   Brightness Setting
   TIP: Your Red OLED Display brightness setting comes defaulted to level 5. If your display readout is too bright, try decreasing the brightness to level 1, 2, 3 or 4.

5. Measuring Distance: Aim the Aiming Reticle on the object you want to range and press the Power Button to display the distance. Your factory default setting is the Slope-On Mode.
   In the Slope-Off Mode: The line of sight (LOS) value is displayed on the first line just below the Aiming Reticle.
   In the Slope-On Mode: The LOS value will display on the first line, and the “play at” slope distance will display on the second (bottom) line.

6. Change between Slope-On and Slope-Off Mode: Hold the Mode Button for 2 to 3 seconds to enter the menu settings. Short press the Mode Button to advance to the Slope-On/ Slope Off menu setting. Press the power button to cycle between Slope On (SLoP on) and Slope Off (SLoP oFF).
   When your preferred Slope On or Off setting is blinking, press the Mode Button to select.

7. Use Pin Lock with Vibration Pulse: Our Pin Lock feature provides visual and vibration feedback so you can be confident in the distance to the flagstick.
   Hold down the Power (Range) Button for about 2 seconds when aiming at the flag- stick. The rangefinder will vibrate and display a flagstick icon in the display indicating you ranged the flag. If you do not want to use the Pin Lock feature, just press the Power (Range) Button, and do not hold down the button.
   The rangefinder may not display the flag icon and vibrate if the laser only reflects off of the flagstick and does not hit any other objects behind the flag, or if objects behind the flag are less than 3 yards away. If the laser hits both the flag and objects behind the flag, then the rangefinder will display a flag icon and vibrate if the objects behind the flag are more than 3 yards away.

8. Turn On / Off Voice Mode: Voice Mode provides an audio description of the ranging distance. Hold the Mode Button for 3 seconds to enter the menu settings. Press the Mode Button to advance to the Speak On/Speak Off setting. Press the Power Button to cycle between Speak On (SPK on) and Speak Off (SPK off). When your preferred setting is blinking, press the Mode Button to select.

9. Turn off the rangefinder: The unit will turn off automatically if no operation for 10 seconds and will keep the last setting used.

Tips for Using Your Rangefinder

• This rangefinder features Slope Mode. In Slope Mode your rangefinder will provide you the adjusted play distance based on the angle of decline or incline to the flag. To learn more about Slope Mode, please visit our website.
• Your laser rangefinder comes defaulted to the Slope-On Mode. In this mode, it will display both the Line of Sight (LOS) value and the Slope (play-at) distance.
• To make it easier to range the flagstick, hold the Power (Range) Button down for 2 seconds to enter the Pin Lock with Vibration Pulse Mode. The rangefinder will vibrate and display a flagstick icon confirming you have ranged the flag. You may need to hold the Power (Range) Button down for a few seconds until the rangefinder locates the flagstick.
• Under ideal conditions, your Astra Optix™ Pro X-1 Laser Rangefinder can measure the distance of reflective objects out to 1,760 yds. It can also measure a tree out to 1,000 yds. and the flag out to 450 yards. The Pin Lock with Vibration Pulse Mode works up to a distance of 250 yards. The type of target you are ranging strongly impacts the maximum ranging distance.
• Shiny reflective objects such as metal buildings will range much better than less-reflective objects such as trees, animal fur, bushes or grass. Objects that are more dense, such as trees or rock, will range better than bushes or grass.
• Bright-colored objects normally range better than dark-colored objects.
• Rain, fog, snow, bright sunny days and dusty days will reduce the overall ranging performance.
• Cloudy days without fog, snow, rain or dust blowing in the air provide the best ranging conditions.
• Targets that have a flat surface 90° to the laser emitting from the laser rangefinder range better than targets that have a curved surface, or are positioned at an angle in relation to the emitted laser.
• If the Low Battery Indicator flashes, we recommend that you change the battery as soon as possible.
• If at any time, your rangefinder freezes or is not responsive after turning it on, reset the rangefinder by removing the battery. Wait 10 seconds and then replace the battery. This will usually fix the issue.
