Detector Troubleshooting - DeWalt DW079KI Instruction Manual

NOTE: This detector has been designed to be used only with a
rotating laser. The detector will not work with a stationary beam
laser level.
2. Turn the detector on by pressing the power/volume button (Z).
3. Adjust the volume as desired as described in the Detector
Controls.
4. Position the detector so that the detector window (U) is facing
the laser beam produced by the rotary laser. Move the detector
up or down within the approximate area of the beam, until you
have centered the detector. For information about the display
window indicators and the audible signal indicators, refer to
the table titled Indicators (Fig. 11).
5. Use the marking notches (DD) to accurately mark the position
of the laser beam.

2. Open the jaws of the clamp by turning the clamp knob (JJ)
counterclockwise.
3. Position the detector at the height needed and turn the clamp
knob clockwise to secure the clamp on the rod.

reposition and retighten.
Detector Cleaning and Storage
• Dirt and grease may be removed from the exterior of the
detector using a cloth or soft, non-metallic brush.
• The D WALT Digital Laser Detector is waterproof. If you should
E
drop the detector in mud, wet concrete, or a similar substance,
simply hose the detector off. Do not use high pressure water,
e.g., from a pressure washer.
• The best storage place is one that is cool and dry–away from
direct sunlight and excess heat or cold.
Detector Service
Except for batteries, there are no user serviceable parts in the
Digital Laser Detector. Do not disassemble the unit. Unauth orized
tampering with the laser detector will void all warranties.

Detector Troubleshooting

THE DETECTOR WILL NOT TURN ON.
• Press and release the power/volume button.
• Check to see that the battery is in place and in the proper
position.
• If the detector is very cold, allow it to warm up in a heated
area.
