FOREWORD
We wish you a great deal of enjoyment and every success with your new TERRAPIN X.
This rangefinder emits invisible infrared impulses that are harmless to the eyes and
uses an integrated microprocessor to calculate the distance to an object from the
reflected signal component. Equipped with a digital magnetic compass and inclino-
meter, it is capable to determine direction and inclination angle to the object measured.
Furthermore, it is able to calculate the equivalent horizontal range.
TERRAPIN X features an outstanding optics with 8× magnification, ensuring a reliable
observation even under difficult conditions. Plus, it is robust, easy to handle and ope-
rate.
To ensure that you get the best out of this high-quality and versatile laser rangefinder,
we recommend reading these instructions first.

reflective surfaces such as road signs, mirrors or water surfaces.
àVerify the correctness of the transmitted data.
Blinding hazard
Do not look into powerful light sources (e.g. sun) with the device. Although the product
is Class 1, do not point at others or yourself while operating the push button or while
the display is on.
