Measuring procedure
To start the measuring procedure, remove the lens cover. Look
through the eyepiece (1, Fig. 1, 2) and adjust the focus by its
rotating.
When the Rangefinder is off the LCD is blank. To activate it
press and hold A button (6, Fig. 1) for half a second. At start the
unit comes into Ready to Measure mode indicated by the word
‘READY’ on the display visible through eyepiece. You may
need to adjust the focus again so that both the display and distant
objects are seen sharp through the optical system.
Pressing A button (6, Fig. 1) in Ready to Measure mode initiates
measurement. The result of measurement is displayed in a form
that depends on the measurement parameters (see Setup Mode).
If measurement is unsuccessful four dashes (‘----‘) will be
displayed in the area (4, Fig. 3). For successful measurement the
target must be at least 10 m away.
The unit will switch off automatically after 16 seconds of
inactivity.
Maximum distance
Though maximum measurement distance depends on target
reflectivity, weather conditions and other conditions, for most
relatively large targets the unit will provide accurate ranging for
up to 1500 (LRM 1500M) or 1800 (LRM 1800S) meters.
