LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY (LCD) INDICATORS
The BowHunter™ features a Perma Focus monocular optical system for viewing your target. A liquid crystal display (LCD) is mounted within the optical system and when activated, displays unit of measure, a reticle for targeting, when the laser is actively firing, when a target has been acquired, battery life indicator and Bow mode indicator. Inherent in the manufacturing process are small black spots that appear in the optical system. These are a natural characteristic of the LCD and cannot be fully eliminated in the manufacturing process. They do not affect the distancing performance of the unit. A summary of these features is presented below.
UNIT OF MEASURE OPTIONS
The BowHunter™ can be used to measure distances in yards or meters. The unit of measure indicators are located in the lower right portion of the LCD. To select between yards and meters, the unit should be off. While looking through the eyepiece, press and hold the POWER button down for approximately 5 seconds. During this time all liquid crystal segments and icons will be displayed. As you continue to depress the power button, the display will toggle back and forth between Yards and Meters. Once the unit of measure desired is displayed, simply release the power button. The device will return to the last unit of measure setting used each time the unit is turned on.
RETICLE FOR TARGETING OBJECTS
Place the aiming circle (located in the center of the field of view) upon a target at least 5 yards away, depress and hold the power button down until the range reading is displayed near the bottom of the
ACTIVE LASER
Crosshairs surrounding the aiming circle indicate that the laser is being transmitted. Once a range has been acquired, you can release the power button. The crosshairs surrounding the circle will disappear once the power button has been released or a distance has been displayed (i.e. the laser is no longer being transmitted).
