BATTERY LEVEL INDICATOR
Ensure the rangefinder is fully charged before using. The Battery Indicator (3) shows the remaining power level:
•
Full charge
•
Approx. 2/3 battery life remaining
•
Approx. 1/3 battery Life remaining
•
Battery Indicator Blinks - The battery needs recharging or the unit will not be operable.
BASIC OPERATION
1. Press Fire/Power button to activate display and fire laser.
2. Rotate the Fast Focus Eyepiece for a sharp display.
3. Use charging port to charge when needed.
4. Press and hold Mode button to enter Settings. The Dots system provides reference when navigating the Settings
Mode. Press the Mode button to select and modify:
•
Display Brightness: 1, 2, 3, 4
•
Distance Units: Yards/Meters
•
MyBag Enable: Club On/Club Off
•
Bluetooth: On, Off, Pair
•
Home Elevation: ELE/Adjust (see setting detail on page 6)
5. Press Fire/Power Button, while in Settings to advance to the next screen.
6. While in Slope Mode, press and release the Mode button to toggle between PlayAs and Element Compensation
Modes.
7. Slope Switch enables/disables Slope Mode.
8. Club Recommendations are based on MyBag assessment data. See the MyBag setup guide for details.
ADJUSTING THE EYEPIECE
The Pro XM has an adjustable Fast Focus eyepiece (+/- 3.5 diopter adjustment) that allows you to focus the displayed data
and icons relative to the viewed image from the monocular optics. Rotate the eyepiece until the display is in focus.
ACTIVE LASER
Crosshairs surrounding the aiming circle indicate that the laser is transmitting. Once a range is acquired, you can release
the Power/Fire button. The crosshairs surrounding the circle will disappear once the Power/Fire button is released (i.e., the
laser is no longer transmitting).
SLOPE SWITCH TECHNOLOGY
Slope-Switch Technology lets the golfer easily turn Bushnell's patented Slope function
on and off. The switch allows the golfer to conveniently utilize Slope to get compensated
distances around the course when they want it and have a USGA conforming device that
is legal for tournament play when they need it.
Slope mode is enabled by sliding the Slope Switch on the side of the Pro XM to the left so the orange Slope indicator is
visible (see photo, right) and Bushnell's patented Slope Technology is displayed. The Slope +/- mode will automatically
compute an angle compensated range based on distance and Slope determined by the laser rangefinder and built-in
inclinometer. This data is combined with internal algorithmic formulas dealing with average club use and ball trajectories.
The angle compensated range provides direction on how to play the shot (i.e., add distance if an incline, subtract distance
if a decline). Slide the Slope Switch right, and the Pro XM now conforms to USGA Rule 14-3, with the Slope compensated
ranging feature removed.
THE ADVANTAGE OF SLOPE +/-™
The distance to the orange flag in the drawing (see next page) is 160 yards. It is also 160 yards to the blue flag, although
it is situated on a slope with a 6% grade (an uphill incline). However, if a golfer were to play this hole as 160 yards, the ball
(X) would fall short of the hole/flag if slope was not taken into account. Therefore, due to the slope, it should be played as a
168 yard shot. This distance displays the "PlayAs" distance, which is below the line of sight distance.
