3. Setup

3.1 Initial Charging:

Before first use, fully charge the device. Connect the provided USB charging cable to the Type-C port on the rangefinder and to a USB power source (e.g., computer, wall adapter). The charging indicator will show the charging status. A full charge allows for approximately 8000 measurements.

3.2 Eyepiece Adjustment (Diopter):

To ensure a clear view, adjust the eyepiece. Rotate the diopter adjustment ring on the eyepiece until the display and the target appear sharp and in focus. This compensates for individual eyesight differences.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Basic Measurement:

1. Look through the eyepiece.
2. Press the "PWR ON" button once to activate the display.
3. Aim the crosshairs at your target.
4. Press the "PWR ON" button again to take a measurement. The distance will be displayed in the viewfinder.

4.2 Mode Selection:

Press the "MODE" button to cycle through different measurement modes (e.g., straight line distance, speed measurement, continuous measurement). The current mode will be indicated on the display.

4.3 Flag-Lock Function:

To use the flag-lock feature, aim at the flag and press and hold the "PWR ON" button. The device will vibrate once the flag is successfully locked, indicating the distance to the flag. This helps to distinguish the flag from background objects.

4.4 Slope Compensation:

The GS700 features a slope compensation function. This can be toggled ON or OFF using the dedicated switch on the side of the device. When ON, the device calculates the "play-as" distance, accounting for elevation changes. When OFF, it provides only the straight-line distance, making it suitable for tournament play. A green light indicator will illuminate when slope compensation is OFF.

4.5 Unit Switching:

The device supports both meters and yards. Refer to the display for the current unit. The method for switching units is typically done by pressing and holding the MODE button or a combination of buttons. Please consult the included Japanese manual for specific instructions on unit conversion.

4.6 Magnetic Attachment:

The rangefinder features a strong magnetic strip on its side, allowing it to be securely attached to metal surfaces such as a golf cart frame or club. This provides convenient access during play.
