one yard / m eter under most circumstances (see description of “Pr ec i s io n ”
ind icator belo w). The max imum range of the instrument depends on the
r e f l ec t i v i ty of the target. The ma ximum distance for m ost obje ct s is
750 yards / m eters wh ile for highly reflective ob jects the ma ximum is
99 9 yards / meters. Note: You will get both longe r and shorter maximum
dis tan ces depending on the reflective properties of the partic ular target and
the envir onmental conditions at the time the obj ect is being distanced to.

The c olor, surface finish, size and shape of t he target all eff ect re fle c t i v i t y and
rang e. The br igh ter the color, the l ong er the range. Red is highly refl ec t i v e ,
for exa mpl e, an d allows longer ranges tha n the col or black, which is the le ast
r e f l ective color . A sh iny finish provides more ran ge th an a dull one. A smal l
targ et is more difficu lt to range than a larger target. The angle to the ta rget
also has an effect. Shoot ing to a ta rge t at a 90 degree angle (where the target
s u r f ace is perpendicular to the flight path of the emitted en erg y pulses)
provid es good rang e while a steep angle on the other hand , provides limited
ranging . I n addition, lighting condit ions (e.g. th e amount of sunli ght ) wi ll affec t

TROUBLE SHOOTING TABLE

Unit does not turn on - LCD does not illuminate or L CD contrast has decreased:

• Depress fire button (top right hand side of unit).

• Check and if necessary, replace battery.

There is no reset button to clear last range reading before ranging another target:

• The last range reading does not need to be cleared before ranging another target. Simply aim at the new target using the
LCD’s reticle, depress the fire button and hold until new range reading is displayed.

There are black spots in the optical system:

• These are a natural characteristic of the LCD and can not be fully eliminated in the manufacturing process.

Target range cannot be obtained:

• Make sure LCD is illuminated.

• Make sure that the fire button is being depressed (as opposed to mode button).

• 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 fire button.

• A less reflective target will require you to scan its surface to find the most reflective point in order to obtain a distance. To
do this, hold the fire button and scan LCD reticle across the target’s surface to try and register a “hit” on the target quality
meter. When the target quality gauge registers a hit (indicated when the first square illuminates), stabilize the unit in place
and hold the fire button until a range reading is displayed.
