5. Maintenance
5.1. Cleaning the Lenses
Gently wipe the lenses with a soft, clean microfiber cloth. For stubborn dirt or smudges, use a lens cleaning solution specifically designed for optics. Avoid using abrasive cloths or harsh chemicals, as these can scratch the lens coatings.
5.2. Storage
When not in use, store the rangefinder in its protective carrying case in a cool, dry place. Remove the battery if the device will not be used for an extended period to prevent battery leakage.
5.3. Water Resistance
The Bushnell Trophy Laser Rangefinder is designed to be rainproof. While it can withstand light rain and splashes, it is not intended for submersion in water. Ensure the battery compartment is securely closed to maintain its water resistance.
6. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No display/Device won't turn on | Dead or incorrectly installed battery | Check battery orientation. Replace with a fresh CR2 battery. |
| Inaccurate readings or no reading | Target too far, too small, or non-reflective; environmental conditions (fog, heavy rain) | Ensure target is within the 7-850 yard range. Aim at a larger, more reflective surface if possible. Wait for clearer weather conditions. |
