CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR PURCHASE OF THE BUSHNELL® HYBRID™, THE FIRST INTEGRATED LASER/GPS RANGEFINDER DEVICE FOR GOLF!

The Hybrid in a single compact unit, allowing the avid golfer the ability to take full advantage of this dual capability. Knowing the distances for each shot will assist you in lowering your score and enhance your overall golﬁng experience.

This manual will help you get familiar with your new ranging device and get the most out of it by explaining its operation and features, as well as how to care for this precise instrument. To ensure optimal performance and longevity, please read these instructions before using your Bushnell Hybrid.

The time proven Bushnell laser ranging technology that the pros rely on will always give you the most precise, exact distance with one yard accuracy to any object you target.

The GPS satellite receiver with pre-loaded data for 20,000 golf courses will instantly provide distances to the front, back and center of the green as soon as you leave the parking lot-a quick glance at the display and you’re ready to pull the right club out and tee off. It even auto-advances to the next hole as you play.

Bushnell Golf GPS Website

IMPORTANT NOTE – PLEASE READ: Within 45 days of purchase, go to www.bushnell.igolf.com to register your Hybrid, which will update the preloaded GPS course data and load any new courses that have been recently added to the iGolf database. Registration is free and will only take a few minutes. If a unit that has not been registered is powered on 45 days or more after the ﬁrst GPS ﬁx, the GPS section will not function (the laser rangeﬁnder is not affected) and display a prompt to register online (which will restore it to normal operation). For additional information on registering your Hybrid please refer to “Registering and Updating Golf Course Data” on page 20.

combines the individual strengths of laser and GPS ranging technology to deliver “the best of both worlds”

THE HYBRID ADVANTAGE

The time proven Bushnell laser ranging technology that the pros rely on will always give you the most precise, exact distance with one yard accuracy to any object you target.

There are times on the course when you don’t have “line of sight” to the target-maybe you’re hitting out from behind the trees where you just need the front, center, back distances. Or if you’re playing a course that’s “carts on path only” -checking the GPS display can help you select your club in advance and save you a trip back to the cart!

When seasoned pros, amateurs, or collegiate players, play golf, they always want to know the front and back distances to the green, not just the exact distance to the ﬂag. Using the GPS front/center/back data along with the precise distance to the ﬂag will provide the player with the vital information needed to plan their approach strategically, without going long or coming up short. Save strokes and know how far you need to carry the ball to miss that water guarding the green.

The Hybrid’s “Shot Distance” GPS feature makes it extremely easy to gauge how far a drive/approach shot was hit, and the user can set up to four custom points that can be very helpful as a reference on blind tee shots or approaches when returning to play a course.

CHARGING THE BATTERY

The Hybrid contains an internal rechargeable lithium-ion battery. The battery can be charged by connecting the included USB cable between the mini USB port on the device (located on the front of the unit under the rubber cover plug) and your computer’s USB port. Alternatively, the battery can be charged by connecting the USB cable to the device and using the AC adapter included with your model to plug the Hybrid into a standard 110V/220V wall outlet. The battery should be charged for at least six hours before using the device for the ﬁrst time. When fully charged, the display will indicate “BATTERY CHARGING COMPLETED”. Under normal operating conditions, a new battery will last 14-16 hours

on a full charge. However, battery life is diminished due to a variety of factors including temperature and backlight usage. All rechargeable batteries lose their effective charge length over time.

Low Battery Charge Indicator within the Laser Rangeﬁnder Display: If the symbol “ display, this means that the battery charge is getting low and the internal battery should be recharged.

BASIC OPERATION

While looking through the 5x eyepiece, press and release the FIRE button once to activate the in-view Liquid Crystal Display (LCD). Place the aiming circle (located in the center of the image) on a target at least ﬁve yards away. Press the FIRE button again and hold it down until the range reading is displayed near the bottom of the LCD. Crosshairs surrounding the aiming circle indicate that the laser is being transmitted. Once a range has been acquired, you can release the FIRE button. The crosshairs surrounding the aiming circle will disappear once the FIRE button has been released (the laser is no longer being transmitted), but the LCD will remain active and display the last distance measurement for the next 30 seconds. You can depress the FIRE button again at any time to distance to a new target. The maximum time the laser is transmitted (ﬁred) is 10 seconds. To re-ﬁre, press the button down again.

