INTRODUCTION
Your Tour V3 is Bushnell’s newest addition to an award winning line of golf laser rangefinders specifically made for golfers. Tour
V3 features PinSeeker™ technology with JOLT™, allowing the golfer to easily and quickly “zero” in on the flag without acquiring
background targets. The Tour V3 weighs a mere 6.6 ounces and made to fit into the palm of your hand. Tour V3 also features
an adjustable eyepiece, 5X magnification, and is capable of providing distance from 5 to 1000 yards with incredible one yard
accuracy! Like other Bushnell laser rangefinders, the Tour V3 is not dependent upon reflectors, and will provide distance to trees,
bunkers, and virtually any object on any golf course in the world.

HOW OUR DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY WORKS
The TOUR V3 WITH PINSEEKER emits invisible, eye safe, infrared energy pulses. The TOUR V3’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 TOUR V3 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 700 yards/640 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. The brighter the color, the longer the
range. 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. The 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
Remove the battery cap by lifting the battery cap tab and then rotating counter clockwise. Insert a CR-2 3-volt lithium
battery into the compartment positive end first, then replace the battery cap.
NOTE: It is recommended that the battery be replaced at least once every 12 months.
Low Battery Indicator: If “
“ is displayed within the in-view readout, this means “low battery” or battery charge is
getting low and the 3-volt lithium battery should be replaced.

ADJUSTING THE EYEPIECE
Your TOUR V3 is constructed with an adjustable eyepiece (+/- 2 Diopter Adjustment) that allows one to focus the LCD
display relative to the image. Simply rotate the eyepiece until the reticle and object distanced to are both in focus to
your eye.
6
OPERATIONAL SUMMARY
While looking through the 5x eyepiece, depress the POWER/FIRE button once to activate the in-view Liquid Crystal
Display (LCD). Place the aiming circle (located in the center of the field of view) upon a target at least 5 yards away,
depress and hold the POWER/FIRE 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/FIRE button. The crosshairs surrounding the aiming circle will disappear once
the POWER/FIRE button has been released (i.e. the laser is no longer being transmitted). Note: Once activated, the LCD
will remain active and display the last distance measurement for 30 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. The maximum time the laser is transmitted (fired) is 10 seconds. To re-fire, press
the POWER/FIRE button down again.
LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY (LCD) INDICATORS
Your TOUR V3 ’s LCD incorporates illuminated icons or symbols that indicate the selected unit of measure, when the laser
is actively firing, when a target has been acquired, and targeting modes. A summary of these features follows:
MODE and UNIT OF MEASURE OPTIONS
The TOUR V3 can be used to measure distances in yards or meters. The unit of measure indicators are located in the lower
right portion of the LCD. To select between yards and meters, press and hold the POWER/FIRE button. The display will
begin to cycle through the setup options: Yards w/JOLT, Yards, Meters w/JOLT, Meters (for details on the JOLT feature, see “About JOLT”). When the units and JOLT mode you want to use are displayed, release the POWER/FIRE button to
select it. If you are changing from yards to meters, a change in unit of measure will be indicated by the illumination of the
M for meter indicator while the Y for Yard indicator is turned off. If you are changing from meters to yards, the opposite
will occur. The TOUR V3 will return to the last unit of measure setting used each time the unit is turned on.
7
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/FIRE button. The crosshairs surrounding the circle will disappear once the POWER/FIRE
button has been released (i.e. the laser is no longer being transmitted).
PinSeeker (LCD Indicator of the flag without inadvertently getting distances to background targets (i.e. trees) that have stronger signal strength.
Press the POWER/FIRE button to turn the unit on. Next, align the aiming circle
reticle onto the flag that you want distance to. Then, press and hold the POWER/
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 POWER/FIRE 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.
Once the device has shut off, the unit will always default back to the last mode
used.

About JOLT
The new JOLT feature allows you to enable (at your option-see “Unit of Measure Options”) a vibration signal (similar to
setting a cell phone to “vibrate”) that will be felt when the Pinseeker technology indicates the flag has been detected and
the distance to it is displayed in the LCD.
Tour V3 - Slope Edition (LCD Indicator - °
models features a built-in accelerometer-based inclinometer that digitally displays the exact slope angle from -20 to +20
degrees of elevation and is +/- 1.0 degree accurate. The Slope +/-™ Edition models will automatically compute an angle
compensated range based upon distance and slope angle determined by the laser rangefinder and built-in inclinometer.
This data is then combined with internal algorithmic formulas dealing with average club use and ball trajectories. The
angle compensated range provides direction on how to play the shot (i.e. add distance if an incline, subtract distance if
a decline).
How Slope™ Works
Press the POWER/FIRE button to obtain distance to the flag or other objects. Once
the range is acquired, release the POWER/FIRE button. Once you have released the
power button, a degree of angle and compensated range will be displayed beneath
the standard distance as seen below.
In the example on the right, the true distance is 162 yards, slope is +4 degrees, and
the compensated range is 173 yards. The “
playing as 162 yards, “play-as” 173 yards.

