Operating Instructions

Power On/Off

• Pin Lock Mode: Prioritizes the closest object (e.g., flagstick) and provides a short vibration upon locking.

Slope Compensation Switch

The SILLAID Golf Range Finder features an external slide switch to enable or disable slope compensation. This is crucial for tournament play where slope-adjusted distances are often prohibited.

• Slope ON (Red Indicator): Slide the switch to enable slope compensation. The device will calculate and display the "play as" distance, accounting for uphill or downhill terrain.
• Slope OFF (Green Indicator): Slide the switch to disable slope compensation. The device will only display the straight-line distance, making it compliant with tournament rules.
