HOW OUR DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY WORKS
e Fusion™ 1600 ARC™ emits invisible, eye safe, infrared energy pulses. e Fusion 1600 ARC‘s Advanced Digital
microprocessor and ASIC chip (Application-Specific Integrated Circuit) results in instantaneous and accurate
readings every time. Sophisticated digital technology instantaneously calculates distances by measuring the time it
takes for each pulse to travel from the rangefinder, to the target, and back.
RANGING ACCURACY
e ranging accuracy of the Fusion 1600 ARC is plus or minus one yard / meter under most circumstances. e
maximum range of the instrument depends on the reflectivity of the target. e maximum distance for most objects
is 1000 yards / 914 meters while for highly reflective objects the maximum is 1600 yards / 1463 meters. Note: You
will get both longer and shorter maximum distances depending on the reflective properties of the particular target and
the environmental conditions at the time the distance of an object is being measured.
e color, surface finish, size and shape of the target all affect reflectivity and range. e brighter the color, the longer
the range. White is highly reflective, for example, and allows longer ranges than the color black, which is the least
reflective color. A shiny finish provides more range than a dull one. A small target is more difficult to range than a
larger target. e angle to the target also has an effect. Shooting to a target at a 90 degree angle (where the target
surface is perpendicular to the flight path of the emitted energy pulses) provides good range while a steep angle on
the other hand, provides limited ranging. In addition, lighting conditions (e.g. the amount of sunlight) will affect
the ranging capabilities of the unit. e less light (e.g. overcast skies) the farther the unit’s maximum range will be.
Conversely, very sunny days will decrease the unit’s maximum range.

GETTING STARTED
INSERTING THE BATTERY
e battery compartment is located between the objective barrels. Simply remove the battery cap by rotating it
counter clockwise and insert a CR-123 3-volt lithium battery into the compartment negative end first, then replace
the battery cap.
NOTE: It is recommended that the battery be replaced at least once every 6 months.
SETTING THE DISPLAY FOCUS AND DIOPTER ADJUSTMENT
Before you begin using your laser rangefinder binoculars, a few simple, one-time adjustments should be made to
ensure that you can get sharp focus of objects by just using the main focus knob on the binoculars. is process will
compensate for any variations in the eyesight or vision of the individual user:
1. Leave the rubber eyecups in their “up” position if you are not wearing glasses, or twist them down if you are.
Grasp the left and right sides of the binocular, and pull them apart or push them together while looking
through the binocular to adjust the eyepiece spacing until your view is a single circular image.
2. While looking through the binoculars, press the power button to turn on the display. Look through just the
right side of the binocular-you will see a red aiming circle in the center. Point the binocular at a plain
background.
3. Rotate the display focus (right eyecup) until the circular reticle appears as sharp as possible to your right eye.
is compensates for any difference between your vision and the correct focus for the laser.
4. Next, continuing to look through the right side only, aim at a distant object (preferably one containing fine
detail such as a tree or sign), and adjust the binocular’s center focusing knob until it appears as sharp as
possible to your right eye.
6
5. Finally, view the same object through only the left side of the binocular, and rotate the diopter adjustment
(left eyecup) until it appears sharp to your left eye (do not touch the center focus knob while doing this).
is compensates for any vision differences between your left and right eyes.
Once set, note the number on the left and right binocular tubes that the index mark on each eyecup is lined up with.
With the display focus and diopter adjustment set to these positions, you should be able to obtain sharp viewing of
objects at any distance by simply adjusting the center focus knob while you look through the binocular. ere is no
need to re-adjust the display focus or diopter adjustment, unless you share the binocular with another user, or if your
eyes become tired over a long period of use.
OPERATIONAL SUMMARY
While looking through the binocular, depress the power button once to activate the Vivid Display. Place the aiming
circle (located in the center of the field of view) upon a target at least 10 yards away, depress and hold the power
button down until the range reading is displayed near the bottom of the in-view display. Crosshairs surrounding the
aiming circle indicate that the laser is being transmitted. Once a range has been acquired, you can release the power
button. e crosshairs surrounding the aiming circle will disappear once the power button has been released (i.e. the
laser is no longer being transmitted). Note: Once activated, the display will remain active and display the last distance
measurement for 3 seconds. You can depress the power button again at any time to distance to a new target. As with
any laser device, it is not recommended to directly view the emissions for long periods of time with magnified lenses.
e maximum time the laser is transmitted (fired) is 10 seconds. To re-fire, press the button down again.

