3. OPT LOGIC Senes Laser Rangetinder CORPORATION 400XL 600XL 800XL 1000XL The Opti Logic XL Series Laser Rangefinder is an easy to use electronic instrument designed for hunting utilities construction and many other distance measurement applications The XL series Laser Rangefinder allows rapid accurate determination of distance to an object in a matter of seconds using one button operation and Red Dot technology for easy sighting This product is designed for years of trouble free operation and is proudly Made in the USA 1 0 Product Description and Features Viewfinder Look through the viewfinder window and aim the Red Dot at an object Range Button Press the Range button to take distance or height measurements or to select modes Display The Opti Logic Laser Rangefinder is user programmable to read in either Feet Meters or Yards Low Battery Replace the battery when the Low Battery symbol is displayed constantly Automatic Rain Mode For range accuracy in light rain conditions Automatic Timeout To save batteries the instrument will automatically time out after about 7 seconds 2 0 Basic Operation A Hold the instrument an inch or two from your eye and aim at the object through the viewfinder B Press and hold the Range button A Red Dot will appear in the viewfinder Place the Red Dot on the target C Release the button and maintain aim on the target momentarily
4. The clicking sounds indicate that the laser is hitting the target Like a Geiger counter stronger signals produce more rapid clicking The laser does not fire until the button is RELEASED D Read the distance after the audible tone is heard and the Red Dot turns off 2 1 Distance Measuring w Time of Flight Rangefinders The Opti Logic Laser Rangefinder emits invisible eye safe pulses of infrared light Distances are determined by reflecting the laser beam off an object and measuring the round trip time of flight of the laser beam to and from the object The laser beam emitted by the Rangefinder is in the form of a vertical stripe of invisible light which enhances the Rangefinder s ability to hit thin vertical targets The Opti Logic Laser Rangefinder incorporates a unique Lock and Load feature that simplifies the task of hitting targets in the presence of background objects Simply depress the Range button and aim the Rangefinder using the Red Dot aiming aid in the viewfinder The laser is fired AFTER the button is released which provides time to properly aim the Rangefinder and minimizes the chance of hitting unintended objects When the Rangefinder laser beam hits a target a clicking sound is produced to provide audible feedback to make it easier to home in on your target The rate of clicking is faster for brighter closer objects much like a Geiger counter To improve the accuracy of the instrument an onboard co

6. mputer averages several readings from the object After the Rangefinder has received enough information the audible clicking and Red Dot turn off and the distance is shown in the display A tone or beep will sound when the distance is displayed The maximum distance measurable by any laser rangefinder is determined by several factors including the size shape reflectivity and orientation of the object as well as atmospheric conditions Color and surface finish of the target also affect the reflectivity and therefore can influence the range as well A good quality target is a non gloss object that is light in color and has enough surface area for the laser beam to efficiently reflect back to the Rangefinder Vertical objects tend to make better targets than horizontal ones White objects tend to range farther than black objects Target surfaces that are perpendicular to the laser beam are better than surfaces tilted away from the Rangefinder Targets made of retroreflectors provide the greatest range capability Retroreflectors are made of special materials designed to reflect light back toward the light source for example stop signs street signs license plates and specially made Opti Logic reflectors Contrary to expectation extremely glossy surfaces like windows and mirrors do not make good targets because they tend to reflect light away from the instrument 2 2 Changing the 9 Volt Battery A Slide the locking tab on the s