USING THE LASER RANGEFINDER

Your Bushnell® HYBRID™ includes an advanced premium laser rangeﬁnder using Digital Technology, allowing range readings from 5-1000 yards / 4.5-914 meters. Measuring a mere 2.1 x 2.6 x 4.3 inches, this 8.5 ounce unit delivers superb and accurate range performance to +/- one yard. The HYBRID features PinSeeker® Technology, 5x magniﬁcation, and multi-coated optics for excellent light transmission, clarity, and brightness.

HOW OUR DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY WORKS

The Bushnell HYBRID’s laser rangeﬁnder employs an eye safe FDA Class 1 and CE Class 3A laser in its operation. The HYBRID’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

The ranging accuracy of the HYBRID is plus or minus one yard / meter under most circumstances. The maximum range of the instrument depends on the reﬂectivity of the target. The maximum distance for most objects is 600 yards / 549 meters while for highly reﬂective objects the maximum is 1000 yards / 914 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.

The color, surface ﬁnish, size and shape of the target all affect reﬂectivity and range. Brightly colored targets can be ranged at greater distances. Red 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. The 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. In reduced light (e.g. overcast skies) the unit’s maximum range will increase. Conversely, very sunny days will decrease the unit’s maximum range.

MAGNIFICATION AND COATINGS

The HYBRID’s laser rangeﬁnder features 5x magniﬁcation and multi-coated optics. A liquid crystal display (LCD) is mounted within the optical system and when activated, displays a reticle for targeting, and indicators for distance units (Yards/Meters) and PinSeeker operation. Inherent in the manufacturing process are small black spots that appear in the optical system. These are a natural characteristic of the LCD and cannot be fully eliminated in the manufacturing process. They do not affect the distancing performance of the unit.

ADJUSTING THE EYEPIECE

Your HYBRID is constructed with an adjustable eyepiece (+/- 2 diopter range) that allows one to focus the LCD display relative to the image. Simply rotate the eyepiece until the reticle and your ranging target both appear sharp to your eye.

LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY (LCD) INDICATORS

Your HYBRID LCD incorporates illuminated indicators that will let you know the unit of measure for the displayed range, the laser’s active ﬁring status, conﬁrmation when a target has been acquired, and the targeting mode. These LCD indicators function as follows:

UNIT OF MEASURE (display indication=Y or M) The HYBRID can display the ranged distance in yards or meters. The unit of measure indicators are located in the lower

right portion of the LCD. To select your preference for the distance units, start with the HYBRID powered off. While looking through the eyepiece, press and hold the FIRE button down for at least 5 seconds. During this time all liquid crystal segments and icons will be displayed. After approximately 5 seconds elapse, you will see the unit indicators on the display begin to alternate between Yards and Meters. To set it to your preference, simply wait to release the FIRE button when only the “Y” or “M” is visible. The device will always return to your last setting for the ranging units, so it will not be necessary to reset this before each use.

ACTIVE LASER

Crosshairs surrounding the aiming circle indicate that the laser is being transmitted. Once a range has been acquired, you can release the FIRE button. The crosshairs surrounding the circle will disappear once the FIRE button has been released (i.e. the laser is no longer being transmitted).

PinSeeker™

Ever have trouble getting distance to the ﬂag? This advanced feature allows easy acquisition of the ﬂag without inadvertently getting distances to background targets (i.e. trees) that have stronger signal strength. Simply align the aiming circle reticle onto the ﬂag that you want distance to. Next, press and hold the FIRE button and move the laser slowly over the ﬂag or desired object until a circle surrounds the ﬂag indicator. If the laser beam recognized more than one object (i.e. ﬂag and background trees), distance of the ﬂag will be displayed and a circle will surround the PinSeeker indicator informing the user that distance to the ﬂag (i.e. closer object) is being displayed in the LCD (as seen below). There 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, a circle will not surround the ﬂag indicator.

TIP: While pressing the FIRE button, you can move the device slowly from object

to object and intentionally force the laser to hit multiple objects to verify that you are only displaying the closest of the objects recognized by the laser.

