4.5.1 Interference for other devices through QUBO Although the product meets the strict requirements of the relevant directives and standards, SOLA can not completely exclude the possibility of interference with other devices (for example, when using the product in combination with third-party devices, such as field computers, personal computers, wireless devices, mobile phones, certain cables or external batteries).
5. LASER SAFETY / CLASSIFICATION The QUBO emits three visible laser lines and one laser point. The product corresponds to Laser Class 2 according to DIN EN 60825-1:2008. Laser Class 2: When using Class 2 laser devices the eye is protected by the eyelid closure reflex or evasive reactions in case of a random and short-term exposure.
6.1 Operation with batteries 1. Open the battery compartment cover on the rear side of the device. 2. Insert batteries with the correct polarity into the SOLA battery adapter. 3. Insert the SOLA battery adapter in the correct position. 4. Close the battery compartment (audible click of the cover).
7.1.2 PULSE mode The REC LRD0 hand-held receiver can be used to detect the laser lines at even greater distances or in unfavourable environmental conditions. The QUBO must be used in the PULSE operating mode for this. Switch on the QUBO.

Make sure that the laser line is projected vertically to the wall or to the target surface. 7.2 SOLA Li-Ion battery, charging station & charger Before the initial startup, the SOLA Li-Ion battery must be fully charged. Plug the charger plug into the charging port of the Li-Ion Charger Connect the SOLA Li-Ion battery charger to a socket-outlet Insert the SOLA Li-Ion battery in the correct position.

Attach a plumb line as close as possible possible to a (at least) 3 m high wall. Mount the QUBO onto a tripod at a height of approx. 1.2 m. Position the device approx. 3 m in front of the plumb line.
Page 21
20 cm ca. 10 m If the reference points are on different sides of the center point, must be subtracted from If the reference points are on the same side of the center point, must be added to Divide the results with twice the value of the room length. If the result is greater than 4 mm, the device must be readjusted.
4. Rotate the device 90° clockwise. The lower plumb beam must remain on the marking and the left lateral intersecting point must be exactly aligned to the marking Mark the intersecting point of the vertical and horizontal laser lines. The horizontal distance between the marked points may only be a max.

Protect from moisture and humidity. Dry wet or damp batteries before the storage, or respectively before usage. Prior to a prolonged storage charge the battery to 80 % capacity . Repeat the (see Chapter 7 / operation) procedure every 6 months. After storage, fully charge the battery before use.
11. Troubleshooting Error Possible cause Troubleshooting Device is switched on, display Battery empty Replace the battery «ON - BATT» does not light up Rechargeable battery empty Recharge or replace battery and there is no visible laser Battery / rechargeable battery Insert the batteries / rechar- beam.
Perform a proper disposal of the device and the accessories. Only dispose of batteries in a discharged state. Observe the country-specific disposal requirements. Your SOLA dealership will take back batteries as well as old equipment, and will ensure a proper disposal. Only for EU countries...
