Power On/Off
To power on the device, press the Power/Measure button (usually marked with a power symbol or 'M'). The display will illuminate. The device will automatically power off after a period of inactivity to conserve battery life.
Eyepiece Adjustment
Rotate the diopter adjustment ring on the eyepiece to bring the reticle and display into sharp focus for your vision. This ensures clear viewing of targets and measurement readings.

- Press the Power/Measure button once. The distance to the target will be displayed in the eyepiece.

Maintenance
Cleaning
- Lenses: Use a soft, clean microfiber cloth specifically designed for optics. Gently wipe the lens surfaces. For stubborn smudges, a small amount of lens cleaning solution can be applied to the cloth, not directly to the lens.
- Body: Wipe the body of the rangefinder with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
Storage
When not in use, store the rangefinder in its nylon case in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Remove the battery if the device will not be used for an extended period to prevent leakage.
