If the Topcon RL-H3C does not turn on unless it is taped, the issue could be a loose internal connection or faulty power switch that only makes contact when pressure is applied.

RL-H3C_CL_CS.fm Page 3 Monday, June 12, 2006 9:47 AM Introduction Thank you for purchasing the TOPCON Rotating Laser. The instrument has many unique features. For basic operation, rough level the instrument and press power switch. It will self-level, then emit a rotating laser beam.
Upon opening, make sure that all the followings are included: RL-H3C / RL-H3CL RL-H3C / RL-H3CL Instrument ..1set LS-70B/70C* Laser Sensor..1set Size "C" dry batteries (R14PU) ..4pc.

RL-H3C_CL_CS.fm Page 17 Monday, June 12, 2006 9:47 AM RL-H3CS Aligning Direction of Slope When using the laser to set the slope, the laser must be properly aligned so the slope axis of the laser beam is parallel to the desired direction of slope. The sight on top of the instrument is calibrated to the slope axis of the laser beam.
