SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (Laser)
The Nikon Laser Rangefinder uses an
invisible laser beam. Be sure to
observe the following:
Warning
• Do not depress the POWER ON/
Measurement button while
looking into the optics from the
objective side. Failure to do this may
negatively affect or damage your
eyes.
• Do not aim at the eye.
• Do not point the laser at people.
• Do not look at the laser with another
optical instrument such as through
lenses or binoculars, nor with the
naked eye. This may result in damage
to the eyes.
• When not measuring, please keep
your fingers away from the POWER
ON/Measurement button to avoid
accidentally emitting the laser beam.
• When not in use for an extended
period, please remove the battery
from the body.
• Do not disassemble/remodel/repair
the Nikon Laser Rangefinder. The
emitting laser may be harmful to
your health. A product that has been
disassembled/remodeled/repaired is
not guaranteed by the manufacturer.
• Keep the Nikon Laser Rangefinder
out of reach of children when
stored.
• If the Nikon Laser Rangefinder’s
body cover is damaged, or if it
emits a strange sound due to
dropping or some other cause,
remove the battery immediately
and stop using.

intense light or the laser beam
when using the Nikon Laser
Rangefinder.
Cautions
• When not using the Nikon Laser

Storage
• Water condensation or mold may
occur on the lens surface because of
high humidity. Therefore, store the
Nikon Laser Rangefinder in a cool,
dry place.
After use on a rainy day or at night,
thoroughly dry it at room
temperature, then store in a cool,
dry place.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Lenses
• When removing dust on the lens
surface, use a soft oil-free brush.
• When removing stains or smudges
like fingerprints from the lens
surface, wipe the lenses very gently
with a soft clean cotton cloth or
quality oil-free lens tissue. Use a
small quantity of pure alcohol (not
denatured) to wipe stubborn
smudges. Do not use velvet cloth or
ordinary tissue, as it may scratch the
lens surface. Once the cloth has
been used for cleaning the body, it
should not be used again for the
lens surface.
Main body
• Clean the body surface with a soft,
clean cloth after blowing away dust
with a blower* lightly. Do not use
benzene, thinner, or other cleaners
containing organic solvents.
* A blower is rubber cleaning
equipment that blows air from a
nozzle.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Cautions
• The Nikon Laser Rangefinder is not
designed for use underwater.
• Rain, water, sand and mud should
be removed from the rangefinder
body surface as soon as possible,
using a soft, clean cloth.
• Do not leave the Nikon Laser
Rangefinder in a car on a hot or
sunny day, or near heat-generating
equipment. This may damage or
negatively affect it.
• Do not leave the Nikon Laser
Rangefinder in direct sunlight.
Ultraviolet rays and excessive heat
may negatively affect or even
damage the unit.
• If the Nikon Laser Rangefinder is
exposed to sudden changes in
temperature, water condensation
may occur on lens surfaces. Do
not use the product until the
condensation has evaporated.

• Measurement range: 5-500 meters/6-550 yards
• High-quality 6x finder with multilayer coating
• Distant Target Priority mode is employed
• Sustained pressing of the POWER ON/Measurement
button activates continuous measurement function
• Automatic power shut-off (after approx. 8 sec.
unoperated)
• Default to“Last Use” settings
• Rainproof — JIS/IEC protection class 4 (IPX4)
equivalent (under our testing condtions)
• Invisible/Eyesafe EN/IEC Class 1M Laser
The Nikon Laser Rangefinder uses an invisible
laser beam for measuring. It measures the time the
laser beam takes to travel from the rangefinder
to the target and back. Laser reflectivity and
measurement results may vary according to climatic
and environmental conditions, as well as the color,
surface finish, size, shape and other characteristics
of the target.
The following conditions makes measuring easier:
• Cloudy weather
• Bright-colored target
• Target with highly reflective surface
• Large-size target
• When laser incident angle to the target is close to 90
degrees
Measurement may result in inaccuracy or failure in
the following cases:
• Target has small or slender reflective surface
• Target has diffusing reflective surface
• Target does not reflect the laser beam to the
rangefinder
• Target has totally reflective surface (glass, mirror,
etc.)
• Black target
• Target has stepped surface
• In snow, rain or fog
• Target measured through glass
• Reflective surface measured from diagonal direction
• Moving or vibrating target
• Obstacle cutting across in front of the target
• When measuring the surface of water
