Leupold PinCaddie 2 User manual

• Do not depress the POWER button while aiming at
a human eye or while looking into the optics from
the objective side
• Do not leave the rangefinder within the reach of
small children
• Do not take the product apart as it has a self-
protection device in the electronic control module
and may cause an electric shock
• Do not attempt to use any power source other than a 3V Lithium CR2
battery — the PinCaddie 2 rangefinder is designed to prohibit accessing
any other external power supply
• Read this instruction manual in its entirety before using this rangefinder.
If the product is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the
protection provided by the equipment may be impaired
Caution: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of
procedures other than those specified herein may result in
hazardous laser radiation exposure
PinCaddie 2 Features at a Glance

• Measuring Time: Less than 1 second
• Auto Power O after 5 seconds
• Power: 3V Lithium CR2 battery
• Battery Life: At least 5,000 actuations

To insert a new battery, remove battery cover (shown in diagram) and remove
exhausted battery. Insert new CR-2 battery, negative terminal first, into the
battery compartment. Close battery cover.
To focus the digital laser rangefinder, turn
the eyepiece left or right (you will feel and
hear the clicking of the diopter, indicating
a change to the focus has been made) until
crisp focus is achieved.
The PinCaddie 2 is equipped with a lanyard
attachment for added security in the field.
Surface texture, color, size, and shape of the target all affect reflectivity, which
in turn affects the maximum range of the instrument. As a rule of thumb,
brightly colored targets are much more reflective than darker targets. A
shiny surface is more reflective than a dull surface. Smaller targets are more
difficult to range than larger targets. Light conditions, haze, fog, rain, and
other environmental conditions can all affect ranging performance. Any factor
which degrades air clarity will reduce the maximum effective range. The sun
generates infrared energy that can degrade ranging performance in bright
conditions or when ranging towards the sun.
Unit Output
The PinCaddie 2 can be set to give distances in either yards
or meters.
To change the unit of measure, with the PinCaddie
2 powered OFF, push and hold the power button for
approximately 10 seconds. The unit of measure will toggle
from yards to meters or vice versa.
To change the unit back, allow the rangefinder to power
OFF and repeat the step above. NOTE: the reticle will not be
displayed during unit selection.
PinCaddie 2 Specifications
Battery Power Status Indicator
To determine your battery’s power level, look for the
following indicators:
FULL – Between full power and half power no battery status
indicator will be shown
HALF – A half-full bar indicates your battery has reached
half-capacity.
NO POWER – If the battery bar is empty, and there is no data
displayed above the bar, your battery is dead and you must replace it.
The battery status bar will flash and the unit will shut down when no
power remains.
Operation
Measuring Distance With The PinCaddie
Measurement of distance with the PinCaddie 2 is a very simple operation:
• View the object of interest through the monocular
• Depress the POWER button to power up the unit
• Align the reticle over the object being viewed
• Depress the POWER button again – this will cause the laser to activate
• Read the distance as shown in the image field
Continuous Measurement Of a Target -
Scan Mode:
• Follow the instructions for “Measuring Distance…” as explained previously
• Once the target has been measured, continue to hold down the POWER
button and follow the object
• The distance will automatically update as long as the POWER button is
continuously depressed
• This procedure can also be used to obtain the range of multiple objects;
simply move the reticle from one target to another while holding down the
POWER button
Clearing The Last Distance Obtained:
The last range reading does not need to be cleared before reading another
object’s distance. Simply aim at the new object using the reticle, depress the
POWER button and hold until the new range reading is displayed.

PinCaddie®2Digital Laser
Rangefinder
Introduction
Congratulations! You have purchased a Leupold PinCaddie 2 digital laser
rangefinder that has been designed by Leupold’s engineers and designers to
be the best golf rangefinder in its category, and to provide you with years of
solid performance on the course. Following are detailed instructions regarding
the proper use and employment of your PinCaddie 2 rangefinder. To ensure
top performance for the life of the product, please read these instructions
before operating your PinCaddie 2 rangefinder.
Your new Leupold PinCaddie 2 rangefinder is a rangefinding device that
incorporates advanced digital electronics. The PinCaddie 2 features include
yards/meters measurement options, and scan mode.
How The PinCaddie 2 Works
The PinCaddie 2 is a top-quality 6x20mm monocular that incorporates the
additional benefit of a state-of-the-art laser rangefinder capable of measuring
the distance to the pin from 5 yards to 300 yards, an inanimate object from
5 yards to 600 yards, and a reflective target from 5 yards to 650 yards. The
rangefinder emits a series of invisible, infrared energy pulses that are reflected
off the selected target back to the optical unit. State-of-the-art circuitry and
precision computing circuits are used to calculate the distance by measuring
the time it takes for each pulse to travel from the PinCaddie 2 to the object
and back.
Safety and Operation Precautions
The Leupold PinCaddie 2 6x20mm rangefinder employs an eye-safe
FDA Class 1 and IEC Class 3R laser in its operation. Even so, there are a
few precautions that are important to remember:
• When you see this display through the eyepiece, please be aware that the
product is active and emitting an invisible laser and the laser aperture
should not be pointed toward anyone
• The unit will produce an audible click when activated to notify the user that
the rangefinder is emitting an invisible laser

Cleaning/Maintenance
Blow away dust or debris on lenses, or use a soft lens brush (such as the one
found on the Leupold LensPen). To remove fingerprints, water spots or tougher
dirt, use a soft cotton cloth or the cleaning end of the Leupold LensPen. A lens
tissue with lens cleaning fluid may be used for more stubborn dirt. Always
apply cleaning fluid to the cleaning cloth, never directly to the lens.
Helpful Hints For Using The Leupold
PinCaddie 2
Rangefinder does not provide range.
• Make sure that the POWER button is being depressed
• Make sure that nothing, such as your hand or finger, is blocking the lenses
— as this could interfere with the emission and reception of the laser pulses
• Make sure unit is held steadily while depressing the
POWER button
• Make sure the target is at least 5 yards away
• Target may be beyond maximum distance
