1 Congratulations! Y ou have purchased a Leupold ® RX-600 / RX-750 Series digital laser rangefinder that has been designed by Leupold’s engineers and designers to be the best rangefinder on the market and to provide you with years of solid performance in the field.
2 rangefinders only provide a linear distance to your target. TBR delivers the ballistic equivalent range to the target, accounting for the effects of inclines or declines on the path of your bullet or arrow .
3 The Leupold RX-600 and RX-750 6x22mm rangefinders employ an eye safe FDA Class 1 and CE Class 3A laser in their operation. Even so, there are a few precautions that are important to remember: Do not.
4 RX -600/750 Features at a Glance POWER FOCUS Laser Radiation: FDA Class 1 / CE Class 3A • Measurement Range: 5 yds – 600 / 750 yds • Measuring Time: Less than 1 second • Auto Power .
5 B AT T E R Y P O W E R S TAT U S I N D I C AT O R T o determine your battery’s power level, look for the following indicators: FULL – A full battery bar indicates your battery is at or near peak capacity . HALF – A half-full bar indicates your battery has reached half-capacity .
6 CONTINUOUS MEASUREMENT OF A MOVING TARGET / SCAN MODE: Follow the instructions for “Measuring distance…” as explained previously . 1. Once the target has been measured, continue to hold down the POWER 2. button and follow the object as it moves.
7 Following is a reference table listing the ranges of the various models under different conditions: Surface texture, color , size, and shape of the target all af fect reflectivity , which in turn affects the maximum range of the instrument. As a rule of thumb, brightly colored targets are much more reflective than darker targets.
8 Specifications The RX-600 and RX-750 Series of digital laser rangefinders provides a variety of useful modes to tailor performance to the conditions you experience in the field.
