# Operating Modes

The measuring tool has several operating modes, which you can switch between at any time:

- Cross-line mode (see figure C): Generates one horizontal and one vertical laser line
- Horizontal mode (see figure D): Generates one horizontal laser line
- Vertical mode (see figure E): Generates one vertical laser line

After switching on, the measuring tool is in cross-line operating mode. Using the buttons for horizontal mode (6) and vertical mode (5), you can switch the horizontal and vertical laser lines on and off independently of one another.

All operating modes can be selected with both automatic levelling or the pendulum lock.
