8 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. Y ou can depress the power button again at any time to distance to a new target.
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.
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.
11 Press the POWER button to tur n 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 .
12 TIP: While pressing the POWER button, you can move (SCAN) the device slowly from object to object and intentionally force the laser to hit multiple objects to ensure that you are only displaying the closest of the objects recognized by the laser .
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°.
14 The “ ” means “play” or “shoot as,” so instead of shooting as 32 yards, shoot as 23 yards. If you were to shoot as if 32 yards, you would shoot over the top of the deer because of the severe angle.
15 inter views with high-profile bow hunting exper ts that multiple bow ballistic groups were not necessar y . 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 necessar y adjustments.
