OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

Instruction on usage

1. Look at LCD through the eyepiece, then press “POWER” button and release quickly, you will see the display as right picture. Pressing “POWER” button again to measure. (The laser rangefinder will auto power-off if no operation within 8 seconds.)

2. Placing the aiming circle (located in the center of view) on a target over than 5 yards 7 away, press “POWER” button and release quickly. The range and slope compensation distance, angle will be displayed on LUD.
   LCD upper data display order: slope compensation distance, angle, slope compensation distance. (Straight-line distance is 20.82 yards, angle is 4.9 degrees, and slope compensation distance is 22 yards).
   For the parabolic distance of uphill / downhill slope. Please refer to Page 10 “Golf mode example”.
   Tips: When target’s background is complicated or difficult to measure by range mode, you can use flag lock mode.

Measurement range
Reflective range: 5~600 Y
Tree range: 5~400 Y
Flag range: 5~200 Y

Focus adjustment
Rotating the eyepiece until the reticle and object display to your eye clearly.
GX-6F pro range finder is constructed with an adjustable eyepiece(+/-3 Diopter).
People with different visions don’t need to wear glasses, they can observe LCD with naked eyes.

Units switch
To select yard or meter, just click “MODE” button quickly to change “Y” (yard) and “m” (meter). It can measure distance in yard or meter. The unit indicator is located in the lower right portion of the LCD.

Slope switch function
Press and hold the “MODE” button for 3 seconds. The data displayed at the top will disappear, which is designed for golf tournament. If you want to turn on the slope mode, just press the “MODE” button again for 3 seconds.

Flag lock mode with Continuous scan function

1. Flag lock mode (with pulse vibration happen)
   Lock mode sign : After you lock onto flag successfully, the circle on flag sign will shows. (Like image shows)
   Method: Pressing “POWER” button and scan from far to flag, at the same time, the circle on the flag will show you will get distance and feel vibration.

2. Continuous scan function
   After locking successfully, holding “POWER” button and move to closer targets(above 5 meters/6yards)can active “Continuous scan function”.
   After activating “Continuous scan function”, you can only read the reading of target closer than the previous target.
   Notice 1: After activating “Continuous scan function”, you can use this function for 10 seconds, that is the maximum measurement time of laser. After 10 seconds, it will stop reading, and LCD will display the last target’s data you measured.
   Notice 2: To use this “Continuous scan function” again, just repeat the above operation.
   Notice 3: To use “Continuous scan function”, do not release “POWER” button after locking successfully, you should press and hold POWER button to closer target.

Golf mode example
Distance measurement of ascending slope: Slope is farther than the straight-line distance.
Distance between AB points=AD points spacing is the actual straight line distance 99.71Y.Hit the ball in accordance with the distance measured with the strike parabolic 1, the angle of slope is + 6.2 ° , and the ball will arrive at the point C. To reach the point B, it is necessary to follow the parabola 2. The slope must be the one between point A and point E, i.e. 108Y.

Distance measurement of downward slope: Slope is less than the straight- line distance.
Distance between point A and pont 8 = distance between point A and point D in a straight-line 216.01Y. Hit the ball in accordance with the measured distance with the strike parabola 2, the angle of slope is – 12.1 ° , the ball will arrive at the point C. To reach the point B, it is necessary to follow the parabola 1. The slope must be the one between point A and point E, i.e. 170Y.

HOW TO WORK AND RANGING ACCURACY

The GX-6F pro range finder emits invisible, eye safe, infrared energy pulses. Sophisticated digital technology instantaneously calculates distances by measuring the time, which it takes for each pulse to travel from the rangefinder to the target and back to rangefinder.
The color, surface smoothness, size and sharpness of target will affect its reflectivity and range.
It is difficult to test in the following conditions and environments:
Raining or fogging / Target is too small / Low reflectivity of the measured object( dark color, complex shape, curved surface, water surface, glass surface, mirror surface. etc.) / Low battery.

GETTING TO START

• Remove the battery cap by rotating the cap counter-clockwise.
• Insert a CR2-3V battery.
• Put the negative pole of lithium battery into battery compartment first.
• Re-place the battery cap.

Note: It is recommended that the battery should be replaced once every 12 months.
Notice: Replace the battery when Low battery indicator shows.
If the” “displays and flash on LCD, which means “low battery”. It can be turned on, but it can’t shows any data. Meanwhile, vibration will be  paused.

“It can be turned on, but it can’t shows any data. Meanwhile, vibration will be paused.

Inserting/Replacing battery

1. Open the cap counter-clockwise
2. The positive pole “+”of the lithium battery CR2 should be placed outwards. (look at the picture)
3. Tightening the battery cap clockwise after installing the battery.
