Thank you for purchasing your new Simmons® Venture™ Laser Rangefinder.
This manual will help you optimize your viewing experience by explaining how to utilize the rangefinder's features and
how to care for it. Read the instructions carefully before using your rangefinder.
WARNING: AS WITH ANY LASER DEVICE, IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED TO DIRECTLY VIEW THE
EMISSIONS FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME WITH MAGNIFIED LENSES.
INTRODUCTION
Your Simmons® Venture™ is a compact, high performance laser rangefinder comprised of the latest Digital
Technology, allowing range readings from 5-625 yards/5-571 meters . Measuring 1.3 x 4 x 2.9 inches, the 8-ounce
Venture is capable of delivering extremely fast target acquisition, incredible ½ yard accuracy (+/- 1 yard accuracy
from 200 yards to the maximum range), with superb optical quality and water resistant (IPX4) construction. Model
SVL620BT also provides a Tilt feature for angle compensated distance information.
*Note: You will get both longer and shorter maximum distances depending on the reflective properties of the particular
target and the environmental conditions at the time the distance of an object is being measured. The color, surface
finish, size and shape of the target all affect reflectivity and range. The brighter the color, the longer the range. White 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. The angle to
the target also has an effect. Shooting to a target at a 90 degree angle (where the target surface is perpendicular to the
flight path of the emitted energy pulses) provides good range while a steep angle on the other hand, provides limited
ranging. In addition, lighting conditions (e.g. the amount of sunlight) will affect the ranging capabilities of the unit. The
less light (e.g. overcast skies) the farther the unit's maximum range will be. Conversely, very sunny days will decrease
the unit's maximum range.
HOW OUR DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY WORKS
The Venture™ laser rangefinder emits
invisible, eye safe, infrared energy pulses.
The
Venture
rangefinder's
microprocessor results in instantaneous and
accurate readings every time. Sophisticated
digital technology instantaneously calculates
distances by measuring the time it takes for
each pulse to travel from the rangefinder, to
the target, and back.
