FEATURES

The YARDAGE PRO TOUR’s sophisticated digital technology allows you to select between various
units of measure and targeting modes. In addition, your YARDAGE PRO TOUR’s LCD incorporates
illuminated indicators that advise you when the laser is active and when the battery charge is low.
A summary of these features is presented below:

UNIT OF MEASURE OPTIONS The YARDAGE PRO TOUR can be used to measure distances in

yards or meters. The unit of measure indicators are located in the upper right portion of the LCD.
To select between yards and meters, look through the monocular, depress the "mode" button (left
side of the unit underneath the BUSHNELL YARDAGE PRO logo) and hold it down for approximately
2 seconds. If you are changing from yards to meters, a change in unit of measure will be indicated
by the illumination of the letter M for METER indicator while the YD for YARD indicator is turned
off. If you are changing from meters to yards, the opposite will occur. Note: The YARDAGE PRO
TOUR will return to the last setting used, each time the unit is turned on.

TARGETING MODES The YARDAGE PRO TOUR incorporates exclusive targeting modes that

allow you to adjust the performance parameters of the unit to suit your specific situation and
environment. The different targeting modes available are listed below:

INTRODUCTION

Your Bushnell YARDAGE PRO TOUR is the worlds smallest and most advanced laser
rangefinder made exclusively for golf. Using Digital Technology and measuring a mere

1.5x4x2.75 inches and weighing 6.8 ounces, the YARDAGE PRO TOUR delivers superb
and accurate range performance to +/- one yard to virtually any object found on a golf
course. The BUSHNELL YARDAGE PRO TOUR DOES NOT require the use of reflectors.
Range to a golf flag as far as 225 yards out or to a tree or bunker 570 yards away for a
reference point. With YARDAGE PRO TOUR, you can determine club selection, save
strokes, and build confidence. The unique shape and palm size allows outdoors
enthusiast to easily grip with a single hand. When not using, place it in the convenient
carrying case and clip to your golf bag. The rugged and weather resistant Yardage Pro
Tour features popular Scan mode providing continuous distance measurements as
multiple targets in the field of view are scanned.

The YARDAGE PRO TOUR emits invisible, eyesafe, infrared energy pulses.
Sophisticated digital technology and a high-speed clock are used to instantaneously
calculate distances, by measuring the time it takes for each pulse to travel from the
rangefinder, to the target, and back.

The ranging accuracy of the YARDAGE PRO TOUR 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 570 yards / 521
meters while for highly reflective objects the maximum is 700 yards / 640 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
object is being distanced to.

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. Ranging through a glass window is not possible in most
circumstances due to the reflection caused by glass.

OPERATIONAL SUMMARY

While looking through the monocular, depress the power
button once to activate the inview display system (LCD).
Aim the YARDAGE PRO TOUR at a target at least 10
yards away, depress and hold the power button down
until range reading is displayed. Release the power
button. Your Yardage Pro TOUR features an adjustable
eyepiece. Simply rotate the monocular until the reticle and
object distanced to are in focus to your eye. Note: Once
activated, the YARDAGE PRO TOUR’s LCD will remain active and display the last
distance measurement for 6 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.

Standard (LCD Indicator - none) This setting allows most targets to be distanced up to 570 yards.

Used for moderately reflective targets that are typical of most distancing situations. The minimum
distance in the standard mode is 10 yards.

SCAN (LCD Indicator - "SCAN") When the Power button is held down longer than 3 seconds, the

unit transitions to SCAN mode. This mode allows the range to be continuously updated as long as
the Power button remains depressed. The word "SCAN" will blink and appear in the left side of the
LCD once this mode is activated.

ILLUMINATING INDICATORS Low Battery Charge (LCD Indicator - ) When both dashes

inside the battery symbol are displayed, the battery is fully charged. When the dashes start to fade
away, it means the battery charge is getting low and the 3-volt lithium battery should be replaced.

ROLL DOWN EYECUP The YARDAGE PRO TOUR’s monocular is equipped with a rubber eyecup

designed for your comfort and to exclude extraneous external light. If you wear sun / eyeglasses,
roll down the eyecup. This will bring your eye closer to the ocular lens, thus providing improved

field of view.

SPECIFICATIONS

OPTICAL DESIGN A liquid crystal display (LCD) is mounted within the optical system and when

activated, displays a reticle for targeting, yard / meter and mode designations, and low battery
indicators. Inherent in the manufacturing process are small black spots that appear in the optical
system. These are a natural characteristic of the LCD, cannot be fully eliminated in the
manufacturing process and do not affect the distancing performance of the unit.

CLEANING

Gently blow away any dust or debris on the lenses (or use a soft lens brush). To remove
dirt or fingerprints, clean with a softcotton cloth, rubbing in a circular motion. Use of a
coarse cloth or unnecessary rubbing may scratch the lens surface and eventually cause
permanent damage. For a more thorough cleaning, photographic lens tissue and
photographic-type lens cleaning fluid or isopropyl alcohol may be used. Always apply the
fluid to the cleaning cloth - never directly on the lens.

Before returning for repair, consult the Trouble Shooting Table below.

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):

• The battery is either weak or low quality. Replace the battery with a good quality
lithium 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 power button and hold
until new range reading is displayed.

If target range cannot be obtained:

• Make sure LCD is illuminated.

• Make sure that the power button is beingdepressed (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 power button.
