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.
