GETTING STARTED

Before First Use

Prior to using your Laser Range Finder, please read all safety and operating instructions thoroughly. Please ensure you follow the steps below before using this device. We recommend you keep the original packaging for storing your Laser Range Finder when not in use.

Unpack the product but keep all packaging material until you have made sure your new Laser Range Finder is undamaged and in good working order. Plastic wrapping can be a suffocation hazard for babies and children so ensure all packaging materials are out of their reach.

Inserting the Battery

The battery compartment is located at the bottom left corner of the Laser Range Finder (see Fig 1.1).

To access the battery compartment, lift the battery cover tab (see Fig. 1.2 and Fig. 1.3) and rotate in anticlockwise direction (see Fig. 1.4) till the cover pops out (see Fig. 1.5). Insert the battery into the compartment with the negative end first.
Once the battery cannot go further, cover the compartment with the battery cover. Rotate tab in clockwise direction till it is securely locked into position. At this point the cover is secure so please do not rotate further as excessive force can damage the cover. You can now put down the tab, so it is back to its original flush position. If symbol appears on the display, the battery is low. In this case, replace the battery.

NOTE: It is recommended that the CR2 3V lithium battery be replaced at least once every 12 months.

WARNING: Do not expose batteries to excessive heat, direct sunlight, open flames or any other heat sources (please see page 6 for more information).

INSTRUCTIONS

This Laser Range Finder, combined with the function of a common telescope and laser distance-measuring instrument, can measure the distance from its scope to an object in the distance. The Laser Range Finder’s advanced microprocessor combined with digital technology calculates the distance by measuring the time it takes for each pulse to travel from the Laser Range Finder to the target, and back. Beyond distance the Laser Range Finder is capable of measuring height, slope angles, speed and more. The Laser Range Finder is safe for your eyes, small in size and lightweight. It only requires a single CR2 3V battery to function, which is included for your convenience. Its measurement system is not affected by inclement weather, nor is it affected by small obstructions such as wires, branches, etc. The Laser Range Finder can be used in sports and recreational activities.

The Laser Range Finder can be operated in one of eight different available modes.

NOTE: When powering on the device, the Laser Range Finder will automatically select the last mode chosen by the user before shutdown.

NOTE: The Laser Range Finder will shut down automatically if it is not used within 15 seconds of turning it ON.

Ranging Mode

The Ranging Mode is used for the primary function of the Laser Range Finder which is to measure distance to a distant object. This setting allows most targets to be ranged up to 1000m. The minimum distance in this mode is 5m.

1. Put your dominant hand through the wrist strap and firmly grip the Laser Range Finder. Bring the eyepiece to your eye and point the Laser Range Finder at a distant object. If the object is not clear in your field of vision, then rotate the eyepiece of the Laser Range Finder until the object becomes clear.

2. Press down the OPEN button. The lens will display “ ”, which are the crosshairs (see Fig. 2.1). If the lens displays a different mode, then press the MODE button till you reach the Ranging Mode display. Aim the Laser Range Finder at your desired object. Press and release the OPEN button (short press) until the distance to the object is displayed on the lens (see Fig. 2.2 on page 12).

3. To ensure accuracy, hold the Laser Range Finder with a firm grip and keep it steady till the measurement is displayed.

4. The default unit of measurement is M (Metres). To change the unit of measurement to Y (Yards), hold down the MODE button. To switch between the two units keep holding down the MODE button. Once the unit of measurement desired is selected, release the MODE button.

WARNING: Please always pass your hand through the wrist strap prior to gripping the Laser Range Finder to avoid it from dropping and getting damaged.

NOTE: If no distance is displayed on the lens display, there is a possibility that the object is not in the measuring range of 5 to 1000m. In this case, you will need to retarget and measure.

NOTE: The Laser Range Finder will shut down automatically if it is not used within 15 seconds of turning it ON.

Scanning Mode

This mode is an extension of the Ranging Mode, so you need to remain in Ranging Mode to access the Scanning Mode. It is very convenient as it allows to measure distance to multiple landmarks (within the Laser Range Finder measuring range) by gradually moving the device. There is no need to point and trigger each target or landmark one at a time, like the Ranging Mode. Scanning Mode takes all the finger work out for you so that as you pass over stationary or moving targets, you’ll see the distances updated on the display.

1. Put your dominant hand through the wrist strap and firmly grip the Laser Range Finder. Bring the eyepiece to your eye and point the Laser Range Finder at a distant object. If the object is not clear in your field of vision, then rotate the eyepiece of the Laser Range Finder until the object becomes clear.
2. Press down the OPEN button. The lens will display “ ”, which are the crosshairs (see Fig. 2.1 on page 11). If the lens displays a different mode, then press the MODE button till you reach the Ranging Mode display.
3. Press and hold down the OPEN button till the word Scan comes up on the display under the crosshairs which are now flashing (see Fig. 3.1 on page 12).

