5.5 Slope Switch Function (M1 Mode)

The LC1200AG(Slope) model includes a physical slope switch. This switch is located on the side of the device near the eyepiece. Slide the switch to enable or disable the slope compensation feature. When enabled, the device will provide slope-adjusted distances, which is useful for practice rounds. When disabled, it provides linear distance, making it tournament legal.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Use the provided lens cloth to gently wipe the lenses. For stubborn dirt, use a soft, clean cloth slightly dampened with water. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.
• Storage: Store the rangefinder in its protective storage bag when not in use. Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
