OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS Preparing device for operation. Rotate the battery compartment cover (5, Fig.
The unit may be powered with 9V batteries capable to sustain 250 mA current drain: • Standard 9V battery may be used as a short term solution. It will last for about 30-45 minutes of continuous operation. • A 9V Lithium non-magnetic battery guarantees over 5,000 shots at room temperature and is recommended for the field usage.
If more than one parameter is chosen to measure, e.g. distance and azimuth, the results will replace each other on the display every half a second. Maximum distance Though maximum measurement distance depends on target reflectivity, weather and other conditions, for most targets the unit will provide accurate ranging for up to 2,000 meters.
Target selection logic On its way towards the target laser beam may reflect from various objects, thus decreasing ranging accuracy. The smaller, the farther, and the less reflective is the target – the higher is the possibility of obtaining an incorrect measurement.
To activate the Scanning regime press and hold the A button in the Ready mode. The unit will work in the Scanning regime while the A button is pressed. The Scanning or Individual Measurement regimes are available for any selected mode of measurement. When two parameters are measured in the Scanning regime though both will be quickly displayed, the second one may be difficult to register by eye.
3. What reticle shape is visible: rectangular or crosshair, 4. Which target is selected: first, last or most reflective (see Target selection logic for more details.) Setup mode is described in more detail below. The unit has a standard set of the Ready to Measure mode parameters: Standard1: distance is displayed in meters, azimuth is displayed in degrees, crosshair reticle is visible, auto...
Flashing display name indicates the mode which can be selected by pressing the A button (4). Setup and Data Recall modes have submenus, so when the A button is pressed to select these modes the unit automatically enters the corresponding submenu. In the same way as with the mode switching, the M button switches between submenu items and A selects the needed one.

To leave the Setup mode without changing measurement parameters press and hold M button for two seconds. This works like computer Esc key. The rangefinder will then keep the last set of parameters and return to the Ready to Measure mode.

Once set, the mode parameter is stored in on-board power independent memory and will be kept current until reset in Setup mode. Choosing in the Setup mode will cause all display segments and indicators to flash for 8 seconds. Flashing can be interrupted by pressing either button.
Page 22
Measurement results are saved in on-board memory in sets depending on the parameters set for measuring, for instance, if only distance is measured - the set will consist of one number, if distance and azimuth are measured – the set will consist of two numbers.
Display test mode Entering Code 16 will cause all display segments and indicators to flash for 8 seconds. Additional display information Ready to Measure Additional indication is displayed in the mode: Indicates that distance is displayed in yards or Y or M meters;...
6. BEST MEASURING TECHNIQUE Laser range finder measures distance by catching laser beam reflected from the target. Everything that improves reflection increases the measurement reliability and maximum range. 1. Use tripod when ranging remote targets. The longer is the distance, the greater is the beam shift due to hand tremor. 2.

atmospheric conditions, that is, in the rain, in fog, haze or bright sun. Gating provides better results than the “last” target selection, but it requires preliminary rough distance estimation to cut off all objects closer than the chosen one. Note: Gating setting is memorized by the System until it is altered.
7. STORAGE AND MAINTENANCE The unit is a sophisticated precision optical instrument equipped with laser and electronics. Therefore, it should be handled with due care. • Keep it away from direct sunlight. • Avoid impacts, jolts, dust, moisture, and sharp changes of temperature.
8. TROUBLESHOOTING Ranging does not work. The display is transparent. Check the charge of the battery. Replace it if it is weak. Ranging does not work. The display indicates results of the last measurement. Wait until display becomes transparent, and press the Action button again.