Continue holding down the OPEN button and gradually point the Laser Range Finder at different objects. For each object (within the Laser Range Finder measuring range), the distance to the object will be displayed on the lens (see Fig. 3.2 and Fig. 3.3).

4. To ensure accuracy, hold the Laser Range Finder with a firm grip and keep it steady till the measurement is displayed.
5. The default unit of measurement is M (Metres). To change the unit of measurement to Y (Yards), return to the Ranging Mode by releasing the OPEN button and then hold down the MODE button. To switch between the two units keep holding down the MODE button. Once the unit of measurement desired is selected, release the MODE button and hold down the OPEN button to return to Scanning Mode.

WARNING: Please always pass your hand through the wrist strap prior to gripping the Laser Range Finder to avoid it from dropping and getting damaged.

NOTE: The Scanning Mode runs for maximum time of 30 seconds in each cycle after which the Laser Range Finder returns to the Ranging Mode. This is to make sure that not much strain is caused to your pressing finger. To return to the Scanning Mode once again, simply hold down the OPEN button in Ranging Mode.

NOTE: If no distance is displayed on the lens display, there is a possibility that the object is not in the measuring range of 5 to 1000m. In this case, you will need to retarget and measure.

NOTE: The Laser Range Finder will shut down automatically if it is not used within 15 seconds of turning it ON.

Flagpole Locking Mode

This advanced mode allows measuring distances to closer targets without] picking up distances to background targets that have stronger signal strengths (reflective capability). When more than one object has been acquired, only the distance of the closest object will be displayed above the crosshairs.

1. Put your dominant hand through the wrist strap and firmly grip the Laser Range Finder. Bring the eyepiece to your eye and point the Laser Range Finder at a distant object. If the object is not clear in your field of vision, then rotate the eyepiece of the Laser Range Finder until the object becomes clear.

2. Press down the OPEN button. The lens will display the mode at which the Laser Range Finder last shutdown. Keep pressing the MODE button till you reach the Flagpole Locking Mode (see Fig. 4.1). Aim the Laser Range Finder at the desired object. Hold down the OPEN button and the crosshairs will start flashing (see Fig. 4.2). Once the Laser Range Finder finds a suitable reflecting object in measuring distance, the measuring distance will appear up above the crosshairs and a solid dotted box will appear around the flag of the flagpole (see Fig. 4.3). This means that the Flagpole distance has been identified and the value has been locked. While still pressing the OPEN button, gradually point the Laser Range Finder at different objects. Once the Laser Range Finder detects a closer reflecting object then it will replace the existing value with the new value. You can release the OPEN button once you are done with the measurements or the Laser Range Finder will remain in Flagpole Locking Mode for a maximum period of 30 seconds at the most, it cannot keep scanning in this mode for longer than this. After this time, the Laser Range Finder will stop scanning and the crosshairs will stop flashing.
   The display will continue displaying the lowest measuring distance recorded from a reflecting object that was scanned, during this scanning period.

3. To ensure accuracy, hold the Laser Range Finder with a firm grip and keep it steady till the measurement is displayed.

4. The default unit of measurement is M (Metres). To change the unit of measurement to Y (Yards), hold down the MODE button. To switch between the two units keep holding down the MODE button. Once the unit of measurement desired is selected, release the MODE button.

WARNING: Please always pass your hand through the wrist strap prior to gripping the Laser Range Finder to avoid it from dropping and getting damaged.

NOTE: If no distance is displayed on the lens display, there is a possibility that the object is not in the measuring range of 5 to 1000m. In this case, you will need to retarget and measure.

NOTE: The Laser Range Finder will shut down automatically if it is not used within 15 seconds of turning it ON.

Slope and Angle Measurement Mode

For outdoor enthusiasts and avid golfers this is an amazing, premium feature. The Slope and Angle Measurement Mode allows the measurement of slope distance and inclined or declined angles. This makes it easier to read the terrain and the opportunity to make any necessary adjustments. Quite simply, if you read the terrain or course better, you will make smarter decisions and improve your results.
When you are hitting uphill, the shot needs to travel further than normal, and a slope distance will reflect this (see Fig. 5.1 on page 16). Conversely, a shot hit downhill needs to travel a shorter distance than normal (see Fig. 5.2 on page 16).

1. Put your dominant hand through the wrist strap and firmly grip the Laser Range Finder. Bring the eyepiece to your eye and point the Laser Range Finder at a distant object. If the object is not clear in your field of vision, then rotate the eyepiece of the Laser Range Finder until the object becomes clear.

