HOW OUR DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY WORKS
The TOUR V4 SHIFT WITH PINSEEKER emits invisible, eye safe, infrared energy pulses. The TOUR V4 SHIFT’s
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
The ranging accuracy of the TOUR V4 SHIFT is plus or minus one yard/meter under most circumstances. The
maximum range of the instrument depends on the reectivity of the target. The maximum distance for most
objects is 700 yards/640 meters while for highly reective objects the maximum is 1000 yards/914 meters.
Note: You will get both longer and shorter maximum distances depending on the reective properties of the particular target and the
environmental conditions at the time the distance of an object is being measured.
The color, surface nish, size and shape of the target all aect reectivity and range.The brighter the color, the
longer the range. Red is highly reective, for example, and allows longer ranges than the color black, which
is the least reective color. A shiny nish provides more range than a dull one. A small target is more dicult
to range than a larger target. The angle to the target also has an eect. Shooting to a target at a 90 degree
angle (where the target surface is perpendicular to the ight 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 aect 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
REPLACING THE BATTERY
Your TOUR V4 SHIFT comes with a battery already installed, so it’s ready to use right away. To replace the
battery, remove the battery cap by lifting the battery cap tab and then rotating counter clockwise. Insert a
CR-2 3-volt lithium battery into the compartment negative end rst, then replace the battery cap.
NOTE: It is recommended that the battery be replaced at least once every 12 months.
Low Battery Indicator: When one bar is shown on the battery icon, the battery is low and should be replaced.
If the battery goes below the safe operating level (aecting accuracy of readings), the battery icon will ash
and the unit will not range. Full Charge LowBattery
ADJUSTING THE EYEPIECE
Your TOUR V4 SHIFT is constructed with an adjustable eyepiece (+/- 3 Diopter Adjustment) that allows one to
focus the LCD display relative to the image. Simply rotate the eyepiece until the reticle and object distanced
to are both in focus to your eye.
OPERATIONAL SUMMARY
While looking through the 5x eyepiece, depress the POWER/FIRE button once to activate the in-view Liquid
Crystal Display (LCD). Place the aiming circle (located in the center of the eld of view) upon a target at
least 5 yards away, depress and hold the POWER/FIRE 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/FIRE button. The crosshairs
surrounding the aiming circle will disappear once the POWER/FIRE 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 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
magnied lenses. The maximum time the laser is transmitted (red) is 5 seconds. To re-re, press the POWER/
FIRE button down again.
LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY (LCD) INDICATORS
Your TOUR V4 SHIFT ’s LCD incorporates illuminated icons or symbols that indicate the selected unit of
measure, when the laser is actively ring, when a target has been acquired, and targeting modes. A summary
of these features follows:
MODE and UNIT OF MEASURE OPTIONS
The TOUR V4 SHIFT 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 (starting with unit powered
o), press and hold the POWER/FIRE button. After 7 seconds, the display will begin to cycle through the
options: Yards or Meters (for details on the Slope feature, see “About Tour V4 Shift with Slope Technology”). When
the units you want to use are displayed, release the POWER/FIRE button to select it. 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.
The TOUR V4 SHIFT 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/FIRE button. The crosshairs surrounding the circle will disappear once
the POWER/FIRE button has been released (i.e. the laser is no longer being transmitted).

PinSeeker (LCD Indicator - ) Ever have trouble getting distance to the ag? This advanced mode allows easy
nces to background targets (i.e. trees) that haveacquisition of the ag without inadvertently getting dista
stronger signal strength.
Press the POWER/FIRE button to turn the unit on. Next, align the aiming circle reticle onto the ag that you
want distance to. Then, press and hold the POWER/FIRE 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 LCD (as seen below). 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, a circle will not surround
the ag indicator.
TIP: While pressing the POWER/FIRE 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.
About JOLT
The JOLT feature provides a vibration signal (similar to setting a cell phone to
“vibrate”) that will be felt when the Pinseeker technology indicates the ag has
been detected and the distance to it is displayed in the LCD.

About TOUR V4 SHIFT with Slope Technology
The advanced and patented slope technology found on the Tour V4™ Shift features a built-in accelerometer-
based inclinometer that digitally displays the exact slope angle from -20 to +20 degrees of elevation. The
Tour V4 Shift will automatically compute an angle compensated range based upon distance and slope angle
determined by the laser rangender and built-in inclinometer. This data is then combined with internal
algorithmic formulas dealing with average club use and ball trajectories. The angle compensated range
provides direction on how to play the shot (i.e. add distance if an incline, subtract distance if a decline).
HOW TO USE SLOPE +/™
The Tour V4 Shift makes changing in and out of slope easier than ever.
To utilize the slope function, simply slide the Tour V4 Shift logo so that
“Slope Edition”is visible. To make the device conforming again, simply
move the logo down.
OBTAINING SLOPE YARDAGES +/
Once in “Slope” mode, simply hold the POWER button down while
holding the aiming circle on the ag and keeping the unit as steady
as possible. Once the distance is displayed, release the POWER button.
Once you have released the power button, a degree of angle and
compensated range will be displayed.

The Advantage of Slope Technology
The distance to ag A in the drawing below is 162 yards. It is also 162 yards to ag B although it is on a slope.
However, if you were to play this hole as 162 yards, the ball (X) would fall short of the hole/ag because you did
not take slope into account. The compensated distance would be longer. In this example, the compensated
distance would be 173 yards. If Slope is enabled, the display would show 162y in the upper (large) digits. The
lower (smaller) digits would alternate between the angle (4o) and the compensated distance (173y).
OPTICAL DESIGN
Magnication and Coatings
The TOUR V4 SHIFT features 5x magnication and Multi-Coated optics. A liquid crystal display (LCD) is
mounted within the optical system and when activated, displays a reticle for targeting, yards/meters, and
Mode indicators. Inherent in the manufacturing process are small black spots that appear in the optical
system. These are a natural characteristic of the LCD and cannot be fully eliminated in the manufacturing
process. They do not aect the distancing performance of the unit.

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 or microber 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.
