Operating Instructions
1. Measuring Distance
- Look through the eyepiece and aim the reticle (circle in the center of the display) at your desired target.
- Press and release the Power/Fire button. The distance to the target will be displayed in the viewfinder.
- For continuous scanning, press and hold the Power/Fire button while sweeping across multiple targets.
2. Pinseeker with Visual Jolt
This feature assists in acquiring the flagstick without inadvertently picking up background targets. When multiple objects are in the field of view, the rangefinder prioritizes the closest object, which is typically the flagstick.
- While aiming at the flagstick, press and hold the Power/Fire button.
- Slowly sweep the reticle across the flagstick.
- Once the flagstick is identified and locked, the device will vibrate (JOLT) and a red ring will flash in the display, confirming the measurement.
3. BITE Magnetic Mount
The integrated BITE magnetic mount allows for convenient attachment of the rangefinder to metal surfaces, such as a golf cart frame. This provides easy access during play.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