ANGLE RANGE COMPENSATION
e Fusion 1600 ARC is an advanced premium laser rangefinder binocular featuring a built-in accelerometer-based
inclinometer that digitally displays the exact angle from -90 to +90 degrees of elevation and is +/- 1.0 degree accurate.
e Bushnell® Fusion 1600 ARC™ solves a problem hunters have been faced with for years. e problem: Bow and
rifle hunters have struggled with extreme uphill and downhill angles because of how these angles alter true horizontal
distance to your target. e Solution: ARC’s integrated inclinometer provides elevation angle to allow for distance
compensation when targeting objects that are either uphill or downhill. is data is then combined with internal
algorithmic ballistic formulas.
ARC (ANGLE RANGE COMPENSATION) MODES
Bow Mode ( ): Displays line of sight distance, degree of elevation, and true horizontal distance from 10-99 yards /
meters and a maximum inclination of +/- 90°.
Rifle Mode ( ): Calculates and displays the amount of bullet drop, at the target in inches, centimeters or
MOA. e amount of bullet drop is determined by the line of sight distance to the target, degree of elevation,
along with the specific ballistic characteristics of the caliber and ammunition load. When you range your target,
the line of sight, degree of elevation, and bullet-drop/holdover in inches, centimeters, or MOA will be displayed
from 100 to 800 yards/meters with a maximum inclination of +/- 90°. One of eight ballistic groups (identified as
A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H) for center fire rifles and two ballistic groups (Identified as I and J) for Black Powder /
Muzzleloaders can be selected by the user, with each formula representing a given combination of caliber and loads.
e ballistic groups are selected by the user in the SET-UP menu.
Regular Mode ( ): is mode does not provide any degree of elevation or compensated distance, but instead,
line of sight distance only.

UNIT OF MEASURE OPTIONS
e Fusion 1600 ARC can be used to measure distances in yards or meters. e unit of measure indicators are located
in the lower right portion of the LCD.
ACTIVE LASER
Crosshairs surrounding the aiming circle indicate that the laser is being transmitted. Once a range has been acquired,
you can release the power button. e crosshairs surrounding the circle will disappear once the power button has been
released (i.e. the laser is no longer being transmitted).
SELECTIVE TARGETING™ MODES
e Fusion 1600 ARC was especially designed with hunters in mind. e selective targeting modes allow you to
adjust the performance parameters of the unit to suit your specific situation and environment. To move from one
mode to another, press the POWER button once to turn on the unit. While looking through the eyepiece, press the
MODE button and quickly release. e different targeting modes available and mode indicators are listed below:
Standard with Automatic SCAN (LCD Indicator – none) is setting allows most targets to be distanced up to 1600
yards. Used for moderately reflective targets that are typical of most distancing situations. e minimum distance in
10
the standard mode is 10 yards. To use the Automatic SCAN feature, simply hold down on the POWER button for
approximately 3 seconds and move the rangefinder from object to object while leaving the POWER button depressed.
Automatic SCAN will allow the range to be continuously updated as multiple objects are targeted.
BullsEye™ (LCD Indicator - ) is advanced mode allows easy acquisition of small targets and game without
inadvertently getting distances to background targets that have stronger signal strength. When more than one object
has been acquired, distance of the closer object will be displayed and a crosshair will surround the BullsEye™ indicator
informing the user that distance to the closer object is being displayed in the LCD.
Once in this mode, press the POWER button to turn the unit on. Next, align the aiming circle onto the object (i.e.
deer) that you want distance to. Next, press and hold the POWER button and move the laser slowly over the deer
until crosshairs surround the BullsEye indicator. If the laser beam recognized more
than one object (i.e. deer and background trees), distance of the closer object (i.e. deer) will be displayed and
crosshairs will surround the BullsEye indicator informing the user that distance to the closer object is being displayed
in the LCD (Figure 1). ere may be times when only the laser beam only sees one object in its path. In this case,
the distance will be displayed, but because more than one object was not acquired, crosshairs will not surround the
BullsEye indicator.

