HOW TO USE SLOPE +/-™
Move the slope switch to the "Slope On" position. The second row of information appears in the display, confirming that
you are now in slope mode. Next, press the Power/Fire button to obtain the distance to the flag or other objects. Once the
range is displayed, release the Power/Fire button. Once you have released the Power/Fire button, the grade percentage
and compensated range will be displayed beneath the standard distance in the second row of numbers.
For example, if the true distance is 160 yards, but with a slope of -3%, the Slope compensated ("PlayAs")
range is 156 yards. The display would show this (right):
ELEMENTS
With Slope mode selected, the display will show the percent grade of tilt/incline to the hole or obstacle (with the flag or
other target in the aiming circle) and "PlayAs" compensated distance below the normal "Line of Sight" distance when the
laser is fired. You can also activate the Element feature by pressing the Mode button (toggle between Elements on or off).
"ON" indicates the Elements Mode icon (
When the Elements Mode is on, the Slope compensated distance also factors in the air pressure and temperature at your
location on the golf course. So, for example, the ball will travel farther through thinner air at higher altitudes (assuming the
ball is hit with the same launch conditions). Note: once the device has shut off, the unit will always default to the last mode
used.
THE ADVANTAGE OF SLOPE +/-™ WITH ELEMENTS
A. The distance to the orange flag in the drawing below is 160 yards. It is also 160 yards to the blue flag, although it is on
a slope with a 6% grade (uphill incline). However, if a golfer were to play this hole at 160 yards, the ball (X) would fall
short of the hole/flag if Slope was not considered. Therefore, due to the Slope, play it as a 168 yard shot.
B. In the drawing below, the golfer is hitting up hill, playing at cooler temperature, and at a course elevation lower than
their Home Elevation. The Slope and Elements compensated distance for this shot is 171 yards.

PINSEEKER™ WITH VISUAL JOLT®
Ever had trouble getting the distance to the flag? This advanced mode allows easy flag acquisition without inadvertently
getting distances to background targets (i.e., trees) with stronger signal strength.
To use PinSeeker™, align the aiming circle reticle onto the flag that you want to measure the distance. Then, press and hold
the Power/Fire button and move the laser slowly across an area until the aiming circle at the center of the display is located
over the flag or desired object. If the laser beam recognized more than one object (i.e., the flag and a group of trees behind
it), only the distance to the closest object (the flag) would be displayed. The JOLT Technology provides two short pulses to
confirm that the distance displayed is to the flag. Then, the red ring around the display (Visual JOLT Indicator) is activated,
confirming the laser has ranged the correct target via PinSeeker™. Sometimes, the laser beam only sees one object in its
path. In this case, the distance is displayed, but no JOLT indication will be provided because more than one object was not
acquired.
TIP: While pressing the Power/Fire button, you can move the device slowly from object to object and intentionally force the laser
to hit multiple objects to ensure that you only display the closest objects recognized by the laser. Once the device has shut off,
the unit will always default to the last mode used.
*For ease of use, the device will always be in PinSeeker™ Mode.
