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-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 Pro X™ 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 Pro X™, 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 10 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.
ADJUSTING THE EYEPIECE
Your Pro X™ is constructed with a twist-up eyepiece designed for comfort and to exclude extraneous light. For users
without eyeglasses, rotate the eyecup counter clockwise while pulling up until it locks into the fully “up” position. e
Pro X™ 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. To lower the eyecup from the full “up”
position, rotate clockwise while pushing down slightly. It is also possible to set the eyecup to positions “In between”,
fully up and full down, which may suit some individuals better. e Pro X™ is also equipped with an adjustable
eyepiece (+/-  Diopter Adjustment) that allows one to focus the VDT™ display relative to the image. Simply rotate
the diopter setting until the VDT™ is in focus.

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  (Pro X™ Slope +/-™). 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 (Model 201401 only)
e Pro X™ 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 +/-™
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.
THE TRUTH ABOUT SLOPES
Trying to determine slope angle with the naked eye can be rather deceiving. Most are not well versed to accurately determine
slope angle. For example, most golf courses average slope is approximately  degrees. A large slope at a golf course is generally
no more than  degrees. Of course this can vary, and that is why this device will measure slope from - to  degrees.
Some real world examples may help clarify. A moderate roof pitch is /, which means that the roof rises six inches
for every  inch horizontal distance. at equates to . degrees. You can scramble up this pitch when hanging
Christmas lights, but climbing that slope for the distance of a good golf shot on a course would be exhausting. To
retrieve a  yards shot, you would climb  feet up!

Golf Example: Let’s say you are a strong golfer with a  yard shot. At a  degree slope the Pin would be  feet
above you. In other words, you be driving the ball to the top of a  story building!!!
NOTE: For your convenience, the Slope +/-™Mode also contains the PinSeeker®Mode/feature.
MENU SETUP
DISPLAY BRIGHTNESS
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 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 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 (left side of the eyepiece) 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 Pro X™ will return to the last unit of measure setting
used each time the unit is turned on.

11
ENABLING JOLT FEATURE
e Pro X™ 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. is Jolt feature may be disabled in the setup menu. Holding the mode button will put the unit into the
setup mode. e Jolt enable/disable is the third option, after the brightness setting and yard/meter selection. Pressing
the re button when the display indicates “JLT on” will enable the Jolt feature. Pressing the re button when the
display indicates “JLT o: will disable the Jolt feature. In the settings mode the mode button toggles between “JLT
on” and “JLT o”.
