How to use Slope Mode
™
Once in this mode, you will see a " °
+/- Mode. Press the POWER button to obtain distance to the flag or other objects. Once the range is
displayed, continue to hold the POWER button down for approximately 2 seconds while holding the
aiming circle on the flag and keeping the unit as steady as possible so as to allow the inclinometer
enough time to measure slope. Then release the POWER button. Once you have released the power
button, a degree of angle and compensated range will be displayed beneath the standard distance as
seen below.
In this example, the true distance is 162 yards, slope is +4 degrees, and the
compensated range is 173 yards. The "
playing as 162 yards, "play-as" 173 yards.
The Advantage of Slope Edition
The distance to flag A in the drawing below is 162 yards.
It is also 162 yards to flag B although it is on a slope.
However, if you were to play this hole as 162 yards, the
ball (X) would fall short of the hole/flag because you did
nottake slope into account.

The Truth about Slopes
Trying to determine slope angle with the naked eye can be rather deceiving. Most are not well versed
to accurately determine slope angle. For example, most golf courses average slope is approximately 4
degrees. A large slope at a golf course is generally no more than 8 degrees. Of course this can vary,
and that is why this device will measure slope from -20 to 20 degrees.
Some real world examples may help clarify. A moderate roof pitch is 6/12, which means that the roof
rises six inches for every 12 inch horizontal distance. That equates to 26.5 degrees. You can scramble
up this pitch when hanging Christmas lights, but climbing that slope for the distance of a good golf shot
on a course would be exhausting. To retrieve a 200 yards shot, you would climb 300 feet up!
Golf Example: Let's say you are a strong golfer with a 300 yard shot. At a 20 degree slope the Pin
would be 50 feet above you. In other words, you be driving the ball to the top of a 5 story building!!!
NOTE: For your convenience, the Slope Edition also contains the PinSeeker
you prefer not to use the Slope Mode, simply press the MODE button to get to PinSeeker
with Automatic SCAN Mode.
Standard with Automatic SCAN: This setting allows most targets to be distanced up to 1000 yards.
Used for moderately reflective targets that are typical of most distancing situations. The minimum distance
X
in the standard mode is 5 yards. To use the Automatic SCAN feature, simply hold down on the POWER
button for approximately 3 seconds and SCAN the rangefinder from object to object while leaving the
POWER button depressed. Automatic SCAN will allow the range and display to be continuously updated
very rapidly as multiple objects are targeted.