TIP: While pressing the POWER button, you can move the device slowly from object to object and intentionally
force the laser to hit multiple objects to ensure that you are only displaying the closest of the objects recognized by
the laser.
Brush™ (LCD Indicator - ) is advanced mode allows objects such as brush and tree branches to be ignored so
that distance only to background objects are displayed. When more than one object has been acquired, distance of
the further object will be displayed and a circle will surround the Brush™ indicator informing the user that distance
of the farthest object is being displayed in the LCD.
Once in this mode, press the POWER button to turn the unit on. Next, align the aiming circle onto the object that
you want distance to. Next, press and hold the POWER button and move the laser slowly over the object until a circle
surrounds the Brush indicator. If the laser beam recognized more than one object (i.e. close-up tree branch and a deer
in the background), distance of the further object (i.e. deer) will be displayed and a circle will surround the brush
indicator informing the user that distance to the farther object is being displayed (Figure 2). ere may be times when
only the laser beam only sees one object in its path. In this case, the distance will be displayed, but because more than
one object was not acquired, the circle will not surround the Brush indicator.

TIP: While pressing the POWER button, you can move the device slowly from object to object and intentionally
force the laser to hit multiple objects to ensure that you are only displaying the furthest of the objects recognized by
the laser.
Once the device has shut off, the unit will always default back to the last targeting mode used.

