  • Page 6: About Leupold

    It’s a decidedly American story: in 1907, a young German immigrant named Fred Leupold set up a one-man shop at 5th and Oak Streets in Portland, Oregon, repairing optics for surveying equipment . The small company survived the First World War and the Great Depression, however, it was the Second World War that would forever change the company .

  • Page 8: Accuracy

    ACCURACY The ranging accuracy of the GX-1i and GX-2i rangefinders is +/- .5 yard/meter . The maximum effective range depends upon a number of factors including lighting conditions and air quality, but the most important factor is the reflectivity of the target . For most objects, the maximum distance is 800 yards, while for highly reflective targets, distances of 1100 yards can be obtained .

  • Page 9: How Gx Rangefinders Work

    HOW IT WORKS The Leupold GX series of rangefinders emit a series of invisible, infrared energy pulses that are reflected off the selected target back to the optical unit . State-of-the-art circuitry and precision computing circuits are used to calculate the distance instantaneously by measur- ing the time it takes for each pulse to travel from the GX rangefinder to the object and back .

  • Page 14 GX-1i & GX-2i POWER FOCUS MODE BATTERY NOTE: To focus your GX rangefinder, turn the rubber eyepiece left or right until crisp focus is achieved. The GX-1i and GX-2i have two buttons: POWER and MODE . When you initially push the POWER button, the display is activated and the unit is ready for ranging .
  • Page 15 The GX-1i and GX-2i series rangefinders feature PinHunter 3 Laser Technology, which will always provide you the distance measurement to the closest object ranged . When you press and hold the MODE button for at least 2 seconds then release it, the Quick Set Menu is prepared for navigation .
  • Page 16 FOG MODE The Fog mode is best used in foggy/rainy conditions to screen out false readings from raindrops or other atmospheric interference to provide an accurate range . Fog mode provides the distance to the last object ranged . With Fog mode on, the user will need to range the base of the flag or lip of the green .
  • Page 17 TRUE GOLF RANGE (TGR) (GX-2i ONLY) TGR is an adjusted range that will compensate for uphill shots that play long and downhill shots that play short . TGR is calculated from the line of sight distance, incline or decline, and current temperature and altitude . TGR will display the adjusted range the golfer should play to .
  • Page 18 NOTE: Turning TGR off will also disable the Club Selector and inclinometer display; all distance readings will be line-of-sight (LOS) measurements. TO ACTIVATE TGR: (GX-2i ONLY) 1) Press POWER to activate the rangefinder . 2) Press and hold MODE for at least 2 seconds to enter the Quick Set Menu;...
  • Page 19 DAY OF PLAY TEMPERATURE/ALTITUDE INPUT (dP) (GX-2i ONLY) Temperature and altitude are two of the factors used to determine TGR ranges; inputting the current temperature and altitude will increase the accuracy of your TGR measurement . This feature is intended for players who live in low lying areas and travel to higher elevations to play golf .
  • Page 20 TO INPUT THE CURRENT TEMPERATURE AND ALTITUDE: (dP) 1) Press POWER to activate the rangefinder . 2) Press and hold MODE for at least 2 seconds to enter the Quick Set Menu . 3) Verify that TGR is turned on; if TGR is not activated, you will not be able to enter the current temperature .
  • Page 21 7) While the altitude is flashing, press and release POWER to change the current altitude setting to match current conditions; each depression of POWER will increase the altitude setting by 500 feet until 9999 has been reached, at which time the setting will return to 0 and begin increasing again .
  • Page 22 TGR SETUP (SU) (GX-2i ONLY) NOTE: GX-1i model will only display LOS in large numbers above the reticle . YARDS/METERS OUTPUT 1) Press POWER to activate the rangefinder . 2) Press and hold MODE for at least 2 seconds to enter the Quick Set Menu .
  • Page 23 When TGR is activated, the Club Selector recommends the proper iron for the current distance, shot angle, environmental conditions, and multiple other factors . Club selector is automatically activated when TGR is turned on . Press and release MODE to save your selection and move to the next function .
  • Page 24 TO INPUT THE STRIKING DISTANCE OF THE 8, 6 AND 4-IRON (GX-2i ONLY): NOTE: Though we strongly recommend inputting the specific distances obtained with each of the irons mentioned above, the specialized algorithms used by the GX-2i will make logical assumptions about the remaining club(s) if specific distances are not known for one or more of the remaining clubs.
  • Page 25 2) Press POWER to set the distance obtained with your 8-iron . Each depression of POWER will increase the distance associated with your 8-iron shot in 5-yard/meter increments beginning with the last saved distance, until 200 yards has been reached . Once 200 yards has been reached, it will reset to 60 yards, and start over again .
  • Page 26 5) The 4-iron symbol will now be highlighted and the last saved distance will be shown in the upper numeric display . If you wish to input a distance other than the one shown, proceed to step 6 . To save the shown distance for your 4-iron, press and release MODE for at least 2 seconds .
  • Page 27 TO INPUT THE TEMPERATURE AND ALTITUDE AT WHICH THE STRIKING DISTANCE FOR EACH CLUB WAS MEASURED: The procedure for inputting the temperature and altitude at which each striking distance was measured begins immediately after inputting the specific club distances . Follow each of the steps under “To Input The Striking Distance Of The 8, 6 and 4-iron”...
  • Page 28 3) The last saved altitude will be flashing in the bottom portion of the display . If you wish to input an altitude other than the one shown, proceed to step 4 . To save the shown altitude press and hold MODE for at least 2 seconds .
