HOW OUR DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY WORKS
e Tour® X Jolt® emits invisible, eye safe, infrared energy pulses. e Tour® X 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® X 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® X Jolt®, depress the power button once to activate the 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
e Tour® X Jolt® 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 Tour® X Jolt® features Dual Display Technology, which lets you easily toggle between a
bright red display featuring VDT or a crisp black display, based on lighting conditions or your
preference. To select the red display, position the switch below the eyepiece so the red indicator
is visible. To select the black display, position the switch so the black indicator is visible.

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 rst, 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 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.
e Jolt Technology provides two short bursts of vibration to conrm that the distance displayed is to the ag. 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 +/-™
When the red faceplate is attached, 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 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).
Switch to the black faceplate, and your Tour® X Jolt® 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 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.
In the example on the next page, the true distance is  yards, slope is + degrees, and the compensated (“play-as”)
range is  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.

DISPLAY BRIGHTNESS
e 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 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® X 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 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” 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 the bright red LED display is selected. 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® X Jolt® will return
to the last unit of measure setting used each time the unit is turned on.
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.

• Check and if necessary, replace battery. If unit does not respond to key presses, replace the battery with a good
quality CR -volt Lithium battery.
• Ensure the display is on the brightest setting while in sunlight. While pressing Power Button, cover the objective
lenses to determine if the display is on. See the display brightness setting instructions (pg. 9).
If unit powers down (display goes blank when attempting to power the laser) :
• e battery is either weak or low quality. Replace the battery with a good quality CR -volt Lithium battery.
If target range cannot be obtained :
• Make sure display is illuminated.
• Make sure that the power button is being depressed.
• Make sure that nothing, such as your hand or nger, is blocking the objective lenses (lenses closest to the target)
that emit and receive the laser pulses.
• Make sure unit is held steady while depressing power button.
