6. Detailed Operation
6.1 Device Overview
- Function Key: The micro-touching button on the device serves as the primary function key for power on/off and initiating measurements.
- Indicator Light: Provides visual feedback on device status.
- Display: Shows measurement data (speed, kinetic energy) and current mode.
6.2 Unit Conversion
The device supports one-click conversion between Meters per Second (m/s) and Feet per Second (FPS) modes. Refer to Figure 6.1 for visual identification of these modes on the display.
6.3 Data Recording
The tachymeter can store up to 36 groups of speed measurements and 36 groups of kinetic energy measurements. Consult the full PDF manual for instructions on how to access and manage recorded data.
7. Maintenance
- Storage: Always keep the device dry and away from moisture to prevent damage to internal components.
- Cleaning: To clean the exterior of the device, use a soft, damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Battery Care: The built-in lithium cell is protected against over-charging, over-discharging, and short circuits. For optimal battery life, avoid extreme temperatures during charging and storage.
8. Troubleshooting
- Device does not power on: Ensure the battery is charged. Connect the device to a power source using the USB charging cable.
- Inaccurate readings: Verify that the device is positioned stably and aligned correctly with the projectile's path. Ensure there are no obstructions in the measurement area. Check for sufficient lighting conditions.
- Display issues: If the display is dim or flickering, the battery might be low. Recharge the device.
- Data not recording: Ensure the device has sufficient power. If the issue persists, try powering off and on again.
9. User Tips
Based on general usage practices for similar devices, consider the following tips:
- Consistent Setup: For comparative measurements, try to maintain a consistent setup (distance from muzzle, lighting, etc.) to minimize variables.
- Environmental Factors: Be aware that extreme temperatures or very low light conditions can sometimes affect measurement accuracy.
- Battery Life: Charge the device fully before extended use. The intelligent shutdown feature helps conserve battery when not in active use.
10. Safety Information
WARNINGS:
- Consult a doctor before use if you have any health concerns that might be exacerbated by activities involving projectile measurement.
- Ensure clear space for movement during operation to prevent accidents.
GENERAL SAFETY:
- Keep the device dry and away from moisture.
- Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the device, as this may void the warranty and pose safety risks.
- Always handle projectiles and firearms responsibly and in accordance with all local laws and safety guidelines. This device is a measurement tool and does not replace safe handling practices.
