Operating Instructions

Powering On/Off

Press the power button (usually the 'Measure' button) to turn on the device. The device will automatically power off after a period of inactivity to conserve battery.

External Side Display

The rangefinder features an external LCD display for enhanced visibility of measurements. This display allows for easy double-checking of data and is particularly useful in low light conditions or for users with reading difficulties.

Slope Compensation

The slope compensation feature adjusts the measured distance based on the incline or decline of the terrain, providing a more accurate "play as" distance. This function can be toggled on or off using the dedicated switch on the device.

• To Enable/Disable Slope: Locate the physical slope switch on the side of the rangefinder and slide it to the desired position.
• Tournament Legal: Ensure the slope function is turned OFF for official tournament play to comply with rules.

Versatile Measurement Modes

The rangefinder offers several modes to suit different measurement needs:

• Golf Flag Locking: Designed to quickly lock onto the flagstick, filtering out background objects. The device will vibrate upon successful flag lock.
• Speed Measurement: Measures the speed of moving objects.
• Continuous Scan Measurement: Allows for rapid measurement of multiple targets in succession by continuously pressing the measure button.
• Two-Point Height Mode: Calculates the height difference between two points.
• Horizontal and Vertical Distance Measurement: Provides horizontal and vertical components of the measured distance.

Unit Switching (Feet, Yards, Meters)

You can easily switch between measurement units (feet, yards, meters) to suit your preference or sport (e.g., disc golf often uses feet).

Magnetic Attachment

The integrated N95 strong magnet allows the rangefinder to securely attach to metal surfaces, such as a golf cart frame or club, ensuring it remains accessible and stable during play.

Care and Maintenance

• Cleaning: Use the provided lens cloth to gently clean the optical lenses. For the body, wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.
• Storage: Store the rangefinder in its portable soft case when not in use to protect it from dust and scratches. Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Battery Care: To prolong battery life, avoid fully discharging the battery frequently. Recharge the device when the battery indicator is low. If storing for an extended period, charge the battery to approximately 50% every few months.
• Water Resistance: The device is rated as "Waterproof". While designed to withstand moisture, avoid submerging it in water for prolonged periods.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your ACPOTEL Golf Range Finder, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

1. Why can't I get a reading?

   The minimum range for measurement is 5 yards. If you are attempting to use it in small rooms, through glass, or if the distance to the target is outside its operational range, it may not display a reading.

2. Why does the reading seem not as accurate as usual sometimes?

   Environmental factors such as rain, fog, strong light, or heavy dust can interfere with the laser transmission and affect accuracy. For small objects, ensure you are aiming directly at the target and there is no distracting background.

3. How to lock a flag accurately?

   In golf mode, the key to accurate flag locking is slow and steady scanning. Hold the measure button and scan from behind the flag to the flag in the front. The device will vibrate when the flag is successfully locked, and the reading will remain stable.
