AUTOMATIC SCAN
To use the Automatic SCAN feature, press and hold the Fire button, then move the rangefinder from object to object while
keeping the Fire button pressed. Automatic SCAN will cause the standard line of sight distance readout (4) to update as
multiple objects are targeted continuously. The Active/Scan indicator lines (3) flash while scanning.
ANGLE RANGE COMPENSATION (ARC)
The Bone Collector™ 1000 rangefinder with ARC™ was
specially designed for hunters. Your rangefinder features a built-
in inclinometer that solves a problem hunters have faced for
years. Bow and rifle hunters have struggled with extreme uphill
and downhill angles because of how these angles alter the
true horizontal distance to your target. The ARC™ solution: an
integrated inclinometer provides angular data to a processor chip
when targeting either uphill or downhill objects. This data is then
combined with internal algorithmic formulas.
When the Fire button is released, the rangefinder's display will
show the standard "line of sight" distance near the center of the
display (4), along with the angle of the incline in degrees (-/+ 70º),
indicated at the left side of the display (7).
For example, a bowhunter in a tree stand may be aiming at a deer downhill at -52º relative to his position. The line of sight
distance is 32 yards, but he is likely to "overshoot" the target based on that. The THD distance (compensated for the angle)
reads 20 yards. That is the distance the hunter should base their shot on.
CLEANING AND GENERAL CARE
The lenses of your Bushnell Bone Collector™ 1000 laser rangefinder are multi-coated for the highest light transmission. As
with multi-coated optics, special care must be taken to clean the lenses. Follow these tips for proper lens cleaning:
•
Blow away any dust or debris on the lens (or use a soft lens brush).
•
To remove dirt or fingerprints, clean with the supplied microfiber cloth rubbing in a circular motion. Using a coarse
cloth or unnecessary rubbing may scratch the lens surface and eventually cause permanent damage. The included
washable microfiber cleaning cloth is ideal for routine optics cleaning. Breathe lightly on the lens to provide
moisture, then gently rub the lens with the microfiber cloth.
•
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.
The rangefinder is manufactured and tested to withstand water exposure up to IPX4 standards. It is water resistant but
should not be submerged.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Never disassemble your laser rangefinder. Irreparable damage can result from unauthorized service attempts, voiding the warranty.
If the unit does not turn on, the display does not illuminate:
Press Power/Fire button.
•
•
Check and, if necessary, replace the battery. If the unit does not respond to button presses, replace the battery with a good
quality CR2 3-volt Lithium battery.
If the unit powers down (the display goes blank when attempting to power the laser):
The battery is either weak or low quality. Replace the battery with a new 3-volt lithium battery (CR2).
•
If the target range cannot be obtained:
•
Make sure the display is illuminated.
•
Make sure that the Power/Fire button is being pressed.
•
Ensure that nothing, such as your hand or finger, is blocking the lenses at the front of the rangefinder that emits and receive
the laser pulses.
•
Ensure the unit is steady while pressing the Power/Fire button.
NOTE: The last range reading does not need to be cleared before ranging another target. Aim at the new target using the display reticle, press the power
button, and hold until the new range reading is displayed.
