Spectra HL700 Prospecto

HL700 Laserometer

User Guide

This receiver has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a 

Class B digital device for radio noise for digital apparatus set out in the 

Radio Interference Regulations of the Canadian Department of Com-

munication, and is pursuant to part 15 of the Federal Communication 

Commission (FCC) rules. These limits are designed to provide reason-

able protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. 

This receiver generates radio frequency. If it’s not used in accordance 

with the instructions, it may cause harmful interference to radio or televi-

sion reception. Such interference can be determined by turning the re-

ceiver off and on. You are encouraged to try eliminating the interference 

by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the laser and the receiver.

For more information, consult your dealer or an experience

radio/television technician.

CAUTION: Changes or modifications to the receiver that are not ex-

pressly approved by Trimble could void authority to use the equipment.

Center on-grade clamp position - clamp 

position is sensed automatically and 

displayed. Standard center position displays 

an equal amount of information above 

and below grade. With no clamp, center 

on-grade.

Offset on-grade clamp position - clamp 

position is sensed automatically and 

displayed. Offset clamp position moves 

the on-grade location to allow more grade 

information to be displayed above grade. 

This is useful in applications where going 

below grade is not required, i.e. driving 

stakes down to grade.
