UNIT OF MEASUREMENT
Press and hold the Mode Button down for 3 seconds to alternate between meters and yards.
Pressing the Mode Button briefly will change the “Mode” for multiple readings: NORMAL/SCAN> PIN SEEKER> SLOPE

INSERTING THE BATTERY

1. Placing your thumb over the grooves on the battery cover and push down to remove it completely.
2. Pull the ribbon out to ensure it is under the battery to allow for easy battery removal. Insert the CR2-3V Lithium battery on top of the ribbon with the negative end facing the spring inside of the battery compartment.

ADJUSTING THE EYEPIECE

1. Look through the rubber eyepiece.
2. Turn the eyepiece/diopter to the left or right until the image is clear.

VIEWING THE LCD DISPLAY
The Rangefinder uses eye-safe beams to measure the distance to objects up to 540 yards away, by measuring the time it takes for the laser pulse to reflect off of the target and return.

In addition to golfing, the rangefinder can be used for hunting, and surveying equipment for architectural and outdoor projects. Weather conditions, along with the size, shape, surface, and color of the target can affect performance. Holding the rangefinder steady is essential to getting an accurate reading.

NORMAL MODE

Normal Mode wlll allow you to find the exact distance quickly. Use Normal Mode when you are measuring the distance to an area or a flag that Is dearly defined with a simple background.
Golfers tell us that they prefer Normal Mode for targets within 150 yards.

1. Aim the object whose distance you want to calculate.
2. Press the Power Buttan once briefly while aiming at a target, such as a bunker. The display screen will show the distance. After taking a measurement, press 11Pawar” again to find the distance to a new target.

SCAN MODE

Use “Scan Mode” while In “Normal Mode” Just by holding down the Power Button when determining the distance to hazards and when you want to have a comprehensive understanding of multiple distances on the course. Use Scan Mode when It’s windy and for targets surrounded by background objects.
The word “SCAN” appears on screen.

1. Hold the Power Button for 8 seconds. At the same time, sweep the rangefinder from object to object.
2. Hold the Pawer Button for 8 seconds. At the same time, sweep the rangefinder from object to object.

PIN SEEKER MODE
Use “Pin Seeker Mode” (to find the closest vertical object) the distance to a flagstick on a green with wood in the background well as when measuring overlapping targets. It is also good to use on a windy day. The locking function allows you to confidently take your shot.

1. Press the Mada Button briefly to see a flag icon on the display which indicates that you are in Pin Seeker Made.
2. Press the Mada Button 8 briefly to see a flag icon on the display which indicates that you are in Pin Seeker Made.

SLOPE MODE
Use “Slope Mode” to obtain the distance to the closest object when multiple objects are detected and also correct for the angle. (This mode is also known as the “Closest Distance Object Priority Function”).

1. Press the Mode Button MODE until you see the Angle symbol and the Flag 1 on the screen as an indicator that the Slope is ON.
2. Aim the object whose distance you want to calculate and press the Power Button while aiming at a target.
3. The angle of the slope will appear next to the Angle < symbol. Next to the larger Y or M (yards/meters) will be the distance, and next to the smaller Y or M will be the slope corrected distance.

NOTE When measuring be sure to have no other object between you and your target.

SLOPE + PIN SEEKER MODE

The distance shown in the larger font will be the Actual Distance.
The distance shown in the smaller font is the Slope Corrected Distance.

A) Angle
B) Actual distance
C) Slope corrected distance

DO NOT TAKE MEASUREMENTS WHILE AIMING THROUGH GLASS SUCH AS WINDOWS, OR GOLF CART WINOSHIELOS, ETC.

MAINTENANCE

1. Remove dust or dirt on the lens surface using a soft, oil free brush before storing the rangefinder back in the carrying case.
2. Remove smudges or fingerprints by gently rubbing with a soft glass cleaning cloth or a high-quality, oil-free tissue.
3. Use lens cleaners designed for use with photographic equipment or isopropyl alcohol to wipe the lenses. Always apply cleaning fluid to the cleaning cloth first. DO NOT pour any liquids onto the lens.
4. If water vapor enters the unit place it in direct sunlight for two to three hours. DO NOT turn on.
5. When storing the rangefinder for periods longer than 30 days, remove the battery first to avoid corrosion.
