6.1 Visual guidance
In the range of ± 15° to the horizontal (0°) or to the vertical
(90°), arrows show which way to turn the digital protractor
to reach 0° or 90°.
The 2 "centre display" bars indicate the precise position at

6.2 Acoustic guidance
The acoustic guidance is activated/deactivated using the
"Loudspeaker" button. The tone sequence speeds up as
the 0° or 90° position is approached in a range of ± 2°.
A change in the pitch indicates that these positions have
been exceeded.
A continuous tone confirms the precise point at which 0° or
90° is reached.
6.3 Automatic display inversion
The display is inverted for overhead measurements so that
