Setup

1. Charging the Battery:

   The rangefinder is equipped with a built-in USB-C rechargeable battery. Connect the provided USB-C cable to the charging port on the device and to a standard USB power adapter (not included). The charging indicator light will illuminate during charging and turn off when fully charged. A full charge can last for approximately 200 rounds of golf or 100 days of wilderness hunting.

   

2. Powering On/Off:

   Press the Power/Measure button (usually located on the top of the device) to turn the rangefinder on. The display will activate. To turn off, press and hold the Power/Measure button, or the device will automatically power off after a period of inactivity to conserve battery.

3. Adjusting Focus:

   Rotate the eyepiece to adjust the focus until the display and target appear clear and sharp.

Operating Instructions

The rangefinder offers multiple operating modes for various scenarios.

Mode Selection

Press the 'M' (Mode) button to cycle through the available modes. The current mode will be indicated on the display.

• Slope Compensation Mode: Provides adjusted distances based on elevation changes.
• Vertical/Horizontal Distance Mode: Measures vertical and horizontal distances to a target.
• Angle Mode: Displays the angle of inclination or declination to the target.
• Speed Mode: Measures the speed of a moving target.
• Scanning Mode: Allows for continuous measurement of multiple targets.

Taking a Measurement

1. Look through the eyepiece and aim the reticle at your desired target.
2. Press the Power/Measure button once to activate the laser and take a measurement. The distance will be displayed on the LCD.
3. For continuous scanning, press and hold the Power/Measure button. The display will update measurements as you pan across targets.

Anti-Shake Technology

This feature helps stabilize the measurement, providing a more consistent reading even if your hands are not perfectly steady. The device automatically compensates for minor movements.

Flagpole Locking with Vibration

When targeting a flagpole, the rangefinder will lock onto the flag and provide a short vibration to confirm that the measurement is specifically to the flag and not a background object.

Slope Function

To activate or deactivate the slope compensation feature, use the dedicated switch located on the side of the rangefinder. When activated, the device will display the actual distance and the slope-adjusted distance, which is crucial for accurate shot planning on varied terrain.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Use a soft, clean cloth to wipe the lenses and the body of the rangefinder. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by a dry cloth. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.
• Storage: Store the rangefinder in its protective case in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid extreme temperatures and direct sunlight.
• Battery Care: Recharge the battery regularly, even if the device is not used frequently, to maintain battery health. Avoid fully discharging the battery for extended periods.
