WEEE

• If you use the rubber eyecup for a long period of time, you may suffer skin inflammation. If you develop any symptoms, consult a doctor immediately.

• When carrying the Nikon Laser Forestry Pro, store it in the soft case.

• If your Nikon Laser Forestry Pro should fail 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 discolouration or rubber degeneration.

Storage

• Water condensation or mold may occur on the lens surface because of high humidity. Therefore, store the Nikon

Laser Forestry Pro

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.

Key Features

• Linear distance measurement range: 10-500 meters/11-550

• Easy-to-aim 6x optical observation system

• Quantifies the horizontal distance to the target and its height in relation to the rangefinder's level by measuring linear distance and angle.

• Measure the vertical separation (height between two points) -

vertical separation mode and 3-point measurement mode are

available

• The results are displayed on both an internal and an external LCD panel. The external LCD panel shows all results simultaneously.

• Target Priority Switch System allows you to easily match the measuring situation.

• Waterproof design (NOT designed for underwater usage)

• Invisible/Eyesafe EN/IEC Class 1M Laser

• 30-second results display

• Compact, lightweight, ergonomic design

• Automatic shut-off (after approx. 30 sec. unattended)

• Default to “Last Use” settings

• Approx. 20-second continuous measuring function

The Nikon Laser Forestry Pro 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 may result in inaccuracy or failure in the following cases:

• Slender or small target

• Target has diffusing reflective surface

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

• Black target

• Target has varing 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
