Operating Instructions

1. Power On/Off

• To power on the device, press the Power On/Start button.
• The rangefinder will automatically power off after 15 seconds of inactivity to conserve battery. To reactivate, press the Power On/Start button again.

2. Mode Selection (Meter/Yard)

To switch between meters and yards:

• With the device powered on, press the Mode/Meter & Yard Button to cycle through available measurement units.

3. Slope-Switch Function

The slope function provides compensated distance measurements, accounting for elevation changes. This feature can be toggled on or off for tournament play compliance.

• Locate the Slope Switch on the side of the rangefinder.
• Slide the switch to the 'ON' position to enable slope compensation. The display will show the compensated distance.
• Slide the switch to the 'OFF' position to disable slope compensation for legal tournament play. The display will show the direct line-of-sight distance.

4. Flag Lock with Pulse Vibration

This feature helps you lock onto the flagpole, ignoring background objects, and confirms acquisition with a vibration.

1. Aim the rangefinder at the target (e.g., flagpole).
2. Press and hold the Power On/Start button while sweeping the rangefinder back and forth slightly across the target.
3. Once the rangefinder locks onto the flag, it will emit a short pulse vibration, and the distance will be displayed.

5. Continuous Scan Mode

For quick measurements of multiple targets or moving objects, use the continuous scan mode.

• Press and hold the Power On/Start button.
• Scan across various targets. The display will continuously update with distances to different objects in your field of view.

Maintenance

Proper care and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your rangefinder.

• Cleaning Lenses: Use the provided cleaning cloth or a soft, lint-free cloth to gently wipe the lenses. Avoid using abrasive materials or harsh chemicals that could scratch the optical surfaces.

  • Press the Power On/Start button firmly.
• Inaccurate Readings:
  • Check if the lenses are clean and free from smudges or debris.
  • Ensure you are targeting the correct object. Use Flag Lock mode for flagpoles.

  • Environmental factors like heavy fog or rain can affect accuracy.
• Display Not Clear:
  • Adjust the focus ring (diopter) until the display is sharp for your vision.
  • Clean the eyepiece and objective lenses.
