Mains Charger:
The general procedure to adopt is use the laser during the day & charge-up
overnight. You cannot damage the system by "over-charging" the batteries.
When plugged into a 230V mains supply, the red LED flashes every 1 sec.
Connect to the front mounted socket on the laser (or direct to the battery
pack) & this LED should be ON continuously:
ie. Red LED = charging; Green LED = sufficient charge to operate.
Even though the Green light is ON, we recommend a full 6-8 hour charge.
The FRE-208 can be operated with the charger connected to the mains
supply, if required. On receipt of your new laser, we suggest charging the
batteries fully for 6 to 8 hours.
A Spare Battery holder is also included - to be used as a back-up power
source.
Four type C, 1.5V Alkaline batteries can be used instead or in an emergency;
but do NOT attempt to recharge them, otherwise serious damage will occur.
Positioning the Laser:
Mount the FRE-208 on a generally level, firm surface or 5/8” threaded Tripod.
To operate correctly, this surface must be within +/-5 deg of true horizontal.
The laser can be used Indoors or Outdoors, where it is waterproof to IP55.
Controls:
Power ON/OFF is via the green button. The LCD screen illuminates; laser
takes 15 to 30 seconds to auto level & then the head rotates & projects a
visible red laser beam. The rotational speed is shown on the display together
with the battery charge level.
The white speed control button (just above the green button), when pressed,
stops the red dot then increases the head's rotational speed in 4 steps up to a
