CAREFULLY READ ALL THE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE UNIT! FAILURE TO OBEY THE INSTRUCTIONS WILL VOID THE WARRANTY AND MAY CAUSE INJURY! 1. BRIEF DESCRIPTION LRM 1200 / 1500 / 1500SPD Laser Rangefinder Monocular (the unit) is an advanced laser range finder system that enables instant distance and speed (1500SPD modification only) measurement. The unit complies with CFR 21, Part 1040.10.
Key Features Distance is displayed in meters or yards Original digital circuitry allows ranging through most types of glass, bushes and other obstacles Three channel optical solution (optical, laser and receiver) provides high accuracy Two reticle shapes: -¦- or Target quality display indicator (1200 / 1500 modifications only) assures that results are reliable On-board memory keeps results of last 10 measurements, that can be recalled to the LCD The unit automatically turns off when no butt

Changing battery To install a battery: Slide the battery compartment cover down (9, Fig. 2) Install the battery observing polarity Don’t apply superfluous strength while pushing the battery inside the compartment. Close the compartment cover If the battery does not fit the compartment easily, it means that polarity was reversed To take a battery out: Slide the battery compartment cover down (9, Fig.
Measuring procedure To start the measuring procedure, remove the lens cover. Look through the eyepiece (1, Fig. 1, 2) and adjust the focus by its rotating. When the Rangefinder is off the LCD is blank. To activate it press and hold A button (6, Fig. 1) for half a second. At start the unit comes into Ready to Measure mode indicated by the word ‘READY’ on the display visible through eyepiece.
Target reflectivity depends on its color, surface finish, size, shape, position in relation to the laser beam, etc. Bright target colors are more reflective than darks. A polished surface is more reflective than a rough one. Larger targets reflect better than small ones. Ranging a target perpendicular to the laser beam provides better results than the one positioned under a sharp angle to the beam. Weather conditions that influence air transparency (rain, fog, snow, mist) reduce maximum range.
KMH/MPH: units of speed measurement: km/hour or miles/hour (3, Fig.3) (LRM 1500SPD only). Shape of the reticle: cross shape or rectangular shape (2, Fig.3). rEC1: Data Recall mode. It returns results of the last 10 measurements on the display. Measurement results are saved in on-board memory. When you enter the Data Recall mode, first measurement set number (display name: rEc 1) will start flashing.
Additional display information Distance measuring procedure includes instant statistical processing of the package of single measuring sessions. If there is more than one measured target in the field of view, the embedded software estimates the most probable one by calculating the number of reflected pulses multiplied by the target statistical weight. This mechanism allows automatic mitigation of the influence of obstacles like rain, flakes, trees, wires and so on.
6. STORAGE AND MAINTENANCE The unit is a sophisticated precision optical instrument equipped with laser and electronics. Therefore, it should be handled with due care. Keep away from direct sunlight. Avoid impacts, jolts, dust, moisture, and sharp changes of temperature. Do not use the device at temperatures higher than 50oC (122oF). Prevent unit from direct sunlight Do not touch optical surfaces. Doing so may damage the anti-reflection coating.
7. TROUBLESHOOTING The ranging does not work. The display is transparent. Check the charge of the battery. Replace it if it is weak. Black dots are visible on LCD. Liquid Crystal Display may have small black dots, scratches and other blemishes inherited from the manufacturing process. These flaws are strictly regulated by number, area and location and do not degrade the product's measurement capabilities. Range measurement cannot be obtained.
