1. Ensure the chronograph is powered on and placed on a stable surface, or mounted on a tripod using the standard camera screw hole on the bottom.
2. Aim your airsoft gun directly through the orange measurement tube. For gas and CO2 guns, maintain a distance of more than 10 cm from the device to avoid smoke interference.
3. Fire a BB through the tube. The device will automatically detect the BB and display the measurement results on the LCD screen.