DISPLAY BRIGHTNESS
Vivid Display Technology™ dramatically improves contrast, clarity and light transmission while increasing brightness
of the digital readout, making distance readings legible in low light environments.
ere are four intensity settings to choose from and this is the first setting within the SETUP menu. Press the MODE
button for 3 seconds to get into the SETUP menu. e existing brightness setting will be flashing (i.e. 1, 2,
3, or ), pressing the MODE button will toggle between the four brightness settings. “ 1” is the lowest
intensity while “ ” is the brightest.
Simply press the MODE button until the desired brightness setting is displayed and select by pressing and releasing
the POWER button.
ere are two ARC (Angle Range Compensation) modes and one REGULAR mode. e two ARC modes are BOW
mode and RIFLE mode.
13
To select between these modes, first turn the unit “ON” by pressing and releasing the POWER button. Next, press
and hold the MODE button for three seconds to get into the SETUP menu. e brightness is displayed first and
can be changed by pressing the MODE button or accepted by pressing the POWER button. en press the power
button until you see the existing compensation mode indicated by either the “Bow” symbol ( ), the “Rifle” symbol
( ) lit with one of the ballistic groups (A thru J) displayed and flashing, or no indicators lit and the message
( ) flashing.
e modes can be cycled through in a circular fashion by pressing and releasing the mode button. e order of modes
is a follows: BOW, RIFLE A, RIFLE B, RIFLE C, RIFLE D, RIFLE E, RIFLE F, RIFLE G, RIFLE H, RIFLE I,
RIFLE J, REG, etc. When the bow selection is displayed, the “BOW” icon will flash and when a “RIFLE: selection
is displayed, the “RIFLE” icon and ballistic group will be flashing. When the ( ) is displayed, the message ( )
will flash within the display.
Once the desired distance compensation mode is displayed, select it by pressing and releasing the POWER button.
Following this selection, the current unit of measure, “Y” for yards or “M” for meters will flash in the display and the
SETUP icon is still lit. Pressing the MODE button will toggle the unit of measure. When the desired unit of measure
is displayed, press the POWER button to accept the unit of measure.
If the user chooses RIFLE mode, and after having determined unit of measure, the user has the following options:
1. Variable Sight-In (VSI™) - Allows the rifle hunter to choose from four sight-in distances (100, 150, 200, or
300 yards or meters) and provides holdover / bullet-drop data in inches, centimeters or MOA. e “SD” (Sight-In
Distance) indicator will turn on and the current Sight-In Distance number will blink within the display (I.e. 100,
150, 200, or 300). e Sight-In Distance options can be cycled through in a circular fashion by pressing and releasing
the mode button. Once the desired Sight-In Distance is displayed, select it by pressing and releasing the power button.
14
2. And finally, if RIFLE mode was chosen, and as long as unit of measure and a sight-in distance was selected, you
have the option of determining how you would like hold-over / bullet-drop displayed. If measurement units are in
yards, you will be able to choose between inches, or MOA. e “CM” for centimeters or “IN” for inches will flash
in the display and the SETUP icon is still lit. Once the desired ballistic measure is displayed, select it by pressing and
releasing the power button. If units of measure selected previously was Meters, then your hold-over / bullet-drop will
automatically be displayed in centimeters.
Upon returning to the normal operating menu, the current compensation mode and unit of measure will be identified
in the display as indicated below.
SETUP menu Normal Operating Menu
15
When the unit automatically powers down, operation will always return to the normal operation (i.e. away from
SETUP) with the last used ARC mode active (i.e. BOW, RIFLE, or REGULAR) along with the last used TARGETING
modes active (Standard SCAN, BULLSEYE, or BRUSH). If the unit turns off while in the SETUP menu, the unit will
always return to the last mode(s) still active.
Once the range is displayed, continue to hold the POWER button down for approximately 2 seconds while holding
the aiming circle on the object and keeping the unit as steady as possible so as to allow the inclinometer enough time
to measure angle. en release the POWER button. Once you have released the power button, the line of sight will be
displayed along with unit of measure. Beneath the line of sight distance and unit of measure, the degree of angle will
be displayed for approximately 1.5 seconds, and will then automatically switch to the compensated range. e line of
sight distance, unit of measure and automatic toggle from degree of angle to compensated distance will continue for 5
seconds at which time the display will automatically shut off.
BOW MODE EXAMPLE
Line of sight is 32 yards, angle is -44 degrees, and the Angle Range Compensated distance is 23 yards. Instead of
shooting as 32 yards, shoot as 23 yards. If you were to shoot as if 32 yards, you would shoot over the top of the deer
because of the severe angle.
Line of Sight = 32Y
Degree of Angle = -44°
16
Line of Sight = 32Y
Compensated Distance = 23Y
If in BOW mode, the line of sight distance will display in the primary numeric display and the inclination and
horizontal distance will display in the secondary numeric displays. Bushnell determined through extensive testing and
interviews with high-profile bow hunting experts that multiple bow ballistic groups were not necessary. Bow-hunters
want to know true horizontal distance because that is how they practice shooting, and once they confidently know
that, they can make any necessary adjustments. Giving the bow-hunter anything else other than horizontal distance
creates additional confusion and uncertainty.
Many people mistakenly believe that uphill shots perform differently from downhill shots because of gravity. However,
it is not due to gravity, but more of an aberration of the sighting system used on bows. e sighting pin on a bow
resides several inches above the mechanical axis of the arrow. For example, when one is aiming 23 degrees up an incline,
the arrow is at a different angle.
RIFLE MODE EXAMPLE
Line of sight is 376 yards, angle is -33 degrees, and the bullet-drop/holdover is 28 inches. ARC not only takes into
account ballistic data based off your caliber and load from distances of 100-800 yards, but also compensates for any
uphill and downhill angles which also affect bullet-drop.
Line of Sight = 376 Yards
Degree of Angle = -33°
Line of Sight = 376 Yards
Holdover/Bulletdrop =
28 Inches
17
If in RIFLE mode, the ballistic group will be displayed in the bullet drop numeric field anytime that the primary
numeric display is showing dashes (i.e. no target acquired). When a target is acquired in RIFLE mode, the line of sight
distance will display in the secondary numeric displays. e “IN” icon (i.e. inches) will light next to the bullet drop
numeric display, if the unit of measure is set to Yards (Y). If the unit of measure is set to Meters (M), the bullet drop
will be calculated and displayed in centimeters and the “IN” icon will be turned off. If the bullet drop / hold over reads
“ ,” this means the compensated distance is beyond what can be displayed, and or beyond ballistic calculations and
user will need to hold low.
REGULAR MODE
is mode does not provide any degree of elevation or compensated distance, but instead, line of sight distance only.
e will still appear below the line of sight numeric display, but there will not be any information displayed in this
secondary numeric display.
KNOWING WHICH BALLISTIC GROUP TO SELECT
Bushnell engineers have worked with Sierra® Bullets’ ballistic programs and grouped many of the most popular calibers
and loads into eight ballistic groups (A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H). Once you know what caliber and load you are shooting
simply look through the chart to determine which one of the eight ballistic groups match with your particular load
and caliber. For Muzzleloaders, we have worked with PowerBelt Bullets to incorporate ballistic data into two ballistic
groups (I and J).

