Instructions for Use

Power on/off and measure

1. Short press the Power/measure button to power the product on

2. The eyepiece will show the entire interface after the product is powered on

3. The interface will then automatically change to the “to measure” state
   

4. Press again the Power/measure button to measure

5. The eyepiece interface will show the measurement result. Long press the Measure button to measure the real-time distance

6. If the meter is let rest for 10 seconds or longer, it will power off automatically

Focus by turning the knob

1. Focus by turning the knob
2. Turn the knob according to what is shown in the viewfinder to find the appropriate definition

Select the mode
Short press the Mode switch/set button to switch between four modes

1. Straight-line distance mode: Measure the straight-line distance between the user and the target of measurement
2. Flagpole mode: Lock and measure the distance to the nearest target
3. Gold compensation flagpole mode: Lock and measure the golf trajectory compensation distance
4. Gold compensation measurement mode: Measure the golf trajectory compensation distance

Set functions

1. Long press the Mode/set button for 2 seconds to enter the setting mode Short press the Mode/set button to switch between the two settings
2. Short press the Power/measure button in the setting mode to change the unit or turn on/off the vibrate mode

Note:

1. When the vibrate mode is turned on, the meter vibrates once when measuring the distance, and vibrates twice when locking the flagpole.
2. When the vibrate mode is turned off, the meter will not vibrate when measuring the distance, and will still vibrate twice when locking the flagpole.

Measure the straight-line distance

Measure the distance, height and angle of the target

1. Single measurement: Short press the Power/measure button to measure once the distance
2. Continuous measurement: Long press the Power/measure button to scan the distance and show instantly the distance of the scanned target

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

Golf compensation flagpole mode
Long press the Power/measure button to show the golf flagpole compensation distance and the actual distance and height.

Golf compensation measurement mode
Long press the Power/measure button to show the golf measurement compensation distance and the actual distance and height

Note: When the product is in golf flagpole/measurement mode, the lamp under the laser receiving object glass will be on

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
