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 RifleHunter 1000/Archer's Choice MAX 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.

Key Features
• Linear distance measurement range:
10-915 meter/11-1,000 yards (RifleHunter 1000) 4.5-183 meter/5-200 yards (Archer's Choice MAX)
• Distance measurement display steps:
(Linear Distance) 0.1 meter/yard
(measurement distance is less than 999.9 meters/yards) 1.0 meter/yard
(measurement distance is 1,000 meters/yards or further) (Horizontal Distance)
0.1 meter/yard
(calculated distance is less than 999.9 meters/yards) 1.0 meter/yard
(calculated distance is 1,000 meters/yards or further)
•Easy-to-aim 6x optical observation system
•Quantifies the horizontal distance to the target in relation to the rangefinder's level by measuring linear distance and angle.
•The results are displayed on an internal LCD panel.
•Active Brightness Control Viewfinder detects light conditions of the ground area mainly in the view field and, when necessary, automatically turns on the orange LED illumination.
The brightness of the orange illumination is adjusted automatically according to the light conditions.
•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
•8-second results display
•Compact, lightweight, ergonomic design
•Automatic shut-off (after approx. 8 sec. unattended)
•Default to“Last Use”settings
•Approx. 5-second continuous measuring function
The Nikon RifleHunter 1000/Archer's Choice MAX 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.
