Product Features

The R2G MATE HYBRID is a golf rangefinder integrating laser, GPS, and geomagnetic sensors. It features R2G's unique MPV (MATE PIN VIEWER) for accurate distance and pin position information. It is compatible with over 40,000 GOLF COURSE MAPS worldwide.

Key Features:

• MATE PIN VIEWER: Provides precise pin location on the green and approach distance (operates within 150Y(m) of the pin).
• FPGA chipset: High-performance laser system for enhanced speed and reduced signal noise in various weather conditions.
• Laser, GPS & Geomagnetic (Integrated System): Offers customized information like shot aiming guides and green surroundings.
• MATE MODE: Features R2G's patented triangulation function to measure distances for up to four companions after a single target measurement.
• SLOPE MODE: Differentiates uphill and downhill for accurate approach distances, with an option for non-slope display.
• PIN CATCHER & JOLT FUNCTION: Targets the pin specifically, even with background obstacles. Provides one vibration for standard measurement and two for Pin Catcher measurement.
• APPROACH FUNCTION: Displays distance to the target to one decimal place for distances under 100Y(m) for precise targeting.

How to use

Power ON

Press the Power / Measurement Button briefly to activate the laser function. Both the rangefinder OLED and the external Viewer turn on.

Power OFF

The power will automatically shut off if the device or external VIEWER is not working. The Rangefinder OLED powers off after about 7 seconds. The External VIEWER powers off after 10 minutes on the main screen or 60 minutes upon entering Golf Play. Swipe down from the top of the external VIEWER main screen to turn off power or select the rangefinder mode.

Battery Level Check

When the battery level is low (one bar), the indicator blinks, and the device switches to rangefinder mode. The OLED and VIEWER display battery levels from 100% down to LOW.

Charging

Charge the battery when the 'Low-power Please charge' message appears or the battery icon is low. 'Charging Complete' will be displayed when fully charged. Use a 5V/1A compatible adapter and cable.

Brightness Setting (Automatic)

The brightness of the Rangefinder OLED and external VIEWER screen adjusts automatically to external brightness. The initial setting is A(Auto).

Brightness Setting (Manual)

Rangefinder OLED: While holding the measurement button, briefly press the mode button to adjust brightness in steps A-1-2-3-4-5.

External VIEWER: In 'Settings → Brightness', manually set brightness from 1 to 5.

Focus Adjustment

Adjust the OLED display clarity by turning the rangefinder's focus dial left or right.

Distance Unit Change

After powering on, press and hold the mode button for more than 2 seconds to switch between meters (M) and yards (Y). Units are synchronized between the Rangefinder and VIEWER.

Distance Measurement & Vibration Alert

• Standard Measurement: Press the measurement button briefly; distance displayed with one vibration.
• Pin Catcher Measurement: Hold the measurement button, scan left/right. Closest target is captured with two vibrations. Pin Catcher icon activates.

The rangefinder is equipped with an approach function, displaying distance to one decimal place for ranges under 100m/100Y.

Slope / Non-Slope Mode

• Slope Mode: Measures adjusted distance accounting for elevation difference.
• Non-Slope Mode: Measures straight-line distance.

How to Switch Slope / Non-Slope Mode: Press the mode button briefly to toggle. In 'Settings → Golf Settings → Slope Mode', you can switch between ON/OFF. The R2G logo displays for 2 seconds on the external viewer when the measurement button is pressed. Slope/Non-Slope modes are synchronized.

The Club Recommendation feature is disabled in Non-Slope mode.

MATE MODE

R2G's patented MATE MODE fosters camaraderie and improves skills. (Patent No. 10-2626537). Scan the QR code for detailed instructions. Measure the target (Pin) first, preferably using Pin Catcher measurement. In Multi Mate mode, up to 4 points can be measured after the initial pin measurement.