The Advantage of Slope Edition
The distance to flag A in the drawing below is 162 yards.
It is also 162 yards to flag B although it is on a slope.
However, if you were to play this hole as 162 yards, the
ball (X) would fall short of the hole/flag because you did
not take slope into account.

Standard with Automatic SCAN: To use the Automatic SCAN feature, simply hold down on the POWER/
FIRE button for approximately 3 seconds and SCAN the rangefinder from object to object while leaving the POWER/
FIRE button depressed. Automatic SCAN will allow the range and display to be continuously updated as multiple objects
are targeted.
OPTICAL DESIGN
Magnification and Coatings
The TOUR V3 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, yards/meters, and Mode indicators. 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.
TRIPOD MOUNT
Molded into the bottom of your TOUR V3 is a threaded tripod mount that will allow you to attach to the following

FÉLICITATIONS POUR VOTRE ACHAT DU TÉLÉMÈTRE BUSHNELL® TOUR V3™ AVEC
TECHNOLOGIE PINSEEKER™ AVEC JOLT™. Le TOUR V2 est un appareil a laser de haute precision conçu
pour offrir plusieurs annees de plaisir. Ce manuel vous aidera a atteindre la performance optimale en vous expliquant
les reglages et caracteristiques ainsi que l’entretien de cet appareil de telemetrie a laser de haute precision. Pour assurer
une performance et une duree de vie optimales, veuillez lire les instructions avant d’utiliser votre TOUR V2.
INTRODUCTION
Le TOUR V3 est la nouvelle addition de Bushnell à sa ligne de télémètres à laser spécialement conçus pour les golfeurs.
Le TOUR V3 met en vedette la technologie PINSEEKER™ avec JOLT™ qui permet aux golfeurs de cibler rapidement et
facilement le drapeau, et non pas les objets en arrière-plan. Conçu pour tenir dans la paume de la main, le TOUR V3
ne pèse que 6,6 oz (187 g). Il met aussi en vedette un oculaire ajustable, un grossissement 5 x et est capable d’offrir
une portée de 5 à 1000 yards (5 à 914 mètres) avec une précision incroyable de 1 yard (1 mètre)! Différent des autres
télémètres au laser Bushnell, le TOUR V3 ne dépend pas des réflecteurs et offre une distance à partir des arbres, des
abris en fait de n’importe quel objet sur le parcours, sur n’importe quel terrain de golf au monde.
Le TOUR V3 avec PINSEEKER émet des impulsions d’énergie infrarouge invisibles et sans risque pour les yeux. Son
microprocesseur numérique avancé et la puce CIAS (Circuits intégrés à application spécifique) du TOUR V3 avec
18
PINSEEKER produisent chaque fois des relevés de distances précises et instantanées. La technogénie numérique
sophistiquée calcule instantanément les distances en mesurant le temps requis par le parcours aller-retour de chaque
impulsion du télémètre à la cible.
PRÉCISION DE L’ÉVALUATION DES DISTANCES
La précision de l’évaluation des distances du TOUR V3 est de +/- 1 yard/mètre dans la pluspart des cas. La distance
maximale du télémètre dépend de la réflectivité de la cible. La distance maximale pour la majorité des objets est de
700 yards/640 mètres alors que le maximum pour les objets à haute réflectivité est de 1000 yards/914 mètres. Note:
Vous obtiendrez les distances maximales et minimales selon les propriétés réfléchissantes d’une cible particulière et les
conditions environnementales au moment de la mesure de la distance d’une cible.
La couleur, le fini de la surface, la dimension et la forme de la cible affectent la réflectivité et la plage de
mesure. Plus la couleur est vive, plus la plage est longue. Par exemple, le rouge a une grande reflectivité
et permet une plus grande distance que le noir, la couleur ayant le moins de réflectivité. Un fini brillant
permet une plage plus longue qu’un fini mât. L’évaluation de la distance d’une cible de petite taille est
plus difficile que celle d’une grande taille. L’angle de la cible a également un effet. Viser une cible avec
un angle de 90 degrés (alors que la surface de la cible est perpendiculaire à la trajectoire émise par les
amplitudes d’impulsion) offre une distance maximale tandis qu’une pente raide offre une distance limitée.
De plus, les conditions d’éclairage (p. ex. le niveau d’ensoleillement) affectera les capacités de distance
de l’appareil. Moins d’ensoleillement (par ex.: journée nuageuse) permet de maximiser l’évaluation de
la distance de l’appareil. De manière générale, les journées très ensoleillées diminuent l’évaluation de la
distance maximale de l’appareil.
MISE EN PLACE DE LA PILE
Enlevez le cache de la pile en soulevant l’ergot du couvercle puis en le tournant dans le sens inverse des aiguilles d’une
montre. Insérez une pile au lithium de CR-2 de 3 volts dans le compartiment en introduisant d’abord la borne positive,
puis refermez le cache.
19
REMARQUE: Il est recommandé de remplacer la pile au moins une fois par an.
Indicateur de batterie faible: Si ““est affiché lors de l’affichage, ceci indique que la charge de la pile
est faible et qu’elle doit être remplacée.

