AOFAR HX-1200T Hunting Range Finder Instruction Manual

PERATION INSTRUCTIONS

Focus adjustment

HX-1200T range finder is constructed with an adjustable eyepiece (+I-3 Diopter). People with different visions don’t need to wear glasses, they can observe LCD with naked eyes. Rotating the eyepiece until the reticle and object display to your eye clearly.
Units switch
The HX-1200T range finder can be used to measure distances in yard or meter. The unit of measure indicators are located in the lower right portion of the LCD. To select yard and meter, just press and release “M” button quickly to change” Y” (yard) and “M” (meter).

Range mode
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.)
Hunting mode
Placing the aiming circle (located in the center of view) on a target over than 5 yards away, press Power button and release quickly. The range and angle, horizontal distance reading will be displayed on LCD. The upper part of LCD shows the angle of uphill I downhill then change to the horizontal distance that is the true distance.

Hunting Mode Instruction
Straight-line distance between hunter and prey is 32 yards, angle is -44 degree, horizontal distance is 23 yards. You should shoot as 23 yards instead of 32 yards. You will shoot over the top of deer if you shoot as 32  yards because of the angle.

Bow-hunters want to know true horizontal distance because that is how they practice shooting, and once they confidently know that, they can make any necessary adjustments. Giving the bow-hunter anything else other than horizontal distance creates additional confusion and uncertainty. Many people mistakenly believe that uphill shots perform differently from downhill shots because of gravity. However, it is not due to gravity, but more of an aberration of the sighting system used on bows.

The sighting pin on a bow resides inches above the mechanical axis of the arrow. For example, when one is aiming 23 degree up an incline, the arrow is at a different angle.

HOW TO WORK AND RANGING ACCURACY

The HX-1200T 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 I the target is too small Low reflectivity  of the measured object (black color, complex shape, curved surface, water surface, glass surface, mirror surface. etc.) / Low battery.

READY TO START (Inserting the battery)

• 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.
• Replace 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 ” E ” 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.

Install/Change 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.
