Operating Instructions

Powering On and Off

• To power on, press and release the POWER/FIRE button. The unit will automatically power off after approximately 10 seconds of inactivity to conserve battery life.

Measuring Distances

1. Look through the eyepiece and aim the reticle (circle in the center of the display) at your desired target.
2. Press and release the POWER/FIRE button. The distance will be displayed in the LCD.

Pinseeker Mode

Pinseeker mode is ideal for acquiring the flagstick without inadvertently getting distances to background objects like trees.

• While looking through the eyepiece, press and hold the POWER/FIRE button.
• Slowly pan the rangefinder across the flagstick and the background.
• The Pinseeker system will identify the closer object (the flag) and display its distance. A small circle around the flag icon in the display indicates Pinseeker has locked onto the flag.

SCAN Mode

For continuous distance updates, use SCAN mode.

• Press and hold the POWER/FIRE button.
• Pan the rangefinder across various targets. The LCD display will continuously update with the distances to the objects you are scanning.

Changing Measurement Units (Yards/Meters)

To switch between yards and meters:

• With the unit powered on, press and hold the MODE button (usually located near the POWER/FIRE button) for approximately 3 seconds.
• The unit will toggle between "Y" (yards) and "M" (meters) in the display. Release the button when your desired unit is shown.

Maintenance

Cleaning the Lenses

Gently blow away any dust or debris on the lenses. Use a soft, clean microfiber cloth to wipe the lenses. For stubborn dirt or smudges, apply a small amount of lens cleaning fluid to the cloth and gently wipe. Avoid using abrasive cloths or excessive force.

General Care and Storage

• Store the rangefinder in its protective carrying case when not in use.
• Avoid exposing the device to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight for prolonged periods, or high humidity.
• Do not attempt to disassemble the rangefinder, as this will void the warranty.

Troubleshooting

No Display or Device Not Powering On

• Check the battery. Ensure it is inserted correctly with the correct polarity.
• Replace the battery with a new CR2 3-volt lithium battery.

Inaccurate Readings

• Ensure the target is within the effective range (5-1000 yards).
• Verify that the lenses are clean and free from obstructions.
• For Pinseeker mode, ensure you are sweeping across the flagstick to allow the device to differentiate it from background objects.
• Environmental factors like fog, rain, or very bright sunlight can affect accuracy.

Difficulty Acquiring Target

• Hold the device steady. For longer distances, bracing your arm or using both hands can improve stability.
• Ensure there are no obstructions between you and the target.
