Your CABELA’S VLR by BUSHNELL® is a precision instrument designed to provide many years of enjoyment. This booklet will help you achieve optimum performance by explaining its adjustments and features as well as how to care for this precise laser rangefinding instrument. To ensure optimal performance and longevity, please read these instructions before using your Cabela’s VLR. INTRODUCTION Your CABELA’S VLR is a very compact advanced laser rangefinder. Using Digital Technology and measuring a mere 1.5x4x2.
reflective properties of the particular target and the environmental conditions at the time the object is being distanced to. The color, surface finish, size and shape of the target all affect reflectivity and range. The brighter the color, the longer the range. Red is highly reflective, for example, and allows longer ranges than the color black, which is the least reflective color. A shiny finish provides more range than a dull one. A small target is more difficult to range than a larger target.
FEATURES The CABELA’S VLR’s sophisticated digital technology allows you to select between various units of measure and targeting modes. In addition, your CABELA’S VLR’s LCD incorporates illuminated indicators that advise you when the laser is active and when the battery charge is low. A summary of these features is presented below: UNIT OF MEASURE OPTIONS The CABELA’S VLR can be used to measure distances in yards or meters. The unit of measure indicators are located in the upper right portion of the LCD.
SCAN (LCD Indicator - “SCAN”): When the Power button is held down longer than 3 seconds, the unit transitions to SCAN mode. This mode allows the range to be continuously updated as long as the Power button remains depressed. The word “SCAN” will blink and appear in the left side of the LCD once this mode is activated. >150 (LCD Indicator - “>150”): This mode can be used to ignore energy pulses reflecting off objects less than 150 - 165 yards / meters away.
SPECIFICATIONS OPTICAL DESIGN The CABELA’S VLR features a Perma Focus® monocular optical system for viewing your target. A liquid crystal display (LCD) is mounted within the optical system and when activated, displays a reticle for targeting, yard / meter and mode designations, and low battery indicators. Inherent in the manufacturing process are small black spots that appear in the optical system.
CLEANING Gently blow away any dust or debris on the lenses (or use a soft lens brush). To remove dirt or fingerprints, clean with a soft cotton cloth, rubbing in a circular motion. Use of a coarse cloth or unnecessary rubbing may scratch the lens surface and eventually cause permanent damage. For a more thorough cleaning, photographic lens tissue and photographic-type lens cleaning fluid or isopropyl alcohol may be used. Always apply the fluid to the cleaning cloth - never directly on the lens.
If target range cannot be obtained: • Make sure LCD is illuminated. • Make sure that the power button is being depressed (as opposed to mode button). • Make sure that nothing, such as your hand or finger, is blocking the objective lenses (lenses closest to the target) that emit and receive the laser pulses. • Make sure unit is held steady while depressing power button. • Make sure that the targeting mode selected is the appropriate mode for that specific situation or environment.
