Frequently Asked Questions

There are two ways to maximize battery life in a AnyAngle. The first is to turn off the backlight. This can be done by clicking the scroll button (on the far right) and selecting Backlight | None. Additionally, you can set the Auto Off menu to 2 Min (minutes).

How does AnyAngle work?

AnyAngle uses the force of the earth's gravity to determine its orientation. It does not contain any moving parts, fluids, or internal lasers. It's patented, and very cool.

Why does my AnyAngle display "N/A" in certain positions?

AnyAngle uses the force of gravity to determine its orientation in space. The AnyAngle Advanced products will depict an N/A for "Not Available" when the LCD display is parallel (or close to parallel) to the surface of the earth.

What do the arrows on the AnyAngle display mean?

The arrows tell you which way to rotate the level to reach level (0.00 degrees) or plumb (90.0 degrees), whichever is closer. For example, if the display is less then 45 degrees, the arrows will indicate which way the level must be rotated to reach 0.00 degrees. If the display is greater than 45 degrees, the arrows will indicate which way the level must be rotated to reach 90.00 degrees.

How do I calibrate my AnyAngle Level?

Calibrating the AnyAngle is very easy, and takes about 20 seconds. Simply select and hold the SEL button for at least 2 seconds. The AnyAngle will provide you with instructions in the display.

Does the calibration surface need to be perfectly level?

No, the calibration surface does not need to be perfectly level.

How often must I calibrate my AnyAngle level?

For high precision measurements in the range of tenths of a degree, it is a good idea to calibrate the AnyAngle at the beginning of each use. Otherwise, it is best to calibrate the AnyAngle if any of the following are true:

• It has not been used recently
• It was last calibrated at a temperature that is different than the current temperature (+ or -10F)
• It was recently mishandled (e.g., dropped)

The buzzer is triggered by the memory angle. The memory angle is set by rotating the level to the appropriate angle, and selecting the MEM button. If you want the buzzer to sound when the AnyAngle is level (0.00 degrees), simply set the memory to 0.00 degrees.

How do I turn the memory buzzer on or off?

The memory buzzer can be turned on or off by clicking the scroll button (on the far right) and selecting General | Buzzer. When turned on, the buzzer will sound a constant tone when the level's angle matches the memory angle. Additionally, the buzzer will transmit a single quick tone for every 1/10th degree within in + or - 0.9 degrees of the memory angle.

How do I configure the backlight to turn on when I move my AnyAngle level?

The Backlight can be configured to turn on with movement by clicking the scroll button (on the far right) and selecting Backlight | Movement. When configured as such, the backlight requires at least a 0.1 degree change to turn on.

Why does the backlight turn off when I am still moving the level?

If the backlight is configured to turn on with movement, it requires at least a 0.1 degree change in a single movement to turn on or stay on. If you are slowly rotating the level below a 1/10th degree rate, the backlight will not turn on or stay on.

Why does my LCD display start to fade over time?

As the battery power in the level diminishes, the display will grow dimmer. Long before this point, however, you will receive a low battery warning icon in the upper right corner of the display. If you are concerned about maximizing battery life, read AnyAngle Advanced FAQ #1: How can I obtain maximum battery life out of my AnyAngle?

What is Slope ("Slp" on the AnyAngle display)?

Slope is a term typically used in the construction trades. It is also quite commonly referred to as "rise over run." For example, a roof that is angled at 45 degrees is a "12/12" roof. This means that for every 12 inches of run (horizontal distance), the roof rises 12 inches (vertical distance). When displaying Slope (Slp on the display), the AnyAngle depicts the rise component of slope. So when the AnyAngle depicts a Slope as "7.00," it is indicating a 7/12 angle, or 7 inches of rise for every 12 inches of run. The run component is always "12" by default.
