to distance to a new target. As with any laser device, it is not recommended to directly view the emissions for long periods of time with magnified lenses.
The maximum time the laser is transmitted (fired) is 10 seconds. To re-fire, press the FIRE button down again.
ACTIVE LASER
Crosshairs surrounding the aiming circle indicate that the laser is being transmitted. Once a range has been acquired, you can release the POWER/FIRE button.
The crosshairs surrounding the circle will disappear once the FIRE button has been released (i.e. the laser is no longer being transmitted).
UNIT OF MEASURE (YARDS/METERS)
Distances in the laser rangefinder are displayed in yards or meters (indicated by Y or M next to the distance readout). To select your preferred units, start with the
unit powered off. Press and hold down the Power/FIRE button until you feel the "Jolt" vibration (about 7 seconds)-the "Y" (Yards) will blink. Continue to hold the
FIRE button until you see the units switch to "M" (meters), then release it. Note: you can also use the YDS/MTR option under the SET UP menu in the GPS display,
which also sets the units shown in the Laser display. Please see "Using the GPS Rangefinder" in this manual for more details..
FRONT/BACK OF HOLE DISTANCES (VIA GPS DATA)
In addition to the main distance to the flag at the center of the hole (or any other object you want to check with the laser rangefinder), distances to the FRONT and
BACK of the current hole are also indicated at the top of the display, provided the GPS section of the Hybrid has been activated (internal battery charged, GOLF
power switch pressed, satellite signal lock achieved, and a course selected). Please see "GPS Status/Data in the Laser Display" in this manual for more details.
ABOUT JOLT
The Hybrid's JOLT feature provides a vibration signal (similar to setting a cell phone to "vibrate") that will be felt when the Pinseeker technology indicates the flag
has been detected and the distance to it is displayed in the LCD.
CLEANING THE LASER OPTICS
Gently blow away any dust or debris on the monocular objective (7) and eyepiece (10) lenses (or use a soft lens brush). To remove dirt or fingerprints, clean with
a soft cotton or microfiber cloth, rubbing in a circular motion. Use of a coarse cloth or unnecessary rubbing may scratch the lens surface and eventually cause
permanent damage. For a more thorough cleaning, photographic lens tissue and photographic-type lens cleaning fluid or isopropyl alcohol may be used. Always
apply the fluid to the cleaning cloth – never directly on the lens.

USING THE GPS RANGEFINDER
CHARGING THE BATTERY
The internal lithium ion battery must be charged prior to using the GPS rangefinder for the first time, or when the battery charge level is low. To charge the battery,
pull the rubber cover up from the USB port on the back of the unit (12). Connect the provided USB cable. Connect the other end of the cable to any standard
smartphone charger and plug it into an AC outlet (110-120 volt). You can also charge the Hybrid GPS via an open USB port on your computer, a powered USB hub
(these methods will charge the battery more slowly than smartphone chargers). A scrolling battery icon on the BATTERY level display screen (selected from the
PLAY GOLF or SET UP menu) will indicate that your HYBRID is charging. The GPS display indicates "Charging Complete" in approx. 3 hrs ( using a phone charger).
The rechargeable battery of the HYBRID GPS section is long lasting and provides up to 3 rounds of golf (based upon average of 4 hours per round). However,
battery life may be reduced due to a variety of factors (external temperature, etc). All rechargeable batteries lose their effective charge length over time. Charging
your Hybrid's GPS battery before the charge level drops below 20% will guarantee that you will be able to make through the entire next round. To check your
remaining battery life at any time, press the MENU button (2) and select BATTERY (press DOWN button to highlight it, then press SELECT).
GETTING STARTED AND USING THE MENU SYSTEM
1. First, be sure the battery has a full charge (see previous section). If you are using it for the first time, it should be charged until full. Next, make sure you are
outdoors, in a location with a clear view of the sky overhead, to ensure good reception of GPS satellite signals. Now, you're ready to power up and use your
Hybrid GPS features.
2. Press and hold the GOLF button (1) on the side of the unit until it powers on. Press and hold the GOLF button again to turn off the power.
3. The GPS display (6) will show the Main Menu, with three items listed: PLAY GOLF, BLUETOOTH and SET UP.
4. To navigate through the display menu system, use UP/DOWN buttons (3/4) to highlight the desired menu item, then press SELECT (5). Highlight the desired
option or preference using UP/DOWN, the press SELECT to confirm/activate the new setting.
