WARNING
Before handling the laser rangender binoculars, read and understand the contents of this manual. The Sightmark Solitude Laser Rangender Binoculars utilize an eye safe FDA Class 1 / IEC Class 1 laser.
Although eye safe, please follow the following precautions:
• NEVER point the laser rangender directly at, or into, an eye while pressing the power button.
• Never look directly into the optics of the laser rangender while pressing the power button.
• DO NOT leave the laser rangender within the reach of children.
• When pressing the power button, the laser rangender is emitting an invisible laser from the laser aperture (1) and therefore should not be pointed at anyone.
Caution: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specied herein may result in hazardous laser radiation exposure.
INSTALLING THE BATTERY
The Sightmark Solitude Laser Rangender Binoculars operate on one 3V CR2 battery. When the battery is low, the low battery indicator will appear in the top right corner of the image.
In order to install the battery:
1. Unscrew the battery cap (8) using a athead screw driver
2. Insert the battery negative end rst.
3. Screw the battery cap back on.
Do not over tighten.

ADJUSTING THE EYECUPS
The Sightmark Solitude Laser Rangending Binoculars are equipped with twist-up eyecups which provide a custom t for proper eye relief even for those who wear glasses. If not wearing glasses, leave the eyecups in the up position. If wearing glasses, leave the eyecups in the down position.
To adjust the twist-up eyecups:
1 Rotate the eyepiece (5) counter-clockwise to
extend the eyecup. The eyecup will click into the rst position. Rotate again counter-clockwise to fully extend the eyecup in the second and nal position.
2 Rotate the eyepiece clockwise to retract the
eyecup.

SETTING DIOPTER ADJUSTMENT AND DISPLAY FOCUS
Before using the Sightmark Solitude Laser Rangender Binoculars, the binocular’s diopter adjustment and display focus should be set in order to ensure a sharp, focused image.
To set the binocular’s diopter:
1 First, pull or push the binoculars apart or together
in order to correctly set the interpupillary distance for your eyes. Do this until the view is a single circular image.
2 Next, locate the display focus ring (7) at the base
of the right eyepiece (5). While looking through the binocular adjust this ring until the reticle (9) is clear and crisp.
3 Next, locate the diopter adjustment ring (6) at
the base of the left eyepiece (5). While looking through the binoculars at an object at least 15 yards away, adjust the diopter adjustment ring until the image is sharp and focused.

Note: There is no focus adjustment for viewing dierent distances as this is a xed focus binocular. Also diopter
and display focus adjustment does not need to be changed unless the user of the binocular changes.

MEASURING DISTANCE
The Sightmark Solitude Laser Rangending Binoculars can measure large objects out to 1200m. The table below is a reference for the maximum range each model can measure depending upon the object. These measurements were recorded with the laser rangender binoculars resting on a stabilized platform on a clear, warm, low humidity afternoon. Variables such as surface material, texture, reectivity, color, size, and shape will aect the quality of the measurement. For example, a bright, highly reective surface is more reective than a dark, dull surface. Humidity, haze, dust, smoke, fog, rain, and any factor that reduces atmospheric clarity will aect the measurement performance of the laser rangender.
To measure the distance of an object:
1 View the object through the eyepiece (5) of the binocular rangender. 2 Press the power button (4) for one second to activate the rangender. 3 Align the object in the center of the reticle (9). 4 Press the power button again to activate the laser.
9
5 The distance display (10) will show the reading at the bottom left of the image. To maintain
the current reading, release the power button. The reading will remain until 1) 35 seconds have passed and the unit automatically shuts o with no button activation 2) the power button is pressed again to range nd.
6 To maintain a constant measurement of the object, continue to hold down the power button
and the laser rangender will continuously range. Once the object is aligned with the reticle, the distance will continuously update. In this mode, the last measurement will not remain after the power button is released.
SWITCHING UNIT OF MEASUREMENT
The Sightmark Solitude Laser Rangending Binoculars can measure distance in yards and meters.
To switch the unit of measurement (11):
1. Press the mode button (3) for two seconds (long press). Each long press of the mode button will switch from meters to yards.

MEASURING HEIGHT
MEASURING TRUE HORIZONTAL DISTANCE
MEASURING ANGLE
The Sightmark Solitude LRF-A Laser Rangender Binoculars are equipped with an integrated inclinometer that measures the exact angle of elevation. The binocular’s soft ware then uses this angle measurement to determine the true horizontal distance (THD) to a target. When shooting uphill or downhill at a target, bullet drop will always be less (meaning point of impact will be high) compared to shooting a at trajectory at the same distance. The shooter must use the THD readout to adjust for bullet drop. The THD mode is very helpful when hunting deer or elk in rugged, mountainous terrain when shots at extreme angles are fairly common.
To activate THD:
1 Press the mode button (short press) until the true horizontal distance mode (13) is activated.
The “Horz” indicator will appear on the display.
2 Next, press the power button to range the target.
The Sightmark Solitude LRF-A Laser Rangender Binoculars can measure the height of the target you are viewing. The height readout is benecial for shooters who need to know the exact height of their target, but prefer to range using their riescope’s rangending reticle.
To measure the height of an object:
1 Short press the mode button until the height mode (14) is activated. The “Hig” indicator will
appear on the display.
2 Once height mode is activated, press the power button to range the target. The measurement
of the target’s height will appear on the display.
3 To change the unit of measurement, press the mode button (3) for two seconds (long press).
Each long press of the mode button will switch from meters to yards.
The Sightmark Solitude LRF-A Laser Rangender Binoculars can measure the angle you are viewing an object. This angle readout is benecial for shooters who prefer to calculate true horizontal distance or need to know the exact angle of a shot.
To measure the angle of an object:
1 Short press the mode button until the angle mode (12) is activated. The “Ang” indicator will
appear on the display.
2 Once angle mode is activated, press the power button to measure the angle. Note: angle
mode does not have a continuous mode. The power button will need to be pressed every time to measure angle.

MAINTENANCE
Proper maintenance of the Sightmark Solitude Laser Rangender Binoculars is recommended to ensure longevity. It is recommended that when the laser rangender becomes dirty that it is wiped down with a dry or slightly damp cloth. To clean o dirt and debris from the laser’s aperture, make sure the laser is deactivated. It is recommended to remove the battery to ensure the laser will not activate during maintenance procedures. Clean lenses with a soft lens brush or lens cloth. Apply lens cleaning uid to the cleaning cloth, never directly on the lens, in order to remove ngerprints, smudges, and dirt. No further maintenance is required.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Proper authorization is required before shipping any product back to Sightmark. Failure to obtain authorization could result in your product being returned to the wrong address, lost, or damaged. Sightmark is not liable for products returned without authorization.
The Rangender does not provide measurement:
1 Press the power button to activate the unit and once more to active the laser. 2 Make sure the target is at least 15 yards/meters away. 3 For long range measurements, make sure the laser rangender is held in a stable position. 4 Ensure that no objects are blocking the laser aper ture as this will inter fere with the emission/
reception of the laser.
