HOW OUR DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY WORKS

e Tour® L™ Jolt emits invisible, eye safe, infrared energy pulses. e Tour® L™ Jolt Advanced Digital microprocessor

and ASIC chip (Application-Specic Integrated Circuit) results in instantaneous and accurate readings every time.

Sophisticated digital technology instantaneously calculates distances by measuring the time it takes for each pulse to

travel from the rangender, to the target, and back.

RANGING ACCURACY

e ranging accuracy of the Tour® L™ Jolt is plus or minus one yard / meter under most circumstances. e maximum

range of the instrument depends on the reectivity of the target. e maximum distance for most objects is  yards

/  meters while for highly reective objects the maximum is  yards /  meters.

Note: You will get both longer and shorter maximum distances depending on the reflective properties of the particular target and the environmental

conditions at the time the distance of an object is being measured. The color, surface finish, size and shape of the target all affect reflectivity and range.

The brighter the color, the longer the range. Red is highly reflective, for example, and allows longer ranges than the color black, which is the least reflective

color. A shiny finish provides more range than a dull one. A small target is more difficult to range than a larger target. The angle to the target also has

an effect. Shooting to a target at a 90 degree angle (where the target surface is perpendicular to the flight path of the emitted energy pulses) provides

good range while a steep angle on the other hand, provides limited ranging. In addition, lighting conditions (e.g. the amount of sunlight) will affect the

ranging capabilities of the unit. The less light (e.g. overcast skies) the farther the unit’s maximum range will be. Conversely, very sunny days will decrease

the unit’s maximum range.

E.S.P.2™ (Extreme. Speed. Precision. 2nd generation), our advanced second generation ranging technology, provides the fastest, most accurate

ranging measurement based on target conditions. The laser analyzes multiple individual measurements to the target and calculates and displays the best

possible result. Target variations such as reflectance, shape and color can affect the accuracy of a laser measurement, but E.S.P.2™ automatically assesses

the conditions and improves the measurement up to 1/2 Yard Accuracy whenever possible from 5–125 yards. When this occurs, display readout precision

will be refined to 1/10th yard.

GETTING STARTED

OPERATIONAL SUMMARY

While looking through the Tour® L™ Jolt, depress the power button once to activate the Vivid Display. Place the

aiming circle (located in the center of the eld of view) upon a target at least  yards away, depress and hold the power

button down until the range reading is displayed near the bottom of the in-view display. Crosshairs surrounding the

aiming circle indicate that the laser is being transmitted. Once a range has been acquired, you can release the power

button. e crosshairs surrounding the aiming circle will disappear once the power button has been released (i.e. the

laser is no longer being transmitted).

Note: Once activated, the display will remain active and display the last distance measurement for 7 seconds. You can depress the power button again at

any time to distance to a new target. As with any laser device, it is not recommended to directly view the emissions for long periods of time with magnified

lenses. The maximum time the laser is transmitted (fired) is 7 seconds. To re-fire, press the button down again.

ADJUSTING THE EYEPIECE

Your Tour® L™ Jolt is constructed with a fold-down eyepiece designed for comfort and to exclude extraneous light.

e Tour® L™ Jolt provides extra-long eye-relief. If you wear glasses, make sure the eyecup is in the down position

as this will bring your eye closer the eyepiece lens allowing you to see a full eld of view. e Tour® L™ Jolt is also

equipped with an adjustable eyepiece (+/-  Diopter Adjustment) that allows one to focus the VDT™ display relative

to the image. Simply rotate the eyepiece until the red display is in focus.

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. e crosshairs surrounding the circle will disappear once the power button has been

released (i.e. the laser is no longer being transmitted).

PINSEEKER™

Ever have trouble getting distance to the ag? is advanced mode allows easy acquisition of the ag without

inadvertently getting distances to background targets (i.e. trees) that have stronger signal strength.

For ease of use, the device will always be in PinSeeker™ Mode.

To use, align the aiming circle reticle onto the ag that you want distance to. Next, press and hold the POWER button

and move the laser slowly over the ag or desired object until a circle surrounds the ag indicator. If the laser beam

recognized more than one object (i.e. ag and background trees), distance of the ag will be displayed and a circle will

surround the PinSeeker™ indicator informing the user that distance to the ag (i.e. closer object) is being displayed

in the VDT™ (as seen below). ere may be times when only the laser beam only sees one object in its path. In this

case, the distance will be displayed, but because more than one object was not acquired, a circle will not surround the

ag indicator.

Tip: While pressing the POWER button, you can move the device slowly from object to object and intentionally force the laser to hit multiple objects to ensure that

you are only displaying the closest of the objects recognized by the laser. Once the device has shut off, the unit will always default back to the last mode used.

PINSEEKER™ WITH SLOPE +/™

e advanced patented SLOPE mode is available only on model . is model features a built-in accelerometer-

based inclinometer that digitally displays the exact slope angle from - to + degrees of elevation and is +/- . degree

accurate. e Slope +/-™ mode will automatically compute an angle compensated range based upon distance and slope

angle determined by the laser rangender and built-in inclinometer. is data is then combined with internal algorithmic

formulas dealing with average club use and ball trajectories. e angle compensated range provides direction on how to

play the shot (i.e. add distance if an incline, subtract distance if a decline).

