Storage
• Water condensation or mold may
occur on the lens surface because of
high humidity. Therefore, store the
Nikon Laser Rangefinder in a cool,
dry place.
After use on a rainy day or at night,
thoroughly dry it at room
temperature, then store in a cool,
dry place.

The Nikon Laser Rangefinder uses an invisible
laser beam for measuring. It measures the time the
laser beam takes to travel from the rangefinder
to the target and back. Laser reflectivity and
measurement results may vary according to climatic
and environmental conditions, as well as the color,
surface finish, size, shape and other characteristics
of the target.
The following conditions makes measuring easier:
• Night time use rather than bright daytime
• Cloudy weather rather than in direct sunlight
• Bright-colored targets
• Targets with highly reflective surfaces
• Targets with shiny exteriors
• Large-size targets
• Laser incident angle to the target is close to 90
degrees
Measurement may result in inaccuracy or failure in
the following cases:
• Slender or small target
• Target has diffusing reflective surface
• Target does not reflect the laser beam to the
rangefinder (glass, a mirror, etc.)
• Black target
• Target has varying depths
• In snow, rain or fog
• Target measured through glass
• Reflective surface measured from diagonal direction
• Moving target
• Obstacle moving in front of the target
• When targeting the surface of water
