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.