After you have determined which ballistic group corresponds to your caliber and load, select this ballistic group
(See MENU SETUP above). e internal formula will determine amount of bullet drop/holdover in inches or
centimeters based upon distance, angle, and ballistics of your caliber and load.
is state-of-the-art digital technology allows the hunter or shooter to know precisely where to hold for an effective
shot. is information should be treated as a helpful guide or tool and in no way should it ever replace practice and
familiarity with your rifle, cartridge and load. We encourage practice shooting at different ranges so you know how
your rifle, cartridge and load will perform under various conditions. Always know what is behind your bullet; if you
don’t know, don’t take the shot.
EXAMPLE
You have a 300 WSM and are shooting the following Winchester brand load: 180 gr. Ballistic Silver Tip bullet at 3010
FPS muzzle velocity. is combination falls under Ballistic Group “F”. After setting the rangefinder to ballistic group
“F”, go to the range and sight in your riflescope at 100 yards. If you then take a shot at a target at 317 yds, the bullet
drop will be 9 inches. If the shot is at angle of 27 degrees upward, then the corrected bullet drop will be 8 inches.
WHAT IF YOUR CALIBER IS NOT LISTED?
While we have taken great care to include as many calibers and brand names in our ballistics tables, new loads are
always being developed. In addition, some shooters load their own ammunition with unique ballistic characteristics.
If you cannot find your load in our ballistic tables, you can still use the bullet drop feature of the laser rangefinder. As
above, sight in your rifle at 100 yds. en shoot the rifle, without adjusting the riflescope, at 300 yds. Measure the
bullet drop from the point of aim. Using this drop, select the ballistic group from below. If you will be shooting longer
distances then you may want to check the bullet drop at 500 yds. Because there is enormous variation in rifle barrels,
chambers, and hand loads, you should thoroughly test the ballistic setting before actual hunting. You may need to
move up or down one group depending upon your tests.

TROUBLE SHOOTING TABLE
If unit does not turn on - LCD does not illuminate:
• Depress POWER button.
• Check and if necessary, replace battery.
If unit powers down (display goes blank when attempting to power the laser):
• e battery is either weak or low quality. Replace the battery with a good quality
3 -volt lithium battery (CR-123).
If target range cannot be obtained:
• Make sure Display is illuminated.
• Make sure that the power button is being depressed.
• Make sure that nothing, such as your hand or finger, is blocking the objective lenses (lenses closest to the target) that emit
and receive the laser pulses.
• Make sure unit is held steady while depressing power button.
NOTE: e last range reading does not need to be cleared before ranging another target. Simply aim at the new target using
the display reticle, depress the power button and hold until new range reading is displayed.

Fusion™1600 ARC™ - Jumelles Télémétriques Laser
201042/2010250
Une fusion avancée de nos meilleures technologies.
Le summum de l’efficacité, nos nouvelles Fusion 1600 ARC mêlent ce que les jumelles de Bushnell ont de meilleur et les
meilleures capacités du monde en matière de télémétrie. Chaque détail est agrandi avec un contraste riche et une clarté
remarquable d’un bord à l’autre de l’image grâce aux objectifs de haute qualité entièrement multicouches et aux prismes
BAK4. En appuyant sur un bouton, elles affichent la distance exacte de votre cible de 10 à 1 600 yards / mètres. Grâce
au système intégré de Compensation de Portée Angulaire, le mode TIR À L’ARC fournit la ligne de vue, l’angle et la
distance horizontale réelle, et le mode FUSIL fournit la ligne de vue, l’angle, et les données de chute de la balle / report.
Grâce au système Vivid Display Technology™ (technologie d’affichage lumineux), au revêtement antibuée RainGuard®
HD, et conçues pour résister aux intempéries et pour assurer la fiabilité et la clarté dans toutes les conditions, c’est la
meilleure sur terre.
Ce manuel vous aidera à obtenir des résultats optimaux en vous expliquant les différents réglages et fonctions ainsi que
l’entretien de l’appareil. Pour assurer une performance et une longévité optimales, veuillez lire ces instructions avant
d’utiliser votre télémètre laser Fusion 1600 ARC™.