2. Press down the OPEN button. The lens will display the last mode selected when the Laser Range Finder shutdown. Keep pressing the MODE button till you reach the Slope and Angle Measurement Mode (see Fig. 5.3). Aim the Laser Range Finder at the desired object. Hold down the OPEN button and the crosshairs will start flashing (see Fig. 5.4). Once the Laser Range Finder finds a suitable reflecting object in measuring distance, the measuring distance will appear up above the crosshairs and a solid dotted box will appear around the flag of the flagpole (see Fig. 5.5). This means that the slope distance and angle has been identified for the object and the value has been locked. Gradually point the Laser Range Finder at different objects.
   Once the Laser Range Finder detects a closer reflecting object, it will then replace the existing distance and angle values with the new values. You can release the OPEN button once you are done with the measurements or the Laser Range Finder will remain in Slope and Angle Measurement Mode for a maximum period of 30 seconds at the most, it cannot keep scanning in this mode for longer than this. After this time, the Laser Range Finder will stop scanning and the crosshairs will stop flashing. The display will read the lowest measured slope distance (see Fig. 5.5) recorded followed by the slope angle (see Fig. 5.6) for that object. The distance and angle will keep switching back and forth till the Laser Range Finder shuts down.
   
   NOTE: If only one slope distance and angle is needed to be measured, press and hold the OPEN button until the solid dotted box appears around the flag of the flagpole and then let the button go. The measured slope distance and and angle will then appear on the display.

3. To ensure accuracy, hold the Laser Range Finder with a firm grip and keep it steady till the measurement is displayed.

4. The default unit of measurement is M (Metres). To change the unit of measurement to Y (Yards), hold down the MODE button. To switch between the two units keep holding down the MODE button. Once the unit of measurement desired is selected, release the MODE button.
   WARNING: Please always pass your hand through the wrist strap prior to gripping the Laser Range Finder to avoid it from dropping and getting damaged.
   NOTE: If no distance is displayed on the lens display, there is a possibility that the object is not in the measuring range of 5 to 1000m. In this case, you will need to retarget and measure.
   NOTE: The Laser Range Finder will shut down automatically if it is not used within 15 seconds of turning it ON.

Fog Mode

Wet weather conditions such as fog and rain can interfere with the quality of ranging since water droplets can refract the laser emissions from the Laser Range Finder, which ultimately prevents acquiring accurate distances. This is where the Fog Mode can be a saviour, and can be used to screen out false readings from raindrops or other atmospheric interference, to provide an accurate range.

1. Put your dominant hand through the wrist strap and firmly grip the Laser Range Finder. Bring the eyepiece to your eye and point the Laser Range Finder at a distant object. If the object is not clear in your field of vision, then rotate the eyepiece of the Laser Range Finder until the object becomes clear.

2. Press down the OPEN button. The lens will display the last mode selected when the Laser Range Finder shutdown. Keep pressing the MODE button till you reach the Fog Mode (see Fig. 6.1). Aim the Laser Range Finder at your desired object. Press and release the OPEN button (short press) until the distance to the object is displayed on the lens (see Fig. 6.2).

3. To ensure accuracy, hold the Laser Range Finder with a firm grip and keep it steady till the measurement is displayed.

4. The default unit of measurement is M (Metres). To change the unit of measurement to Y (Yards), hold down the MODE button. To switch between the two units keep holding down the MODE button. Once the unit of measurement desired is selected, release the MODE button.

WARNING: Please always pass your hand through the wrist strap prior to gripping the Laser Range Finder to avoid it from dropping and getting damaged.

NOTE: Only use the Fog Mode in foggy conditions. If Fog Mode is used when fog is not evident, inconsistent measurements will be recorded and displayed.

NOTE: Fog Mode is a stand-alone mode and cannot be used in conjunction with any other modes of the Laser Range Finder.

NOTE: If no distance is displayed on the lens display, there is a possibility that the object is not in the measuring range of 5 to 1000m. In this case, you will need to retarget and measure.

NOTE: The Laser Range Finder will shut down automatically if it is not used within 15 seconds of turning it ON.

Horizontal Distance Mode

The Horizontal Distance Mode gives you the distance to your target accounting for angle. This is crucial for when your target is higher or lower than you, or cannot be directly targeted horizontally. This function is very helpful, e.g. if walls, hedges or people are between Laser Range Finder and the target. The Laser Range Finder measures the linear distance and slope angle to the target, and by using the technology built in, it calculates and displays the true horizontal distance (see Fig. 7.1).

1. Put your dominant hand through the wrist strap and firmly grip the Laser
   Range Finder. Bring the eyepiece to your eye and point the Laser Range Finder at a distant object. If the object is not clear in your field of vision, then rotate the eyepiece of the Laser Range Finder until the object becomes clear.

