Operating Instructions
Power On/Off
Press the Power button (usually marked with a power symbol) once to turn on the device. The display will activate. The device will automatically power off after a period of inactivity to conserve battery.
Mode Selection
Press the Mode button (usually marked 'MODE' or 'M') to cycle through the available measurement modes: Range Mode (M1), Slope Flag-Locking Mode (M2), and Speed Mode (M3).
M1: Range Mode (Normal/Continuous Measurement)
In Range Mode, the device measures the straight-line distance to a target. Press and hold the Power button to activate continuous scanning, which is useful for measuring distances to multiple targets or moving objects. Release the button to stop scanning and display the last measured distance.

M2: Slope Flag-Locking Mode with Vibration
This mode is ideal for golf. Aim the crosshairs at the flagstick. The device will quickly lock onto the flag, providing the accurate distance and vibrating to confirm target acquisition. This mode also calculates slope-adjusted distance, which can be toggled on or off.

Slope Function On/Off Switch
The LF600AG features a physical switch to enable or disable the slope compensation function. Turn slope 'ON' to get compensated distances for uphill or downhill shots, which is beneficial for practice. Turn slope 'OFF' to comply with tournament rules, providing only line-of-sight distance.

M3: Speed Mode
In Speed Mode, the rangefinder can measure the speed of a moving object. Aim at the object and press the Power button. The device will display the speed in kilometers per hour (Km/h).
