Distance Measuring

Your range finder has two different modes for

measuring distance.

Grass Land Mode

Grass Land Mode is specifically designed for

golfers. It allows you to conveniently measure the

distance from where you stand to the cup. In order

to use Grassland Mode, follow the steps below:

1. Press the ON/ADJUST button to power on your unit. By default, your unit will be in

Grass Land mode as displayed in Figure 1.

2. Look through the golf scope and align the baseline that appears on the screen to the

bottom of the pin. Press the ON/ADJUST button repeatedly to lower or raise the horizontal

line located above the baseline so that it is lined up with the top of the pin. (See figure 2.)

Pressing the MODE button will change whether the horizontal line raises or lowers when

you press the ON/ADJUST button.

3. The calculation at the top of the screen is indicative of your distance to the cup.
