4.1. Changing Measurement Units

The device supports both meters (M) and yards (YD). Refer to the on-screen display for the current unit. The method to switch units is typically done via the Mode button or a combination of button presses. Consult the on-screen menu if available.

4.2. Measurement Modes

Press the 'Mode' button to cycle through the available measurement modes:

Figure 5: Available Measurement Modes

1. Distance Mode: Measures the linear distance to a target. Point the device at the target and press the Power button. The distance will be displayed.
2. Speed Mode: Measures the speed of a moving object. Aim at the moving object and activate this mode.
3. Flagpole Mode (Golf Scan): Designed for golf, this mode helps identify the flagpole among background objects and locks onto it, providing the distance to the flag.
4. Angle Mode: Measures the angle of inclination or declination to the target.
5. Height & Distance Mode: Calculates the height of an object and its distance from the user.
6. Height & Angle Mode: Calculates the height of an object based on two points and the angle.

4.3. Continuous Measurement (Scan Mode)

In Distance Mode, press and hold the Power button to activate continuous measurement. This allows you to scan across multiple targets, and the display will update with real-time distances (min/max values may also be shown).

4.4. Using with a Tripod

The BH-1000 can be mounted on a tripod for increased stability and precision, especially for long-distance measurements. Locate the bracket hole on the device and attach it to a compatible tripod.

5. Maintenance

5.1. Cleaning

• Use a soft, clean cloth to wipe the exterior of the device.
• For lenses, use a lens cleaning cloth and solution specifically designed for optical surfaces. Do not use abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.
• Keep the device free from dust and dirt.

5.2. Storage

• When not in use for extended periods, remove the battery to prevent leakage.
• Store the device in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Keep it in its protective case to prevent scratches and damage.

6. Troubleshooting

• Device not powering on: Check if the battery is correctly installed and has sufficient charge. Replace the battery if necessary.
• Inaccurate readings: Ensure the lens is clean and unobstructed. Make sure you are in the correct measurement mode for your target. Avoid measuring through glass or highly reflective surfaces if possible.
• Display not clear: Adjust the diopter until the display is sharp.
• No measurement: Ensure the target is within the specified measurement range and is not too small or too dark.

8. User Tips

• For best accuracy, ensure a steady hand or use a tripod, especially for longer distances.
• When using Flagpole Mode, try to aim slightly above the flag and then slowly lower the crosshairs to allow the device to lock onto the nearest object (the flag).
• Keep the lenses clean to avoid blurry readings or measurement errors.
• In Speed Mode, ensure the object is moving perpendicular to your line of sight for more accurate speed detection.
