BASIC OPERATION

While looking through the Nitro laser rangefi nder, depress the Power/Fire button once to activate the display. If the display
appears blurry, rotate the rubber eyecup/diopter adjustment in either direction until the display is sharp for your vision. Place
the aiming circle (located in the center of the display) on a target at least 5-6 yards away, depress and hold the Fire button
down until the range reading is displayed near the bottom of the display. Once a range has been acquired, you can release
the Fire button. Once activated, the display will remain on and display the last distance measurement for about 15 seconds,
until the display automatically switches off to extend battery life. You can depress the Fire button again at any time to check
the range to a new target. To re-fi re, press the button down again.

Crosshairs (see display image above, 5) surrounding the aiming circle (4) indicate that the laser is being transmitted. The
crosshairs surrounding the circle will disappear once the Fire button has been released (i.e. the laser is no longer being
transmitted).
TARGETING MODES
The Nitro laser rangefinder can be operated in one of three available Targeting Modes, with Standard mode as the default.
To select a different targeting mode, press the Mode button briefly until the desired indicator (BullsEye or Brush) appears.
To return to Standard mode, press Mode one more time after the Brush mode indicator is seen. The targeting modes are:
• Standard Mode with Automatic SCAN (LCD Indicator – none) This setting allows most targets to be ranged, up to 1760
yards. Used for moderately reflective targets that are typical of most distancing situations. The minimum distance in the
standard mode is 10 yards. To use the Automatic SCAN feature, simply hold down on the Fire button for approximately
3 seconds, then move the rangefinder from object to object while keeping the Fire button depressed. Automatic SCAN
will allow the range to be continuously updated as multiple objects are targeted.
• BullsEye Mode (LCD Indicator (6) -

inadvertently getting distances to background targets that have stronger signal strength. When more than one object
has been acquired, only the distance of the closest object will be displayed and a crosshair will surround the BullsEye™
indicator informing the user that distance to the closer object is being displayed in the LCD.
