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
•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

1. BRIEF DESCRIPTION
LRB 6000CI 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.
Key Features of the LRB 6000CI Laser Rangefinder Binoculars

5. OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
Installing the battery
Open the battery compartment using a suitable tool, or a coin.
Insert a 9V Lithium non-magnetic battery provided with your device
Connect the battery to the battery snap
Refit the battery compartment and tighten the screw.
If the battery compartment cover does not close tightly and evenly, check
that the battery snap wires are neatly packed inside the battery
compartment and the cover is aligned over the edge of the battery
compartment.
Note: Battery in metal casing will diminish compass accuracy. Non-
magnetic batteries should be used for the utmost compass performance.
LRB 6000CI is equipped with battery monitoring sensor. If display
shows “LOW BATTERY” warning when battery voltage falls below

7
6.5V this indicates that the battery is used up. You can still get readings,
but the battery needs to be replaced soon.
Using the Device
The LRB 6000CI operational procedures are design to allow the user to
use most applicable options in the fastest time possible. To activate it,
press and hold Action button (6, Fig.1) for one second. At start the unit
comes into Ready to Measure mode indicated by the word ‘READY’ on
the display visible through the eyepiece.
Pressing Action button (6, Fig. 1) again will initiate measurement
procedure. The results of measurement are displayed in default form of
“Distance (M), Azimuth (mils) and Elevation (mils)” measurement
parameters also can be modified to user preference (see Setup Mode).
If results of measurement are unreliable four dashes (‘----‘) will be
displayed in the area (4, Fig. 3).
Pressing Mode button (5, Fig. 1) gives the user the options to change
settings from Factory default to specific modes required by user. For full
list of Mode options please refer to Operation and Service modes
If the target is located below the unit the result of vertical measurement
(elevation or height) will be preceded with minus (“-“) sign.
Factors affecting measuring distance
Target reflectivity depends on its color, surface finish, size, shape,
position in relation to the laser beam, etc. Bright target colors are more
reflective than darks. A polished surface is more reflective than a rough
one. Larger targets reflect better than small ones. Ranging a target
perpendicular to the laser beam provides better results than the one
positioned at a sharp angle to the beam.
Weather conditions that influence air transparency (rain, fog, snow, mist)
reduce maximum range. Bright sunny days will reduce performance as
well as IR sun radiation may cover reflected laser impulses.
While the unit will measure through many glass types, measuring
through glass may reduce accuracy.
Natural hand tremor decreases the accuracy of long distance ranging.
Using of a tripod is highly recommended.
Note: device may produce false readings when reticle is aimed at the sun
or in ± 20˚solid angle from the sun.
