HOW OUR DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY WORKS
e Pro X emits invisible, eye safe, infrared energy pulses. e Pro X Advanced Digital microprocessor and ASIC
chip (Application-Specific 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
rangefinder, to the target, and back.
RANGING ACCURACY
e ranging accuracy of the Pro X is plus or minus one yard / meter under most circumstances. e maximum range
of the instrument depends on the reflectivity of the target. e maximum distance for most objects is  yards / 
meters while for highly reflective 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. For those who prefer their distances displayed in whole units (full yard or meters), E.S.P.2™ can be disabled in the Setup Menu.

DUAL DISPLAY
TECHNOLOGY
,
GETTING STARTED
OPERATIONAL SUMMARY
While looking through the Pro X, depress the power button once to activate the display. Place the aiming circle
(located in the center of the field 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
e Pro X is equipped with an adjustable eyepiece (+/-  Diopter Adjustment) that allows
you to focus the display relative to the image. Simply rotate the eyepiece until the display
is in focus.
DUAL DISPLAY (SELECTING RED OR BLACK DISPLAY)
e Pro X features Dual Display Technology, which lets you easily toggle between a
bright red display featuring VDT (Vivid Display Technology) or a crisp black display,
based on lighting conditions or your preference. To toggle between red and black displays
briefly press and release the round “B” logo plate on the left side of the unit.

SLOPE-SWITCH TECHNOLOGY
Slope-Switch Technology lets the golfer easily turn Bushnell’s patented Slope function on and off. is allows the
golfer to conveniently utilize Slope to get compensated distances around the course when they want it and have a
USGA conforming device that is legal for tournament play when they need it.

INSERTING THE BATTERY
Remove the Posi-read™ battery door by lifting the battery door tab and then rotating counter clockwise.
Insert a CR2 3-volt lithium battery into the compartment negative end first, then replace the Posi-read™
battery door.
Note: It is recommended that the battery be replaced at least once every 6 months.
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™ WITH JOLT ®
Ever have trouble getting distance to the flag? is advanced mode allows easy acquisition of the flag 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 flag that you want distance to. Next, press and hold the power button
and move the laser slowly over the flag or desired object until a circle surrounds the flag indicator. If the laser beam
recognized more than one object (i.e. flag and background trees), distance of the flag will be displayed and a circle will
surround the PinSeeker™ indicator informing the user that distance to the flag (i.e. closer object) is being displayed.
e Jolt Technology provides two short bursts of vibration to confirm that the distance displayed is to the flag. 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 flag 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 +/™
When slope is enabled by sliding the slope switch on the side of the unit up
until “SLOPE” is visible, Bushnell’s patented Slope Technology is displayed.
e Slope +/- mode will automatically compute an angle compensated range
based upon distance and slope angle determined by the laser rangefinder 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). Slide the slope switch
back down out of slope mode, and your Pro X now conforms to USGA Rule
-, with the slope angle compensated ranging feature removed.
HOW TO USE SLOPE +/™
Once in this mode, you will see a “ - - - ” in the field of view informing you that you are in the Slope +/- Mode. Press
the Power button to obtain distance to the flag or other objects. Once the range is displayed, 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.
In the example on the next page, the true distance is  yards, slope is + degrees,
and the compensated (“play-as”) range is  yards. e display would show this:

THE ADVANTAGE OF SLOPE +/™
e distance to flag A in the drawing below is  yards. It is also  yards to flag 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/flag because you did not take slope into account.
DISPLAYBRIGHTNESSV.D.T.
e Pro X has Vivid Display Technology. is bright red LED display 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 first setting within the SETUP menu.
Hold the Mode button (“B” logo on side of device) for  seconds to get into the SETUP menu. e existing
brightness setting will be flashing (i.e. BRT1, BRT2, BRT3, or BRT4). Pressing the Mode (“B” logo) button will toggle
between the four brightness settings. “BRT1” is the lowest intensity while “BRT4” is the brightest. Simply press the
Mode button until the desired brightness setting is displayed, then press and release the Power button to save the
setting.

UNIT OF MEASURE OPTIONS
e Pro X can be used to measure distances in yards or meters. e
unit of measure indicators are located in the lower right portion of
the display. 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” logo) and hold it down for
approximately  seconds to get into the SETUP menu. Brief presses
of the Mode button will toggle through the brightness settings if
the bright red LED display is selected. Press the Power button to go
to the Unit of Measure options, and again briefly press the Mode
button to select your preference. A change in unit of measure will be
indicated by the illumination of the Mfor meter indicator while the
Yfor Yard indicator is turned off. If you are changing from meters to
yards, the opposite will occur. e Pro X will return to the last unit
of measure setting used each time the unit is turned on.
E.S.P.™ ON/OFF
e Pro X distance readout to a tenth of a yard/meter (E.S.P. feature) can be enabled/disabled per user preference.
With “ESP O” selected (E.S.P. disabled), distances will be indicated only in whole yards/meters. With“ESP On”
selected (E.S.P. enabled), distances will be indicated to a tenth of a yard/meter.

CLEANING
Gently blow away any dust or debris on the lenses (or use a soft lens brush). To remove dirt or fingerprints, 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 fluid or isopropyl alcohol may be used. Always apply the fluid to the cleaning cloth – never directly on the lens.
