Cautions before use

Please observe the following

Fr guidelines strictly so you can use the equipment properly and avoid Es potentially hazardous problems. Pt Before using this product, read

thoroughly the “SAFETY AND OPERATION PRECAUTIONS” and instructions on correct usage accompanying the product. Keep this manual within reach for easy reference.

WARNING

This indication alerts you to the fact that any improper use ignoring the contents described herein can result in potential death or serious injury.

CAUTION

This indication alerts you to the fact that any improper use ignoring the contents described herein can result in potential injury or material loss.

SAFETY AND OPERATION

PRECAUTIONS

Warning

•Neverlookdirectlyatthelaserbeam or directly at the sun when using the Nikon Callaway iQ.

•DonotdepressthePOWERbutton while looking into the optics from the

objective side.

•Donotaimattheeye.

•Donotoperatetheunitwithother additional optical elements, such as lenses or binoculars. Using an optical instrument together with the Nikon Callaway iQ increases the danger of damaging the eyes.

•DonotdisassembletheNikon

Callaway iQ. The emitting laser may be harmful to your health. A product that has been disassembled is not guaranteed by the manufacturer.

•IftheNikonCallawayiQ’sbodycover is damaged, or if it emits a strange sound due to dropping or for some other cause, immediately remove the battery and stop using.

Cautions

•WhennotusingtheNikonCallawayiQ, donotpushthePOWERbutton.

•DonotleavetheNikonCallawayiQ within the reach of small children.

•Rain,water,sandandmudshouldbe removed from the rangefinder body surface as soon as possible, using a soft, clean, dry cloth.

•AlthoughtheNikonCallawayiQis waterproof, it is not designed for use underwater.

•DonotswingtheNikonCallawayiQby

its strap. It may hit someone and cause injury.

•DonotleavetheNikonCallawayiQ in an unstable place, as it may fall and cause injury, or damage the equipment.

•DonotlookthroughtheNikon

Callaway iQ while walking. You may walk into something and get hurt.

•Do not leave the Nikon Callaway iQ in a car on a hot or sunny day, or near heat-generating equipment. This may damage or negatively affect it.

•Do not leave the Nikon Callaway iQ in direct sunlight. Ultraviolet rays and excessive heat may negatively affect or even damage the unit.

•WhentheNikonCallawayiQis exposed to sudden changes in temperature, water condensation may occur on lens surfaces. Do not use the product until the condensation has evaporated.

•Donotusealcoholforcleaningthe main body.

•Donotleavethepolyethylenebag used for packaging within the reach of small children.

•Becarefulthatsmallchildrendonot inadvertently swallow the eyecup. If it does happen, consult a doctor immediately.

•Ifyouusetherubbereyecupfora long period of time, you may suffer skin inflammation. If you develop any symptoms, consult a doctor immediately.

•WhencarryingtheNikonCallaway iQ, store it in the soft case.

•IfyourNikonCallawayiQshouldfail to operate correctly, discontinue use immediately and consult the Troubleshooting Table. If you are unable to fix the problem, contact your local dealer for instructions on where to send it for repair.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Lenses

•When removing dust on the lens surface, use a soft oil-free brush.

•When removing stains or smudges like fingerprints from the lens surface, wipe the lenses very gently with a soft clean cotton cloth or quality oil-free lens tissue.

Use a small quantity of pure alcohol

(not denatured) to wipe stubborn smudges. Do not use velvet cloth or ordinary tissue, as it may scratch the lens surface. Once the cloth has been used for cleaning the body, it should not be used again for the lens surface.

Main body

•Clean the body surface with a soft, clean cloth and a dry cloth. Do not use benzene, thinner, or other organic agents because they may cause discoloration or rubber degeneration.

Storage

•Water condensation or mold may occur on the lens surface because of high humidity. Therefore, store the Nikon Callaway iQ in a cool, dry place. After use on a rainy day or at night, thoroughly dry it at room temperature, then store in a cool, dry place.

