• Product Label and Serial Number: Identifies the specific unit.

LCD Description

The viewfinder displays various indicators:

• P: Indicates when the Pin Finder function is activated.
• S: Indicates when the Scan function is activated.
• Distance Display: Shows the measured distance, either slope-adjusted or straight-line.
• Distance Unit: Displays the unit of measurement (M for Meter, Y for Yard).
• Targeting Crosshair: The aiming reticle used to target the desired object.
• Focus Square: Blinks while searching for the target and disappears upon successful capture.
• Battery Indicator: Shows the remaining battery level.
• Straight Line Distance: Displays the direct distance to the target.
• Height of Target (H: Number): Indicates the vertical difference (uphill: +, downhill: -) relative to the user.

Getting Started

Inserting the Battery

1. Remove the battery cover by rotating it counterclockwise.
2. Lift and remove the protective film between the battery and the cap.
3. Insert a CR2 3V battery with the negative (-) end facing inward.

Setting Focus

Use the viewfinder to aim at a target. Rotate the diopter adjustment dial until the target and the crosshairs appear clear and sharp.

QUICK GRAB

The device features a built-in magnet, allowing it to be attached to golf carts or clubs for convenience.

How to Operate

1. Power On: Press the Power / Measurement Button.
2. Select Mode: Press the Mode Button to cycle through Standard, Scan, and Pin Finder modes.
3. Aim: Align the targeting crosshairs with the desired object.
4. Measure: Press the Power / Measurement Button again. The Focus Square will appear, and the distance will be measured.

Changing the Unit of Measurement

Hold down the Mode Button for approximately 3 seconds to toggle between Meters (M) and Yards (Y).

Slope Function

Slope ON/OFF

Press and hold the Mode Button for 5 seconds to turn the Slope feature on or off.

Slope Function Details

• [Slope ON]: Displays the slope-adjusted distance prominently. It first shows the straight-line distance, then after about 2 seconds, displays the height difference as 'H: Number' (positive for uphill, negative for downhill).
• [Slope OFF]: Displays only the straight-line distance. Other slope-related indicators will disappear.

Mode Settings

The device offers two primary modes: Standard/Pin Finder and Scan.

Standard Mode and Pin Finder Mode

• Press the Power / Measurement Button briefly to display the distance with vibration feedback.
• Press and hold the Power / Measurement Button for 2-3 seconds to activate Pin Finder Mode.
• Pin Finder Mode is useful for identifying the closest target when multiple objects are present, ensuring accurate measurement to the pin even if obscured by trees or rocks. For best results, aim at an object behind the pin, then move towards the pin.

Scan Mode

• This mode is beneficial for measuring distances to multiple targets quickly.
• After selecting Scan Mode, press the Power / Measurement Button once to initiate a 5-second continuous scan, displaying distances to various targets.
• Measurement begins automatically upon pressing the button; no need to hold it down.

Note on Mode Switching: Mode can only be changed when the targeting crosshair is displayed. It is unavailable when the focus square is active. Ensure the focus square is deactivated (by briefly pressing the Power/Measurement button) before changing modes.

Safety Warnings, Care, and Maintenance

Please read the manual guide carefully before using the device.

• Do NOT aim directly at the sun or an eye, as this may cause eyesight loss.
• Do NOT turn the device on while looking into the laser aperture or objective lens.
• Golf Rangefinders may fail to measure distance when the target is viewed through glass.
• Do not leave the device in direct sunlight for extended periods, as it may cause damage.
• Keep the device away from children.
• If any liquid or substance gets on the device, use the provided microfiber cloth to remove it immediately.

If distances cannot be obtained:

• Verify the mode setting (Standard/Scan).
• Ensure no substances (e.g., hands, fingers) are blocking the lens or laser aperture.
• Adjust the focus so the target is clearly visible.
• Measurement may be affected by dark or moving targets, reflective surfaces, small objects, glass transmission, backlighting, or weather conditions (fog, rain, etc.).