2. Press down the OPEN button. The lens will display the last mode selected when the Laser Range Finder shutdown. Keep pressing the MODE button till you reach the Horizontal Distance Mode (see Fig. 7.2). Aim the Laser Range Finder at your desired object, and press and release the OPEN button (short press). If the object is in measuring range, then the Horizontal Distance to the object will be displayed on the lens (see Fig. 7.3). Shortly after this value will be replaced by the slope angle (see Fig. 7.4). The horizontal distance and angle will keep switching back and forth till the Laser Range Finder shuts down.
   

3. To ensure accuracy, hold the Laser Range Finder with a firm grip and keep it steady till the measurement is displayed.

4. The default unit of measurement for horizontal distance is M (Metres). To change the unit of measurement to Y (Yards), hold down the MODE button.
   To switch between the two units keep holding down the MODE button. Once the unit of measurement desired is selected, release the MODE button.

WARNING: Please always pass your hand through the wrist strap prior to gripping the Laser Range Finder to avoid it from dropping and getting damaged.

NOTE: If no distance is displayed on the lens display, there is a possibility that the object is not in the measuring range of 5 to 1000m. In this case, you will need to retarget and measure.

NOTE: The Laser Range Finder will shut down automatically if it is not used within 15 seconds of turning it ON.

Altitude Difference Measurement Mode

The Altitude Difference Measurement Mode or Vertical Height Measurement Mode allows you to measure the vertical distance between the top and bottom (height) of an object or between a base and something above it. The Laser Range Finder measures the distance to the bottom and the top of an object, and based upon the angle between both points, calculates and displays the altitude difference/vertical height (see Fig. 8.1).

1. Put your dominant hand through the wrist strap and firmly grip the Laser Range Finder. Bring the eyepiece to your eye and point the Laser Range Finder at a distant object. If the object is not clear in your field of vision, then rotate the eyepiece of the Laser Range Finder until the object becomes clear.

2. Press down the OPEN button. The lens will display the last mode selected when the Laser Range Finder shutdown. Keep pressing the MODE button till you reach the Altitude Difference Measurement Mode (see Fig. 8.2). Hold down the OPEN button until Bottom and Scan appears on the display (see Fig. 8.3). Aim the Laser Range Finder at the bottom (base) of your desired object. On identifying the bottom, 0 will appear on the display. Bottom will then disappear from the display and then Top will appear. With the OPEN button still held down, gradually move the Laser Range Finder to the top point of the object (see Fig. 8.4). At this point the Laser Range Finder will display the altitude difference/vertical height of the object and you can now release the OPEN button.
   

3. To ensure accuracy, hold the Laser Range Finder with a firm grip and keep it steady till the measurement is displayed.

4. The default unit of measurement is M (Metres). To change the unit of measurement to Y (Yards), hold down the MODE button. To switch between the two units keep holding down the MODE button. Once the unit of measurement desired is selected, release the MODE button.

WARNING: Please always pass your hand through the wrist strap prior to gripping the Laser Range Finder to avoid it from dropping and getting damaged.

NOTE: If no distance is displayed on the lens display, there is a possibility that the object is not in the measuring range of 5 to 1000m. In this case, you will need to retarget and measure.

NOTE: The Laser Range Finder will shut down automatically if it is not used within 15 seconds of turning it ON.

Speed Mode

The Speed Mode allows the Laser Range Finder to measure the speed of moving objects within its sight.

1. Put your dominant hand through the wrist strap and firmly grip the Laser Range Finder. Bring the eyepiece to your eye and point the Laser Range Finder at a distant object. If the object is not clear in your field of vision, then rotate the eyepiece of the Laser Range Finder until the object becomes clear.

2. Press down the OPEN button. The lens will display the last mode selected when the Laser Range Finder shutdown. Keep pressing the MODE button till you reach the Speed Mode (see Fig. 9.1). Press down the OPEN button and the crosshairs will start flashing. Gradually move the Laser Range Finder towards the moving object whose speed you want to measure. Once the crosshairs lock on the object, they will stop flashing and the speed will be displayed (see Fig. 9.2).

3. To ensure accuracy, hold the Laser Range Finder with a firm grip and keep it steady till the measurement is displayed.

4. The default unit of measurement is KM/H (Kilometres per Hour). To change the unit of measurement to M/H (Miles per Hour), hold down the MODE button. To switch between the two units keep holding down the MODE button. Once the unit of measurement desired is selected, release the MODE button.

WARNING: Please always pass your hand through the wrist strap prior to gripping the Laser Range Finder to avoid it from dropping and getting damaged.

If at any time you feel your repair is being handled unsatisfactorily, you may escalate your complaint.
