Congratulations on your purchase of the Bushnell® Scout™1000 ARC™ Laser Rangefinder. The
Scout™1000 ARC is a precision Laser Rangefinding optical instrument designed to provide many years
of enjoyment. This booklet will help you achieve optimum performance by explaining its adjustments and
features as well as how to care for this device. To ensure optimal performance and longevity, please read
these instructions before using your Scout™1000 ARC laser rangefinder.

HOW OUR DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY WORKS
The Scout™1000 ARC™ emits invisible, eye safe, infrared energy pulses. The Scout ™ 1000‘s 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
The ranging accuracy of the Scout™1000 is plus or minus one yard / meter under most circumstances.
The maximum range of the instrument depends on the reflectivity of the target. The maximum distance for
most objects is 650 yards / 594 meters while for highly reflective objects the maximum is 1000 yards /
914 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. White 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.

GETTING STARTED
INSERTING THE BATTERY
Remove the battery cap with a coin by rotating the cap counter clockwise and insert a 3-volt lithium
battery into the compartment positive end first, then replace the battery cap.
NOTE: It is recommended that the battery be replaced at least once every 12 months.
Low Battery Indicator: If the “ ” is displayed within the in-view readout, this means “low battery”
or battery charge is getting low and the 3-volt lithium battery should be replaced.

ADJUSTING THE EYEPIECE
Your Scout™ 1000 is constructed with an adjustable eyepiece (+/- 2 Diopter Adjustment) that allows one
to focus the LCD display relative to the image. For users without eyeglasses, simply rotate the eyepiece
until the reticle and object distanced to are in focus to your eye. If you wear glasses, make sure the
eyecup is folded in the down position as this will bring your eye closer the eyepiece lens allowing you to
see a full field of view and then rotate the eyepiece until the reticle and object distanced to are in focus
to your eye.
OPERATIONAL SUMMARY
While looking through the 5x eyepiece, depress the power button once to activate the in-view Liquid
Crystal Display (LCD). 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 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. The 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 LCD will remain active and display the last distance
measurement for 30 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 10 seconds. To re-fire,
press the button down again.
LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY (LCD) INDICATORS
Your Scout™ 1000 LCD incorporates illuminated indicators that advise the user unit of measure, when
the laser is actively firing, when a target has been acquired, and targeting modes. A summary of these
features is presented below:

UNIT OF MEASURE OPTIONS
The Scout™ 1000 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, press and release
the POWER button to turn on the unit (on top of the unit), look through the eyepiece, depress the “MODE”
button (left side of the unit) and hold it down for approximately 5 seconds. The word “SETUP” will
appear at the top if the LCD display and the current unit of measure, “Y” for yards or “M” for Meters will
flash in the LCD and the SETUP icon will still be displayed. Pressing the MODE button will toggle the unit
of measure.
When the desired unit of measure is displayed, press the POWER button to accept the unit of measure
and to return to the normal operating menu. The Scout™ 1000 will return to the last unit of measure
setting used each time the unit is turned on.
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 (i.e. the laser is no longer being transmitted).

SELECTIVE TARGETING™ MODES
The Scout™ 1000 was especially designed with hunters in mind. The selective targeting modes allow you
to adjust the performance parameters of the unit to suit your specific situation and environment. To move
from one mode to another, press the POWER button once to turn on the unit. While looking through the
eyepiece, press the MODE button and quickly release. The different targeting modes available and mode
indicators are listed below:
Standard with Automatic SCAN (LCD Indicator – none) This setting allows
most targets to be distanced up to 1000 yards. Used for moderately reflective
targets that are typical of most distancing situations. The minimum distance
in the standard mode is 5 yards. To use the Automatic SCAN feature, simply
hold down on the POWER button for approximately 3 seconds and move the
rangefinder from object to object while leaving the POWER button depressed.
Automatic SCAN will allow the range to be continuously updated as multiple
objects are targeted.
BullsEye™ (LCD Indicator - ) This advanced mode allows easy acquisition of
small targets and game without inadvertently getting distances to background
targets that have stronger signal strength. When more than one object has
been acquired, distance of the closer object will be displayed and a crosshair
will surround the BullsEye™ indicator informing the user that distance to the
closer object is being displayed in the LCD.

Once in this mode, press the POWER button to turn the unit on. Next, align the aiming circle onto the
object (i.e. deer) that you want distance to. Next, press and hold the POWER button and move the laser
slowly over the deer until crosshairs surround the BullsEye indicator. If the laser beam recognized more
than one object (i.e. deer and background trees), distance of the closer object (i.e. deer) will be displayed
and crosshairs will surround the BullsEye indicator informing the user that distance to the closer object
is being displayed in the LCD (Figure 1). There 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, crosshairs will not surround the BullsEye indicator.
