Product Features
The AOFAR GX-2S Rangefinder incorporates several key features for enhanced performance:
- Golf Rangefinder Functionality: Measures distances from 5 to 600 yards, with specific capabilities for flag (5-285 yds) and tree (5-415 yds) targets. Features high-definition 6X magnification and a clear LCD display for fast and accurate readings with an accuracy of ±1 yard.
- Slope Switch Technology: Provides slope and angle readings, which can be toggled off for tournament legality. A signal "OFF" appears when slope is deactivated, leaving only straight-line distance.

Measurement Modes
The GX-2S offers different measurement modes. Refer to the specific buttons on your device for mode switching (typically a "MODE" or "M" button).
- Standard Measurement: Point the rangefinder at your target and press the power/measurement button. The distance will be displayed.
