CARE AND MAINTENANCE
PRECAUTIONS
LENS
Be careful that you do not directly
touch the lens surface with your
hands when cleaning it. Remove
dust or lint with a blower*. For
fingerprints or other stains that
cannot be removed with a blower,
wipe the lens with a dry soft cloth or
cleaning cloth for eyeglasses, using a
spiral motion that starts at the center
of the lens and working towards the
edges. Wiping too firmly or wiping
with a hard material may damage
the lens. If this fails, gently wipe the
lens using a cloth lightly dampened
with commercial lens cleaner.
MAIN BODY
After gently removing dust with a
blower, clean the body surface with a
soft, clean cloth. After use at a
seaside, wipe off salt that may be on
the body surface with a damp, soft,
clean cloth, and then wipe with a dry
cloth. Do not use benzene, thinner,
or other cleaners containing organic
solvents.
STORAGE
Water condensation or mold may
occur on lens surfaces because of
high humidity. Therefore, store the
product 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.
* A rubber cleaning tool that blows
air from a nozzle.

llAbout measurement results
This device is a basic rangefinder. Its measurement results cannot be used as official evidence.
This product 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.
Measurement may be inaccurate or fail in the
following cases:
• In snow, rain or fog
• Small or slender target
• Black or dark target
• Target has stepped surface
• Moving or vibrating target
• When measuring the surface of water
• Target measured through glass
• When the target is glass or a mirror
• When laser incidence to the target’s reflective
surface is oblique

STABILIZED function
llON and OFF
The STABILIZED function is activated concurrently when the Laser Rangefinder is ON.
When the Laser Rangefinder is OFF, the STABILIZED function automatically turns off.
First Target Priority algorithm
When measuring overlapping subjects, First Target Priority algorithm displays the distance to the closest
subject.
Dual LOCKED ON (First Target Priority detection notice function)
When measuring overlapping subjects, such as a flagstick with trees in the background, and the distance
to a closest subject is displayed, LOCKED ON sign (First Target Priority detection sign)* is lit in the
viewfinder with an electronic sound (if the electronic sound setting is on).
*Single measurement: When measuring overlapping subjects and the distance to a closest subject is
displayed, the LOCKED ON sign appears with an electronic sound.
Continuous measurement: When displayed figures shift to a closer subject, the LOCKED ON sign appears
with an electronic sound.
LOCKED ON sign (First Target Priority
detection sign) is lit.
Actual Distance Indicator
When the measurement display mode is actual distance mode, the Actual Distance Indicator blinks while
the Laser Rangefinder is ON.
You can find out at a glance that the inclinometer function is not being used.
