Regular Mode ( ): This mode does not provide any degree of elevation or compensated distance, but instead, line of sight distance only.
MENU SETUP – SELECTION of BOW, RIFLE, REGULAR MODES and UNIT OF MEASURE
There are two ARC (Angle Range Compensation) modes and one REGULAR mode. The two ARC modes are BOW mode and RIFLE mode.
To select between these modes, first turn the unit “ON” by pressing and releasing the POWER button. Next, press and hold the MODE button for five seconds. The “SETUP” display icon will light and the current compensation mode will be identified by either the “BOW” symbol ( ), the “RIFLE symbol
( ) lit with one of the ballistic groups (A thru J) displayed and flashing, or no indicators lit and the

The modes can be cycled through in a circular fashion by pressing and releasing the mode button. The order of modes is a follows: BOW, RIFLE A, RIFLE B, RIFLE C, RIFLE D, RIFLE E, RIFLE F, RIFLE G, RIFLE H, RIFLE I, RIFLE J, REG, etc. When the bow selection is displayed, the “BOW” icon will flash and when a “RIFLE: selection is displayed, the “RIFLE” icon will be steady, but the ballistic group will be flashing

When the unit automatically powers down, operation will always return to the normal operation (i.e. away from SETUP) with the last used ARC mode active (i.e. BOW, RIFLE, or REGULAR) along with the last used TARGETING modes active (Standard SCAN, BULLSEYE, or BRUSH). If the unit turns off while in the SETUP menu, the unit will always return to the last mode(s) still active.
Once the range is displayed, continue to hold the POWER button down for approximately 2 seconds while holding the aiming circle on the object and keeping the unit as steady as possible so as to allow the inclinometer enough time to measure angle. Then release the POWER button. Once you have released the power button, a degree of angle and compensated range will be displayed beneath the line of sight distance as seen in the images below.
