Operating Instructions

Powering On/Off

To power on the Pro X3, press the Power/Fire button once. The unit will automatically power off after approximately 10 seconds of inactivity to conserve battery life.

Basic Ranging

3. For continuous scanning, press and hold the Power/Fire button while sweeping across multiple targets. The display will update distances continuously.

Modes and Features

The Pro X3 offers several advanced modes to optimize your golfing experience:

• PinSeeker with Visual JOLT: This mode allows for easy acquisition of the flagstick without inadvertently capturing background targets. When the flag is acquired, the Pro X3 provides a short vibration (JOLT) and a red ring flashes in the display for visual confirmation.
• Slope Technology: The integrated Slope-Switch Technology provides compensated distance based on the hole's incline or decline. To activate/deactivate Slope, slide the logo plate on the side of the unit up or down. When Slope is active, a "SLOPE" indicator will appear in the display.
• BITE Magnetic Mount: The Pro X3 features a powerful BITE magnetic mount integrated into its side, allowing it to be securely attached to a golf cart bar or other metal surfaces for easy access.
• Unit of Measure: To switch between Yards (Y) and Meters (M), press and hold the Mode button until the unit of measure changes.

Maintenance

Cleaning

Gently wipe the exterior of the Pro X3 with a soft, clean cloth. For lenses, use the provided lens cleaning cloth or a similar soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals that could scratch the lens coatings or damage the device.

Storage

Store the Pro X3 in its protective carrying case when not in use. Keep it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. If storing for an extended period, remove the battery to prevent leakage.

Troubleshooting

If you experience issues with your Bushnell Pro X3, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• No Power: Ensure the CR2 battery is new and correctly installed with the positive (+) terminal facing outwards.
• Inaccurate Readings: Ensure the lens is clean. Make sure you are aiming at a clear target. Environmental conditions like fog or heavy rain can affect performance.
• Display Issues: Check battery level. Adjust display brightness if it appears too dim or too bright.
• Unit Not Ranging: Ensure the Power/Fire button is fully pressed and released. The target may be outside the minimum or maximum range.
