The TecTecTec ! VPRO500S Rangefinder
uses eye-safe beams to measure the
distance to objects up to 540 yards
away, by measuring the time it takes
for the laser pulse to reflect o of the
target and return.
In addition to golfing, the rangefinder
can be used for hunting, and surveying
equipment for architectural and outdoor
projects. Weather conditions, along with
the size, shape, surface, and color of the
target can aect performance. Holding
the rangefinder steady is essential to
getting an accurate reading.
Press the power button
to turn on the rangefinder
and look through the
eyepiece to verify the LCD
screen is on. To bring the
magnified view into focus,
look through the eyepiece
and adjust the diopter by
turning the eyepiece to
the left or right.

"Normal Mode" will allow you to find
the exact distance quickly. Use Normal
Mode when you are measuring the
distance to an area or a flag that is
clearly defined with a simple background.
Golfers tell us that they prefer Normal
Mode for targets within 150 yards.
Aim the object whose distance you
want to calculate.
1
Press the Power Button once
briefly while aiming at a target, such
as a bunker. The display screen will
show the distance. After taking a
measurement, press "Power" again
to find the distance to a new target.

Use "Scan Mode" while in "Normal Mode"
just by holding down the Power Button
when determining the distance to
hazards and when you want to have a
comprehensive understanding of multiple
distances on the course. Use Scan
Mode when it’s windy and for targets
surrounded by background objects.
The word "SCAN" appears on screen.
SCAN MODE
Hold the Power Button for
8 seconds. At the same time, sweep
the rangefinder from object to object.

The rangefinder
will lock onto
the nearest
target (the flag)
and display
the distance.
NOTE It is important not to pan too far because the
rangefinder may "lock" onto an object in the closest
distance that is not your intended target.
Use "Pin Seeker Mode" (to find the
closest vertical object) the distance to
a flagstick on a green with woods in the
background; as well as when measuring
overlapping targets. It is also good to
use on a windy day. The locking function
allows you to confidently take your shot.
PIN SEEKER MODE
Press the Mode Button briefly
to see a flag icon on the display
which indicates that you are in
Pin Seeker Mode.

Use "Slope Mode" to obtain the distance
to the closest object when multiple objects
are detected and also corrects for the angle.
(This mode is also known as the "Closest
Distance Object Priority Function").
SLOPE MODE

Aim the object whose distance you
want to calculate and press the Power
Button while aiming at a target.

When storing the rangefinder
for periods longer than 30 days,
remove the battery first to
avoid corrosion.
