2. Initial Power-On
After installing the battery, press the power button (usually marked with a red circle) to turn on the device. The display should illuminate, indicating it is ready for use.
Operating Instructions
Power On/Off
Press the red power button located on the top of the device to turn it on. The device will automatically power off after a period of inactivity to conserve battery life.
Measuring Distance
Look through the eyepiece and align the reticle with your target. Press the power button once to activate the laser and display the distance. The device features 6x magnification for clear viewing.
Precise Slope Measurement
The Pro XS rangefinder accounts for elevation changes to provide a slope-adjusted distance. To activate or deactivate this feature, slide the eyepiece. When active, the display will show both the actual distance and the compensated distance.

Pin-Locking Technology (P.A.T.)
This feature allows you to lock onto the flagstick up to 300 yards away with confidence. When the laser successfully hits the pin, the device will provide a pulse confirmation (vibration) to indicate a precise lock.
