Operation - Hilti PM 40-MG Manual

When the self-leveling range is exceeded, the laser beams blink as a warning.
When switched on initially, the tool is in standard mode, i.e. visible beam mode with high line brightness.
When the selector button for line and receiver mode is pressed and held for a short time the tool switches to
receiver mode and is then compatible with the PMA 31G laser receiver. Receiver mode can be deactivated
by again pressing and holding the selector button for a short time or by switching the tool off.
