SLOPE SWITCH TECHNOLOGY

Slope Switch technology lets the golfer easily turn Bushnell's patented Slope function on and off. This technology allows
the golfer to conveniently utilize Slope to get compensated distances around the course when they want it and have a
USGA conforming device that is legal for tournament play when they need it.

SLOPE SWITCH

Slope is enabled by sliding the Slope Switch on the top of the Pro X3.
To move the Slope Switch on or off:
1. Use the right thumb to pull down the side latch.
2. With the left hand, pull back the switch on both sides to enable
Slope On or slide forward to turn Slope off.
3. Release the side latch to keep the switch in place.
The Slope +/- mode will automatically compute an angle compensated range based upon distance and Slope
determined by the laser rangefinder and built-in inclinometer, when a target is ranged. This data combines internal
algorithmic formulas dealing with average club use and ball trajectories. The angle compensated range provides
direction in playing the shot (i.e., add distance if an incline, subtract distance if a decline). For your Pro X3 to conform to
USGA Rule 14-3, the Slope compensated ranging feature must be in the Off position.

ELEMENTS

With Slope mode selected, the display will show the percent grade of tilt/incline to the hole or obstacle (with the flag or
other target in the aiming circle) and "Play As" compensated distance below the normal "Line of Sight" distance when
the laser is fired. You can also activate the Element feature by pressing the Mode button (toggle between Elements on
or off). "ON" indicates the Elements Mode icon (
When the Elements Mode is on, the Slope compensated distance also factors in the air pressure and temperature
at your location on the golf course. So, for example, the ball will travel farther through thinner air at higher altitudes
(assuming the ball is hit with the same launch conditions). Note: once the device has shut off, the unit will always default
to the last mode used.
HOW TO USE SLOPE +/-™
Move the slope switch to the "Slope On" position. The second row of information appears in the display, confirming
that you are now in slope mode. Next, press the Power/Fire button to obtain the distance to the flag or other objects.
Once the range is displayed, release the Power/Fire button. Once you have released the Power/Fire button, the grade
percentage and compensated range will be displayed beneath the standard distance in the second row of numbers.
For example, if the true distance is 160 yards, but with a slope of -3%, the Slope compensated
("Play As") range is 156 yards. The display would show this (right):
THE ADVANTAGE OF SLOPE +/-™ WITH ELEMENTS
A. The distance to the black flag in the drawing below is 160 yards. It is also 160 yards to the red flag, although it is
on a slope with a 6% grade (uphill incline). However, if a golfer were to play this hole at 160 yards, the ball (X) would
fall short of the hole/flag if Slope was not considered. Therefore, due to the Slope, play it as a 168 yard shot.
B. In the drawing below, the golfer is hitting up hill, playing at cooler temperature, and at a course elevation lower than
their Home Elevation. The Slope and Elements compensated distance for this shot is 171 yards.