RÉGLAGE DE L’OCULAIRE
Votre TOUR V3 est muni d’un oculaire de ajustable (réglage dioptrique +/- 2) qui permet d’effectuer la mise au point
de l’afficheir ACL par rapport à l’image. Tournez simplement l’oculaire jusqu’à ce que la réticule et l’objet à distance
soit allignée à votre œil.
20
MODE D’EMPLOI EN BREF
Tout en regardant dans l’oculaire de grossissement 5 x, appuyez une fois sur le bouton POWER/FIRE afin d’activer
l’afficheur à cristaux liquides (ACL). Positionnez le cercle de visée (situé au centre du champ de vision) sur une cible à
une distance minimal de 5 verges (4,6 m), appuyez sur le bouton POWER/FIRE et maintenez enfoncé jusqu’à ce que la
lecture de la distance soit affichée près du bas de l’afficheur intégré. Les réticules à proximité du cercle de visée indiquent
que le laser est en cours de transmission. Une fois qu’une distance a été acquise, vous pouvez relâchez le bouton. Les
réticules entourant le cercle de visée disparaitront lorsque le bouton POWER/FIRE aura été relâché (ce qui veut dire que
le laser n’est plus en cours de transmission). Note: Une fois activé, l’écran ACL demeure actif et affiche le dernier relevé
de distance pendant 30 secondes. Vous n’avez qu’à enfoncer de nouveau le bouton POWER/FIRE afin de viser une
autre cible. Comme avec tout dispositif laser, il est déconseiller d’observer longuement et directement les émissions avec
des lentilles grossissante, pendant une période prolongée. La durée maximale pendant laquelle le rayonnement laser
est transmis est de 10 secondes. Pour transmettre le laser à nouveau, appuyez sur le bouton encore une fois.
INDICATEURS DE L’AFFICHEUR À CRISTAUX LIQUIDES (ACL)
L’écran ACL de votre TOUR V3 est doté d’icônes et de symboles lumineux indiquant l’unité de mesure sélectionnée,
l’émission effective du rayonnement laser, l’acquisition de la distance de la cible et les différents modes de ciblage. Voir
le résumé des caractéristiques ci-dessous:
OPTIONS MODE et UNITÉS DE MESURE
Le TOUR V3 peut mesurer les distances en yards ou en mètres. Les indicateurs d’unités de mesure se situent dans la
portion inférieure droite de l’afficheur ACL. Pour sélectionner les yards ou les mètres, appuyez et maintenez enfoncé
le bouton POWER/FIRE. L’écran affichera successivement les différentes options : yards avec JOLT, yards, mètres avec
JOLT, mètres (pour plus de détails sur l’option JOLT, voir la section « À propos de JOLT »). Si vous passez de yards à
mètres, l’indicateur M (pour mètres) s’illuminera tandis que le Y (pour yards) s’éteindra. Si vous de mètres à yards, c’est
l’inverse qui se produit. Le TOUR V3 revient au dernier réglage utilisé chaque fois qu’il est remis en marche.
21
LASER ACTIF
Les réticules à proximité du cercle de visée indiquent que le laser est en cours de transmission. Une fois qu’une distance
a été acquise, vous pouvez relâchez le bouton. Les réticules entourant le cercle de visée disparaissent une fois que le
bouton POWER/FIRE a été relâché (c’est-à-dire que le rayonnement laser n’est plus en cours).
PinSeeker (indicateur d’affichage perfectionné permet une acquisition facile jusqu’au drapeau sans obtenir par erreur la distance d’autres cibles d’arrièreplan (tels que les arbres) qui ont un signal plus fort.
Appuyez sur le bouton POWER/FIRE pour allumer l’unité. Ensuite, aligner les réticules
du cercle de visée sur le drapeau dont vous voulez connaître la distance. Puis pressez
et maintenanez le bouton POWER/FIRE puis déplacez doucement le laser jusqu’au
drapeau ou l’objet désiré jusqu’à ce que le cercle entoure l’indicateur du drapeau.
Si le rayonnement laser reconnait plus d’un objet (p. ex. le drapeau et les arbres en
arrière-plan) la distance du drapeau sera affichée et un cercle entourera l’indicateur
PinSeeker, informant l’utilisateur que la distance du drapeau est affichée sur l’afficheur
ACL (comme ci-dessous). Parfois, le rayonnement laser ne voit qu’un seul objet sur sa
trajectoire. Las distance est alors affichée, mais comme plusieurs objets n’ont pas été
détectés, l’indicateur du drapeau n’est pas entouré d’un cercle. CONSEIL: Tout en
appuyant sur le bouton POWER/FIRE, vous pouvez déplacer l’instrument lentement
d’un objet à un autre et forcer ainsi le rayonnement laser à toucher plusieurs objets pour
vérifier que la seule distance des objets les plus proches reconnus par le rayonnement
est affichée.
Une fois le dispositif fermé, l’instrument revient par défaut au dernier mode utilisé.
