PARTS OF THE RANGEFINDER: A. POWER / FIRE Button E. Laser Emission Aperture I. MENU / ENTER Button B. Twist-up Eyecup F. Laser Receiving Aperture J. Battery Compartment C. Ocular Lens G. Menu Dial K. Tripod Mount D. Diopter Focus H.
GETTING STARTED: Your RF.1 rangefinder comes with a battery already installed. Before using: 1. Open the battery cap by lifting the battery door tab and twisting the door counter clock-wise. 2. Remove and discard the plastic insert sitting on top of the battery.
ADJUSTING THE EYECUP: The eyecup on the RF.1 twists in and out so any user can see the full field of view and enjoy comfortable viewing and ranging with or without glasses. For best viewing without glasses we recommend twisting the eyecup such that it is fully extended. For best viewing with glasses, twist the eyecup down.

RANGEFINDING TIPS: 1. Unlike mankind, not all objects are created equal. a. Some objects are more reflective than others. b. Larger and more reflective objects are easier to detect. c. Objects that are lighter in color are generally easier to acquire than dark objects. 2.
CLEANING YOUR RANGEFINDER: 1. Remove as much dust and dirt as possible from the lenses with a blower or bristled brush. 2. Apply a few drops of lens cleaning solution to a lens tissue or microfiber cleaning cloth. Ensure that the cleaning cloth is free from dirt and grit so as not to scratch the lenses.