NOTES ON LITHIUM BATTERY

If handled incorrectly, batteries may rupture and leak, corroding equipment and staining clothing. Be sure to observe the following:

•Install batteries with the + and – poles positioned correctly.

•Batteries should be removed when exhausted or during extended periods of non-use.

•Always use the same type of battery.

•If battery fluid contacts eyes or skin, rinse well with water. If swallowed, consult a doctor immediately.

•Do not short-circuit battery chamber terminals.

•Do not carry batteries together with keys or coins in a pocket or bag. This may overheat and short-circuit batteries.

•Do not put batteries in fire or water.

Never disassemble batteries.

•Do not charge batteries.

•Do not subject stored batteries to extremes in temperature.

•Do not subject batteries to strong vibrations or shock.

		•	Approx. 5-second continuous measuring function

The Nikon Callaway iQ emits invisible, eyesafe, infrared energy pulses that reflect off the selected target back to its optical receiver. Sophisticated precision charge circuitry is used to instantaneously calculate distances, by measuring the time it takes for each pulse to travel from the rangefinder to the target and back. Laser reflectivity and measurement results may vary according to climatic and environmental conditions, the colour, surface finish, size, shape and other characteristics of the target.

The following factors ensure better range and accuracy:

•Night time use

•Cloudy weather

•Bright-coloured targets

•Targets with highly reflective surfaces

•Targets with shiny exteriors

•Large-size targets

•Shooting targets facing at 90 degrees

Measurement mayresult ininaccuracyor failure inthefollowingcases:

•Slender or small target

•Target has diffusing reflective surface

•Target does not reflect the laser beam to the rangefinder (glass, mirror, etc.)

•Black target

•Target has varying depths

•In snow, rain or fog

•Target measured through glass

•Reflective surface measured from diagonal direction

•Moving target

•Obstacle moving in front of the target

•When targeting the surface of water

Changing Batteries

•Type of battery: 3V CR2 lithium battery

•Battery condition indicators

: Battery has enough power for use.

:		Battery is getting low.
	flashing:	Battery is low and battery should be replaced.
	disappears:	Battery is exhausted and should be replaced.

Flashing mark in the LCD alerts that the battery should be replaced.

1Open the battery chamber cover

Using the ball of the thumb or a coin in the recessed part of the battery chamber cover, rotate the cover following the Open/ Close arrow indicator. It may not open easily due to its rubber packing for water resistance.

2Replace the old battery with a new one

Installnew battery with the[+]and[-] correctly positioned followingthe“Battery installation”indicationsealinthebattery chamber.(Insertbatterypositioningthe[+]poletowardstheinside ofthe chamber.)[The NikonCallaway iQwill not operateif the battery isinstalledincorrectly.]

3Close the battery chamber cover

Align the Open/Close indicator with the white dot and insert the battery chamber cover. Using the ball of the thumb or a coin, turn the cover in the opposite direction to the arrow indicator. It may not close easily due to the rubber packing for water resistance, but continue to turn it all the way until it stops. Confirm that the cover is securely closed.

•Battery life

Continuous operation: Approx.5,500times(at20°C)

This figure may differ according to temperature, and other factors such as target shape, color, etc.

*The Nikon Callaway iQ comes with a 3V CR2 lithium battery. However, due to natural electrical discharge, the life of the battery will likely be shorter than that noted above.

*Replace battery if the Nikon Callaway iQ is ever submerged in water or if water enters the battery chamber.

Caution — use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure

1.Install a battery in the battery chamber. (See "Changing Batteries")

2. Rubber eyepiece cup

Both eyeglass wearers and non-wearers can use this rangefinder without attaching the rubber eyepiece cup.

3.Diopter adjustment

Adjust diopter to obtain a clear image in the LCD.

First, rotate the diopter adjustment ring counterclockwise until it comes to a complete stop. Next, turn on the power to activate the LCD when you look through the Nikon Callaway iQ. Rotate the diopter adjustment ring clockwise until the display comes into focus.

If the diopter is not adjusted to correspond to your eyesight, you may not be able to aim your subject.
