shipped with your laser. The laser can also be connected to a standard tripod, column clamp, or other mounting device. If you're using the laser without a tripod, however, make sure you set the laser on a stable surface. Insert the tripod's 5/8-11 screw into the laser's threaded 5/8-11 tripod mount. To detach the laser from the tripod, turn the screw clockwise. GL700 Series Laser Transmitter Quick Reference Guide 13 Turning on/off the laser 1. Note ­ The laser always powers up in the automatic self-leveling mode. If the laser is out of its self-leveling range and remains out of it for more than 10 minutes, the laser shuts down completely. ON OFF Power LED Manual mode 1Up/Down Rotation control RPM 2Up/Down Axis alignment Note ­ When the laser is initially turned on, the LCD shows the approximate charge of the batteries, the laser beam's rotation speed, and manual axis-alignment position if it's other than zero. After the LCD shows this information, the last-entered grade immediately appears in the LCD. The status LED flashes green to indicate that the laser is selfleveling. After the laser has self-leveled at the indicated grade, the laser beam rotates and the status LED stops flashing. [. . . ] A flashing bar above the "T" indicates that communication with the laser is established. When the radio remote control is connected to a receiver, an "R" appears in the right corner of the radio remote control's first display line indicating that a connection has been made and the power is on. When using the radio remote control, make sure its antenna is pointing skyward. For example, if you're using the radio remote control in the horizontal position, such as you would when holding the radio remote control in your hand, the antenna should be at a 90º angle to the radio remote control.
