The digital level requires batteries for operation. Locate the battery compartment, typically on the side or back of the digital module. Insert the required batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-). Close the compartment securely.
Note: The product specifications indicate "Batteries Included? No" and "Batteries Required? No" which may be a data discrepancy. Assume batteries are required and not included.
4.2 Eerste inschakeling
Druk op de Aan/Uit button to power on the device. The digital display will illuminate and show the current angle or slope.
5. Gebruiksaanwijzing
5.1 In-/uitschakelen
Druk op de Aan/Uit button to turn the digital level on or off.
5.2 Metingen uitvoeren
Place the measuring surface of the level firmly against the object you wish to measure. The digital display will show the angle in degrees, percentage, or mm/m, depending on the selected unit.

5.3 360° Readout
The level features a 360° readout, meaning the display automatically flips when the level is inverted, ensuring the reading is always upright and easy to read from any orientation.
5.4 Hold-functie
Druk op de Uitstel button to freeze the current measurement on the display. This is useful for taking readings in difficult-to-see areas or when you need to record a specific value. Press Uitstel om de functie opnieuw vrij te geven.
5.5 Eenheidsselectie
Use the unit selection button (often labeled with °/%/mm/m or similar icon) to cycle through different measurement units: degrees (°), percentage (%), and millimeters per meter (mm/m).
5.6 Reference Function
De Referentie function allows you to set the current position as a new "0" reference point. This is useful for measuring relative angles from a specific surface. To activate, place the level on your desired reference surface and press the Referentie button. The display will show "0.0" and subsequent measurements will be relative to this new reference.
5.7 Kalibratie
For optimal accuracy, periodic calibration may be required. To calibrate the level:
- Place the level on a flat, stable surface.
- Druk op de Kalibreren button. Follow the on-screen prompts, which typically involve rotating the level 180 degrees and pressing the button again.
- Refer to the specific calibration sequence indicated on the device's display or a more detailed manual if available.
