INTRODUCTION

The Carson® RF-650 LiteWave™ rangefinder emits a laser beam that is invisible and safe
to the eyes. The LiteWave™ then calculates distances by measuring the time it takes for
the laser to travel from the rangefinder to the target and then back again.

ACCURACY

The LiteWave™ rangefinder is accurate to within +/- 1 yard in most cases. The effective
operating range is from a minimum of 5 yards to a maximum range of 650 yards (3.5
meters to 600 meters). Please note that the maximum operating range may vary due to
the reflective properties of the viewing subject, the size of the viewing subject and the
environmental conditions at the time of use. Highly reflective shiny surfaces allow for
longer ranges than dull, less reflective surfaces. Larger subjects are easier to measure
than small ones. Bright light conditions adversely affect the maximum range of the
item. The angle to the viewing subject may also affect the range. Viewing objects at a
steep angle will limit the operating range.

INSERTING THE BATTERY

Flip tab on battery door up and twist counter clockwise to remove. Insert included
CR2 3-Volt Lithium battery into the compartment negative side first and replace
battery door.
A low battery icon will appear at the top of the viewing screen when it is time to
replace the battery.

Please remove battery during extended periods of disuse.

*Please note a paper tab was placed in the battery compartment during shipping to
avoid battery drain. Please remove and discard this tab prior to using the item.

USING YOUR RANGEFINDER

FOCUSING

While looking through the eyepiece, turn the eyepiece clockwise or counter-clockwise
until the viewing subject is in focus.

UNITS OF MEASURE

The LiteWave™ can be used to measure distances in either Yards or Meters. To change
the unit of measure, first power on the unit and then press and hold both the MODE and
POWER buttons simultaneously for three seconds. You will see the reticle display toggle
between “Y” and “M”.

USAGE MODES

The LiteWave™ rangefinder operates in three different modes. Mode 1 measures straight
line distance and degree of elevation. Mode 2 measures straight line (actual) distance,
degree of elevation, horizontal distance and the vertical distance between the horizontal
and actual distances. Mode 3 displays all the measurements from Mode 2, however, in
this mode the item will continuously scan these distances as you move the reticle around
and view different subjects. The LiteWave™ will default to Mode 1 when the item is first
powered on. Press the MODE button once to access Mode 2 or twice to access Mode 3.