Passé ce délai de 45 jours, si vous n’avez toujours pas enregistré votre appareil, le mode GPS ne sera plus fonctionnel (seule la mesure laser fonctionnera) et l’écran du GPS afﬁchera un message vous invitant à vous enregistrer en ligne. Une fois enregistré, l’appareil fonctionnera de nouveau normalement. Pour plus d’informations sur l’enregistrement de votre Hybrid, merci de vous référer au paragraphe « Enregistrement et mise à jour des données de parcours de golf », en page 44 de cette notice.

L’AVANTAGE « HYBRID »

Sur le parcours, il arrive parfois que votre cible ne soit pas directement visible – lorsque des arbres se trouvent devant vous et que vous devez frapper la balle. Dans une telle situation, tout ce dont vous avez besoin sont les distances jusqu’à l’entrée, au milieu et à la sortie du green. Ou, si vous jouez sur un parcours où les voiturettes peuvent être conduites uniquement sur un chemin et non sur la pelouse, l’appareil GPS peut vous aider à sélectionner le bon club en avance et vous éviter de devoir retourner à la voiturette !

Lorsque les professionnels expérimentés, les amateurs ou les joueurs collégiaux jouent au golf, ils souhaitent toujours connaître les distances jusqu’à l’entrée, le milieu et la sortie du green, et pas seulement la distance exacte jusqu’au drapeau. Grâce aux données fournies par le GPS (distances précises entrée/milieu/sortie de green) et grâce à la distance précise jusqu’au drapeau fournie par le télémètre laser, les joueurs détiennent toutes les informations nécessaires pour planiﬁer stratégiquement leur approche, sans que leur coup soit trop long ou trop court. Terminez les trous en un nombre de coups réduit et prenez conscience de la portée à laquelle votre balle doit être lancée aﬁn d’éviter les points d’eau qui vous guettent !

La fonction « Shot Distance » (Distance du coup) du GPS vous permet d’évaluer la distance à laquelle une approche ou un drive a été joué. L’utilisateur peut créer jusqu’à quatre points personnalisés qui sauront se révéler très utiles. En répertoriant de tels points de référence dans l’appareil, vous aurez la possibilité de savoir dans quelle direction frapper la balle la prochaine fois que vous jouerez sur ce même parcours, si jamais la visibilité était réduite.

CHARGEMENT DE LA BATTERIE

L’Hybrid est équipé d’une batterie au lithium-ion rechargeable. Celle-ci peut être rechargée en connectant le mini port USB de l’appareil (situé sur le devant de celui-ci, sous un cache en caoutchouc) au port USB de votre ordinateur, au

moyen du câble USB fourni avec le produit. Une autre solution pour recharger la batterie consiste à connecter le câble USB à l’appareil et d’utiliser un adaptateur secteur (inclus avec le produit) pour brancher l’Hybrid à une prise murale standard de 110 V/220 V. La batterie doit être rechargée pendant au moins six heures avant que l’appareil ne soit utilisé pour la première fois. Lorsque le télémètre est entièrement rechargé, la mention « BATTERY CHARGING COMPLETED » (le chargement de la batterie est terminé) s’afﬁchera alors à l’écran. Dans des conditions de fonctionnement normales, une batterie neuve dure 14 à 16 heures à pleine charge. Cependant, l’autonomie de la batterie diminue à cause d’une variété de facteurs, tels que la température et l’utilisation du rétroéclairage. Toutes les batteries rechargeables perdent leur charge effective avec le temps.

L’indicateur de batterie faible à partir de l’écran du télémètre laser : Si le symbole “ ” apparaît à l’écran du télémètre laser, cela signiﬁe que le niveau de la batterie devient faible et que cette dernière devrait être rechargée.

FONCTIONNEMENT DE BASE

Tout en regardant dans l’oculaire à grossissement de 5x, appuyez une fois sur le déclencheur pour activer l’afﬁchage à cristaux liquides (LCD). Placez le réticule de visée (situé au centre de l’image) sur la cible, à une distance d’au moins 4,5 m (5 yd). Appuyez sur le déclencheur de nouveau et maintenez-le enfoncé jusqu’à ce que l’évaluation de la distance s’afﬁche en bas de l’écran LCD. Les ﬁls croisés autour du réticule de visée indiquent que le laser est en cours de transmission. Une fois que la mesure de la distance a été acquise, vous pouvez relâcher le déclencheur.
