distance

Flagpole lock-in mode
When measuring overlapped targets, long press the Measure button to show the distance to the nearest target
E.g., if you cannot tell for sure if the flag or the trees behind it is the target of distance measurement, the lock function can lock the nearest target, i.e., the flag, for distance measurement

  1. Long press the Power/measure button to power the product on and measure
  2. Aim at the flagpole
  3. The product will vibrate twice after completing the measurement

Safety warning

The golf distance meter emits an invisible infrared pulse laser that does no harm to eyes, which is then reflected back from the selected target into the optical receiver. By measuring the time it takes each pulse laser to travel between the distance meter to the target, the system uses an advanced precision charging circuit to calculate the distance being measured in real time. The product’s maximum range of measurement depends on the target’s reflectivity, color, surface finish, size and actual shape.

The following factors ensure the optimal range and precision of measurement:

  • Clear weather
  • Targets with shiny appearance
  • Zero impurities in the air
  • Targets with highly reflective surfaces

The following factors ensure the optimal range and precision of measurement:

  • Black targets
  • Snowy, rainy or foggy weather
  • Targets with obviously diffuse surfaces
  • Small or micro targets
  • Targets to be measured through glass
  • Moving targets
  • Strong light interference/sharp sunlight
