temperature, water condensation may occur on lens surfaces. Do not use the product until the condensation has evaporated.

•Do not use alcohol for cleaning the main body.

•Do not leave the polyethylene bag used for packaging within the reach of small children.

•Be careful that small children do not inadvertently swallow the eyecup. If it does happen, consult a doctor

6

immediately.

•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.

[External Display]: (Linear distance)

(Horizontal Distance/Height) (Angle)

•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.

8

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

flashing in the LCD indicates 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

Install new battery with the [+] and [-] correctly positioned following the “Battery installation” indication seal in the battery chamber. (Insert battery positioning the [+] pole towards the inside of the chamber.) [The Laser Forestry Pro will not operate if the battery is installed incorrectly.]

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. 13,000 times (at 20°C)

Target focusing, measurement, and automatic power off are included in a single cycle. This figure may differ according to temperature, and other factors such as target shape, colour, etc.

*The Nikon Laser Forestry Pro come with a 3V CR2 lithium battery. However, due to natural electric discharge, the life of the battery will likely be shorter than that noted above.

*Replace battery if the Nikon Laser Forestry Pro is ever submerged in water or if water enters in the battery chamber.

[Deciding which Target Priority to use]

When obtaining different results from a single measuring operation, the Nikon Laser Forestry Pro will display the distance to the farthest target on the LCD panel when using Distant Target Priority mode, while First Target Priority mode will show the range to the nearest target.

ex.) When measuring a tree standing in front of a house;

	Distance to Target	Tree	Fence	House
		115m	123m	128m

"115m" (distance to the tree) will be displayed in First Target Priority mode, and "128m" (distance to the house) in Distant Target Priority mode. First Target Priority mode, for example, has applications for golf, while Distant Target Priority is useful when

hunting in heavily wooded areas.
