3. Mode Selection

Press the Mode/Set button repeatedly to cycle through the available measurement modes:

• Standard Distance Mode: Measures direct line-of-sight distance.
• Golf Mode (Slope Compensation): Provides adjusted distance based on incline/decline. Activate/deactivate slope compensation using the dedicated slide switch on the side of the device.
• Pin Lock with Vibration: Identifies and locks onto the nearest target (e.g., flagpole) and vibrates upon successful lock.
• Speed Mode: Measures the speed of a moving object.
• Height and Level Mode: Measures the height and horizontal distance to a target.
• Scanning Mode: Continuously scans and displays distances to multiple targets.
• Azimuth Mode: Provides angular measurements.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Use the provided lens cleaning cloth to gently wipe the lenses. Do not use abrasive materials or chemical cleaners.
• Storage: Store the rangefinder in its portable soft case when not in use. Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Battery Care: Recharge the battery regularly, even if not in frequent use, to maintain battery health. Avoid fully depleting the battery for extended periods.

Troubleshooting

• No Power: Ensure the battery is charged. Connect the USB-C cable and charge the device.
• Inaccurate Readings:
  • Check if the eyepiece is properly focused.
  • Ensure the target is within the effective range (3-1200 yards).
  • Verify that the correct measurement unit (yards/meters) is selected.
  • Environmental factors like heavy fog or rain can affect accuracy.
• Unit Not Switching (Meters/Yards): Press and hold the Mode/Set button for a few seconds until the unit changes. A quick press might only cycle through modes.