ACTIVATING SLOPE MODE

e Tour® L™ Jolt with Slope +/-™ was especially designed with golfers in mind. e SLOPE mode allows you to display

the angle and “Play-As” distance. To activate or deactivate this mode, press the POWER button once to turn the unit

ON. en while looking through the eyepiece, press the MODE button and quickly release.

HOW TO USE SLOPE +/™

Once in this mode, you will see a “ ° ” in the eld of view informing you that you are in the Slope +/- Mode. Press

the POWER button to obtain distance to the ag or other objects. Once the range is displayed, continue to hold the

POWER button down for approximately  seconds while holding the aiming circle on

the ag and keeping the unit as steady as possible so as to allow the inclinometer enough

time to measure slope. en release the POWER button. Once you have released the

power button, a degree of angle and compensated range will be displayed beneath the

standard distance as seen below.

In this example, the true distance is  yards, slope is + degrees, and the compensated

range is  yards. e “ ” symbol means “Play-As”, so instead of playing as  yards,

“play-as”  yards.

THE ADVANTAGE OF SLOPE TECHNOLOGY

e distance to ag A in the drawing below is  yards. It is also  yards to ag B although it is on a slope.

However, if you were to play this hole as  yards, the ball (X) would fall short of the hole/ag because you did not

take slope into account. e compensated distance would be longer. In this example, the compensated distance would

be  yards. If Slope is enabled, the display would show y in the upper (large) digits. e lower (smaller) digits

would alternate between the angle ( degrees) and the compensated distance (y).

DISPLAYBRIGHTNESS

Vivid Display Technology™ dramatically improves contrast, clarity and light transmission while increasing

brightness of the digital readout, making distance readings legible in low light environments. ere are four

intensity settings to choose from and this is the rst setting within the SETUP menu. Press the MODE button for

 seconds to get into the SETUP menu. e existing brightness setting will be ashing (i.e. BRT, BRT, BRT, or

BRT), pressing the MODE button will toggle between the four brightness settings. “BRT” is the lowest intensity

while “BRT ” is the brightest. Simply press the MODE button until the desired brightness setting is displayed and

select by pressing and releasing the POWER button.

UNIT OF MEASURE OPTIONS

e Tour® L™ Jolt can be used to measure distances in yards or meters. e unit of measure indicators are located in

the lower right portion of the VDT™. ere are two measuring settings to choose from and this is the second setting

within the SETUP menu. Look through the eyepiece, depress the “MODE” button (“B” Button on side of device)

and hold it down for approximately  seconds to get into the SETUP menu. Depressing the MODE button will toggle

through the brightness settings. If you are changing from yards to meters, a change in unit of measure will be indicated

by the illumination of the M for meter indicator while the Y for Yard indicator is turned o. If you are changing from

meters to yards, the opposite will occur. e Tour® L™ Jolt will return to the last unit of measure setting used each

time the unit is turned on.

ABOUT THE JOLT FEATURE

e Tour® L™ Jolt features PinSeeker™ technology with JOLT, allowing the golfer to easily and quickly “zero” in on

the ag without acquiring background targets. e Jolt feature provides a short vibration to indicate when Pinseeker

has triggered.

ACCESSORY MOUNT

Molded into the bottom of the product is a threaded accessory mount that will allow you to attach the following Bushnell®

monopod and insert into cart umbrella holder.

• 360R Retractor: Attaches the rangender to your golf bag for easy access while walking the course.

CLEANING

Gently blow away any dust or debris on the lenses (or use a soft lens brush). To remove dirt or ngerprints, clean with a soft

cotton cloth, rubbing in a circular motion. Use of a coarse cloth or unnecessary rubbing may scratch the lens surface and

eventually cause permanent damage. For a more thorough cleaning, photographic lens tissue and photographic-type lens

cleaning uid or isopropyl alcohol may be used. Always apply the uid to the cleaning cloth – never directly on the lens.

LEATHER CARE

Your L Laser Rangender has a premium leather grip. Leather is a soft natural material, which provides an unmatched

quality feel and a lifetime of enjoyment when cared for properly. Failure to adequately care for the leather will void the

product warranty (with regard to the leather grip only).

Leather should not be exposed to moisture. If the leather becomes wet, dry and clean it immediately. Care should be taken

to not to scratch or rub the leather surface. Leather exposed to sunlight on a regular basis requires extra maintenance to

keep it looking best.

Cleaning leather regularly is essential to maintaining its appearance. To clean the leather grip, follow these steps:

• Use microber or other soft cloth to remove surface dust.

• Use saddle soap or other leather-safe moisturizing soap applied to a soft cloth to clean the leather.

• Bu the leather, do not rinse with water.

Before using any product on leather, test it in an inconspicuous area to make sure it won’t cause damage or discoloration.
