IMPORTANT INFORMATION
READ PRIOR TO ACTIVATION
You have just purchased a sophisticated electro-optical
device that emits invisible laser radiation. To operate it
properly, please read this manual carefully.
NEVER direct laser beam at the eyes of people or
animals
NEVER aim the unit at the Sun or bright sources of
light
NEVER subject the unit to impacts
NEVER transport the unit without its case
NEVER disassemble the unit. This may be hazardous
for you due to high voltage currents in the system
NEVER aim the unit at highly reflective objects like
mirrors and retroreflective surfaces, which are in close
proximity to the laser rangefinder. This can lead to the
permanent damage of the photoreceiver incorporated
into the device.

ALWAYS keep the unit out of children’s reach
ALWAYS remove the battery when the device is not
in use for a long period
ALWAYS store in a dry place
CAUTION - use of controls or adjustments, or
performance of procedures other than those specified
herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure
CAUTION - use of optical instruments such as
binoculars, loupes, mirrors, lenses, etc. with this
product increases eye hazard
NOTE: Avoid eye exposure to direct laser beam or its
close reflection
NOTE: Prevent bright light from focusing through the
eyepieces
WARNING!
CAREFULLY READ ALL THE
INSTRUCTIONS PRIOR TO USE!
FAILURE TO OBEY THE INSTRUCTIONS
WILL VOID THE WARRANTY AND MAY
CAUSE INJURY!

1. BRIEF DESCRIPTION
LRB 4000CI Laser Rangefinder Binoculars (System) is
an advanced laser range finder system that enables instant
distance, speed, vertical and horizontal angular
measurements. An outstanding optics provides a sharp,
clear image under any observation conditions.
The unit utilises time-of-flight method of distance and
speed measurement. The System sends invisible, eye
safe laser pulses to the target. The returned pulses are
captured by the digital circuitry. The time difference is
used to calculate the distance to the target. A built-in
digital compass measures an angle between the optical
axis and direction to the magnetic North Pole.
The unit complies with CFR 21, Part 1040.10 and Part
1040.11.
A built-in inclinometer allows elevation angle
measurements and height (depth) calculations.
