Page 3: How It Works
HOW IT WORKS The Cabela’s VLR II by Bushnell emits invisible, eye safe, infrared energy pulses. The Advanced Digital microprocessor and ASIC chip (Application-Specific Integrated Circuit) results in instantaneous and accurate readings every time. Sophisticated digital technology instantaneously calculates distances by measuring the time it takes for each pulse to travel from the rangefinder, to the target, and back. - Page 4 properties of the particular target and the environmental conditions at the time the distance of an object is being measured. The color, surface finish, size and shape of the target all affect reflectivity and range. The brighter the color, the longer the range. White is highly reflective, for example, and allows longer ranges than the color black, which is the least reflective color.

GETTING STARTED INSERTING THE BATTERY Remove the battery cap with a coin by rotating the cap counter clockwise and insert a 3-volt lithium battery into the compartment positive end first, then replace the battery cap. NOTE: It is recommended that the battery be replaced at least once every 12 months. Low Battery Indicator: If the “... - Page 6 OPEN ClOsE WidE ENd Of BattEry CaP NarrOW ENd Of BattEry CaP VLRII_1LIM.indd 6 7/11/08 9:00:28 AM...

Page 7: Adjusting The Eyepiece
ADJUSTING THE EYEPIECE Your VLR II is constructed with an adjustable eyepiece (+/- 2 Diopter Adjustment) that allows one to focus the LCD display relative to the image. For users without eyeglasses, simply rotate the eyepiece until the reticle and object distanced to are in focus to your eye. If you wear glasses, place the eyepiece up to your glasses and rotate the eyepiece until the reticle and object distanced to are in focus to your eye. -

surrounding the aiming circle will disappear once the power button has been released (i.e. the laser is no longer being transmitted). Note: Once activated, the LCD will remain active and display the last distance measurement for 30 seconds. You can depress the power button again at any time to distance to a new target. - Page 9 a natural characteristic of the LCD and cannot be fully eliminated in the manufacturing process. They do not affect the distancing performance of the unit. LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY (LCD) INDICATORS Your VLR II LCD incorporates illuminated indicators that advise the user unit of measure, when the laser is actively firing, when a target has been acquired, BullsEye™...
- Page 10 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 button. The crosshairs surrounding the circle will disappear once the power button has been released (i.e. the laser is no longer being transmitted). BullsEye™...
- Page 11 Press the POWER button to turn the unit on. Next, align the aiming circle onto the object (i.e. deer) that you want distance to. Next, press and hold the POWER button and move the laser slowly over the deer until crosshairs surround the BullsEye indicator.
- Page 12 -60 to +60 degrees of elevation and is +/- 1.0 degree accurate. The Cabela’s VLR II by Bushnell ® solves a problem bow-hunters have been faced with for years. The problem: Bow-hunters have struggled with extreme uphill and downhill angles because of how these angles alter true horizontal distance to your target.
- Page 13 Bow Mode ( Displays line of sight distance, degree of elevation, and true distance range from 5-99 yards / meters and a maximum inclination of +/- 60°. Once the range is displayed, continue to hold the POWER button down for approximately 2 seconds while holding the aiming circle on the object and keeping the unit as steady as possible so as to allow the inclinometer enough time to measure angle.
- Page 14 32 yards, you would shoot over the top of the deer because of the severe angle. The line of sight distance will display in the primary numeric display and the inclination and horizontal distance will display in the secondary numeric displays. Bushnell determined through extensive testing and VLRII_1LIM.indd 14...
- Page 15 interviews with high-profile bow hunting experts that multiple bow ballistic groups were not necessary. Bow-hunters want to know true horizontal distance because that is how they practice shooting, and once they confidently know that, they can make any necessary adjustments. Giving the bow-hunter anything else other than horizontal distance creates additional confusion and uncertainty.

Page 17: Troubleshooting Table
CLEANING Gently blow away any dust or debris on the lenses (or use a soft lens brush). To remove dirt or fingerprints, clean with a soft cotton cloth, rubbing in a circular motion. Use of a coarse cloth or unnecessary rubbing may scratch the lens surface and eventually cause permanent damage. - Page 18 If target range cannot be obtained: • Make sure LCD is illuminated. • Make sure that the power button is being depressed. • Make sure that nothing, such as your hand or finger, is blocking the objective lenses (lenses closest to the target) that emit and receive the laser pulses.
