Page 8: Keypad
Keypad 1 - Power key: Press the power key to turn power on. All LEDs, the LCD and the beeper will come on momentarily. 'CAL' will be dis- played and LEDs sequenced as the unit goes through self-calibrating procedure approximately three seconds. NOTE: Do not power up the unit in a laser beam or strobe. -

Refer to page 12. 7 - Units of measure: Indicates if centimeters (cm), millimeters (mm), inches (in), or feet (ft) is selected. 8 / 9 - Numeric elevation / Menu text display: When in the normal operating mode, the four-character graphic displays numeric elevation.
- Page 13 METOR allows two different mounting positions for the rod clamp which are detected automatically. A corresponding symbol is displayed. NOTE: Other clamps than the original METOR clamp can not be detected by METOR and can lead to measuring errors in offset position.

Page 14: Advanced Functions / Memory
9 Advanced functions / Memory Capture / Timer: The capture function is used to obtain a single reading and keep it displayed. This is useful when the unit may not be visible while grade information needs to be obtained. When METOR is in the laser beam and power is on, momentarily press the power/capture switch. - Page 15 User defined on-grade level: Any arbitrary level within 30mm above or below the marking notch can be used as on-grade level. The user defined on-grade level is set by pressing the accuracy key for two seconds while in beam or while a captured height level is displayed.

Page 16: Menu Functions
10 Menu Functions NOTE: The menu functions can be used to edit various options. For most applications the factory defaults are the best choice. We recommend to change settings only in special applications. The menu screen is accessed by pressing the accuracy and volume keys together for approximately two seconds. - Page 17 SENS - Sensitivity (LO / MD / HI): Selects reception sensitivity to laser and other light sources. LO (Low) is used if outside sources are disturbing elevation readings. MD (Medium) is used for most applications and is default setting. HI (High) can be used when working with a weak laser beam or if the beam needs to be picked at very long distances.
- Page 18 O.O.B - Out-of-Beam Display (ON / OF): When ON a sequence of arrows is displayed that indicates when the receiver has moved beyond the vertical laser reception range. The sequence will indicate which direction to move to get back in the laser beam. The display remains on for approximately 25 seconds.
- Page 19 TX.L.B. - Transmitter Low Battery (OF / 2.3 / 2.7 / 3.3 / 5.0 / 6.7): Special Application used with transmitters which communicate to the receiver that the laser has a low battery by changing their rotating speed. When enabled, the receiver senses this change and alerts the user to a laser low battery condition.