FONCTIONNEMENT DE NOTRE TECHNOLOGIE NUMÉRIQUE
Le télémètre Fusion™ 1600 ARC™ émet des impulsions d’énergie infrarouge invisibles, sans danger pour les yeux.
Le microprocesseur numérique de pointe et la puce ASIC (Application-Specific Integrated Circuit - circuit intégré
d’application spécifique) des jumelles Fusion 1600 ARC permettent à chaque utilisation des relevés de distance instantanés
et précis. La technologie numérique sophistiquée permet de calculer les distances instantanément en mesurant le temps
nécessaire à chaque pulsion pour aller du télémètre à la cible et revenir.
PRÉCISION DE L’ÉVALUATION DES DISTANCES
La précision de l’évaluation des distances des jumelles Fusion 1600 ARC est de plus ou moins un yard / un mètre dans la
plupart des cas. La plage d’évaluation maximum de l’appareil dépend de la réflectivité de la cible. La distance maximum
pour la plupart des objets est de 1 000 yards / 914 mètres, alors que pour les objets très réfléchissants elle peut atteindre
1 600 yards / 1 463 mètres. Remarque : Vous obtiendrez à la fois des distances maximales plus longues et plus courtes
selon les propriétés de réflectivité d’une cible particulière et les conditions environnementales au moment de la mesure
de distance d’un objet.
La couleur, le fini de surface, la taille et la forme de la cible affectent la réflectivité et la portée. Plus la couleur est vive, plus
longue est la plage de mesure. Le blanc est très réfléchissant, par exemple, et permet des plages de mesure plus longues
que la couleur noire, qui est la couleur la moins réfléchissante. Un fini brillant permet une plage de mesure plus longue
qu’un fini mat. Une cible de petite taille est plus difficile à évaluer qu’une plus grande cible. L’angle de la cible a également
un effet. Viser une cible à un angle de 90 degrés (lorsque la surface de la cible est perpendiculaire au trajet des pulsions
d’énergie émises) permet une longue plage de mesure alors que viser une cible à angle aigu, réduit la mesure. De plus, les
conditions d’éclairage (quantité de lumière solaire) affecteront également les capacités de mesure de l’appareil. Moins il y
a de lumière (par ex. ciel couvert) plus la plage de mesure maximale s’allonge. Inversement, les journées très ensoleillées
réduiront la a plage de mesure de l’appareil.

POUR COMMENCER
MISE EN PLACE DE LA PILE
Le compartiment de la pile se trouve entre les deux corps des objectifs. Enlevez simplement le couvercle de la pile en le
faisant tourner dans le sens contraire des aiguilles d’une montre et insérez une pile au lithium CR-123 de 3 volts dans le
compartiment, le pôle négatif en premier, puis remettez en place le couvercle de la pile.
REMARQUE : Il est recommandé de remplacer la pile au moins une fois tous les 6 mois.
RÉGLAGE DE LA NETTETÉ DE L’AFFICHAGE ET DU RÉGLAGE DE LA DIOPTRIE
Avant de commencer à utiliser vos jumelles télémétriques laser, un simple réglage unique devra être effectué pour assurer
d’obtenir une mise au point précise sur les objets en utilisant simplement la molette de réglage de la netteté principal
des jumelles. Ce processus compensera toutes les différences de vue qui pourrait exister entre les utilisateurs individuels.
1. Laissez-les œilletons en caoutchouc en position « haute » si vous ne portez pas de lunettes, ou tournez-les vers
le bas si vous en portez. Saisissez la partie gauche et la partie droite des jumelles et tirez-les vers l’extérieur ou
poussez-les vers l’intérieur tandis que vous regardez dans les jumelles pour régler l’écartement de chaque œilleton
jusqu’à ce que vous voyiez une image circulaire unique.
2. Tout en regardant dans les jumelles, appuyez sur le bouton marche pour allumer l’affichage. Regardez dans la parte
droite des jumelles uniquement - vous verrez un cercle de visée rouge au milieu. Pointez les jumelles en direction
d’un arrière-plan neutre.
3. Tournez le réglage de la netteté de l’affichage (œilleton droit) jusqu’à ce que le réticule circulaire apparaisse aussi
net que possible pour votre œil droit. Ceci compense toutes les différences entre votre vue et la mise au point
correcte du laser.
4. Puis, tout en continuant à regarder dans le côté droit uniquement, visez un objet distant (de préférence un objet
