the
fact
that
any
improper
use
ignoring
the

SAFETY
AND
OPERATION
PRECAUTIONS
&Warning
• Never lookdirectly at the laser beam
or directly at the sun when using
the
Nikon Callaway
iQ.
• Do
not
depress the
POWER
button
while looking into the optics from the
6
objective side.
• Do
not
aim at the
eye.
• Do
not
operate the
unit
with
other
additional optical elements, such
as
lenses or binoculars. Using
an
optical
instrument together
with
the Nikon
Callaway
iQ
increases the danger
of
damaging the
eyes.
• Do
not
disassemble the Nikon
Callaway
iQ.
The
emitting
laser may
be harmful
to
your health. A product
that
has
been disassembled
is
not
guaranteed by the manufacturer.
• If
the
Nikon Callaway
iQ's
body cover
is
damaged, or
if
it
emits a strange
sound due
to
dropping or for some
other
cause,
immediately remove the
battery and stop using.
&Cautions
• When
not
using the Nikon Callaway
iQ,
do
not
push the
POWER
button.
• Do
not
leave the Nikon Callaway
iQ
within
the reach
of
small children.
•
Rain,
water, sand and mud should be
removed from the rangefinder body
surface
as
soon
as
possible, using a
soft, clean, drycloth.
• Although the Nikon Callaway
iQ
is
waterproof,
it
is
not
designed for
use
underwater.
• Do
not
swing the Nikon Callaway
iQ
by
its strap. It may
hit
someone and cause
injury.
• Do
not
leave the Nikon Callaway
iQ
in
an
unstable place,
as
it
may fall
and cause injury, or damage the
equipment.
• Do
not
look through the Nikon
Callaway
iQ
while walking.
You
may
walk into something and
get
hurt.
• Do
not
leave
the
Nikon Callaway
iQ
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 Callaway
iQ
in
direct sunlight. Ultraviolet
rays
and
excessive heat may negatively affect
or even damage
the
unit.
• When the Nikon Callaway
iQ
is
exposed
to
sudden changes in
temperature, water condensation may
occur on lens surfaces. Do
not
use
the
product until the condensation
has
evaporated.
• Do
not
use
alcohol for cleaning
the
main body.
• Do
not
leave the polyethylene bag
used for packaging
within
the reach
of
small children.
•
Be
careful that small children
do
not
inadvertently swallow the eyecup.
If
it
does happen, consult a
doctor
immediately.

•
If
you
use
the rubber eyecup for a
long period
of
time, you may suffer
skin inflammation. Ifyou develop
any symptoms, consult adoctor
immediately.
• When carrying the Nikon Callaway
iQ,
store
it
in the soft
case.
•
If
your Nikon Callaway
iQ
should fail
to
operate correctly, discontinue
use
immediately and consult the
Troubleshooting Table. Ifyou
are
unable
to
fix the problem, contact
your local dealer for instructions on
where to send it for repair.
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 and a
dry
cloth. Do
not
use
benzene, thinner, or other organic
agents because they may cause
discoloration or rubber degeneration.
Storage
• Water condensation or mold may
occur on
the
lens surface because
of
high humidity.Therefore, store the
Nikon Callaway
iQ
in acool,
dry
place.
After
use
on a rainy day or at night,
thoroughly
dry
it at room
temperature, then store in acool,
dry
place.

• Approx. 5-second continuous measuring
function
The Nikon Callaway
iQ
emits invisible, eyesafe, infrared energy
pulses that reflect
off
the selected target back
to
its optical receiver.
Sophisticated precision charge circuitry
is
used
to
instantaneously
calculate distances, by measuring the time
it
takes for each pulse
to
travel from
the
rangefinder
to
the target and back.
Laser
reflectivity
and measurement results may vary according
to
climatic and
environmental conditions, the colour, surface finish,
size,
shape and
other characteristics
of
the target.

The following factors ensure better range and accuracy:
•
Night
time
use
• Cloudy weather
• Bright-coloured targets
• Targets
with
highly
reflective surfaces
• Targets
with
shiny exteriors
• Large-size targets
• Shooting targets facing at 90 degrees
Measurement may result in inaccuracy or failure in the following
cases:
• Slender or small target
• Target
has
diffusing reflective surface
• Target does
not
reflect the laser beam
to
the
rangefinder (glass, mirror, etc.)
• Black target
• Target
has
varying depths
• In snow, rain or fog
• Target measured
through
glass
• Reflective surface measured from diagonal direction
• Moving target
• Obstacle
moving
in
front
of
the
target
• When targeting the surface

6. Active Brightness Control Viewfinder
Active Brightness Control Viewfinder detects
light conditions of
the ground area mainly in the view field and, when necessary,
automatically turns on
the orange LED illumination.
The brightness
of the orange illumination is adjusted
automatically according
to the light conditions.
Although the
LCD was produced using the mostadvanced
technology, it
is impossible to eliminate dust completely. When
using this product, the
LCD is magnified by high magnification
of the eyepiece lens and dust may appear as adefect. Itwill not,
however, affect measurement accuracy.
Caution- use of controls or adjustments or
performance
of procedures otherthan those
specified herein may result in hazardous radiation
exposure
1. Install a battery in the battery chamber. (See "Changing
Batteries")
2. Rubber eyepiece cup
Both eyeglass wearers and non-wearers
can use this
rangefinder
without attaching the rubber eyepiece cup.
3. Diopter adjustment
Adjust
diopter to obtain a clear image in the LCD.
First, rotate the diopteradjustment ring counterclockwise until
itcomes to acomplete stop. Next, turn on the power
to activate
the
LCD when you lookthrough the Nikon Callaway iQ. Rotate
the diopter adjustment ring clockwise until the display comes
into focus.
If the diopter is not adjusted to correspond to your eyesight,
you may
not be able to aim your subject.

*Waterproof models
The Nikon Callaway iQ is waterproof, and will suffer no damage to the optical system if submerged or dropped in water to a maximum depth of
1 meter for up to 10 minutes.
The Nikon Callaway iQ offers the following advantages:
• Can be used in conditions of high humidity, dust and rain without risk of damage.
• Nitrogen-filled design makes
it resistant to condensation and mold.
Observe the following when using the Nikon Callaway iQ.
• The unit should not be operated nor held in running water.
• Any moisture should
be wiped off before adjusting movable parts (eyepiece, etc.) of the Nikon Callaway iQ to prevent damage and for safety
reasons.
To keep your Nikon Callaway iQ in excellent condition, Nikon Vision recommends regular servicing by an authorized dealer.
**The battery chamber is water resistant, not waterproof. Water may enter the device if the Nikon Callaway iQ is submerged in water. Ifwater
18 enters the battery chamber, wipe
out any moisture and allow time for the chamber to dry.
