ACTIVATING/REPLACING THE BATTERY
Please remove the battery door by lifting the battery door tab and rotating counterclockwise
until it is loose. Then, activate the installed CR2 3-volt lithium battery by removing the battery
door as described above. Next, remove the plastic protective disc from the top of the battery,
and replace the door.
Replacing a low battery: Insert a new CR2 3-volt lithium battery into the compartment negative
(flat) end first (positive end facing out towards the battery cover), then replace the battery door.
BATTERY LEVEL INDICATOR
The Battery Indicator (3) shows the remaining power level:
•
Full charge
•
Approx. 2/3 battery life remaining
•
Approx. 1/3 battery Life remaining
•
Battery Indicator Blinks - Battery needs replacing, and the unit will not be operable.
WARNING: THIS PRODUCT USES A LITHIUM BASED BATTERY. LITHIUM BATTERIES CAN OVERHEAT AND
CAUSE DAMAGE IF PHYSICALLY ABUSED. DO NOT USE BATTERIES THAT ARE DAMAGED OR SHOW SIGNS OF
PHYSICAL WEAR.
BASIC OPERATION
While looking through the Tour V6, depress the Power/Fire button once to activate the display. If the display icons and
numbers are blurry, rotate the eyepiece in either direction until they are in focus (see "Adjusting the Eyepiece" below).
1. Place the aiming circle (center of the display) over a target at least 5 yards away. Press and hold the Power/Fire button
until the "line of sight" distance displays near the bottom of the display (see "Display Indicators" below). Crosshairs
surrounding the aiming circle indicate that the laser is transmitted.
2. After a range is acquired and displayed, you can release the Power/Fire button. The crosshairs surrounding the aiming
circle will disappear once the Power/Fire button is released (i.e., the laser is no longer transmitting).
3. Once activated, the display will remain visible and display the last distance measurement for 10 seconds. Press the
Power/Fire button again to range to a new target. The maximum time the laser is transmitted (active) is 5 seconds. To
re-fire, press the button down again.
ADJUSTING THE EYEPIECE
The Tour V6 is equipped with an adjustable Fast Focus eyepiece (+/- 3.5 diopter adjustment) that allows you to focus
the displayed data and icons relative to the viewed image from the monocular optics. Rotate the eyepiece until the
display is in focus.
ACTIVE LASER
Crosshairs surrounding the aiming circle indicate that the laser is transmitted. Once a range is acquired, you can
release the Power/Fire button. The crosshairs surrounding the circle will disappear once the Power/Fire button is
released (i.e., the laser is not transmitting).
SLOPE SWITCH TECHNOLOGY (TOUR V6 SHIFT ONLY)
Slope-Switch Technology lets the golfer easily turn Bushnell's patented Slope
function on and off. The switch 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 mode is enabled by sliding the Slope Switch on the side of the Tour
V6 Shift (model# 202321) to the left so the orange Slope indicator is visible
(see photo, right) and Bushnell's patented Slope Technology is displayed. The Slope +/- mode will automatically compute
an angle compensated range based on distance and Slope determined by the laser rangefinder and built-in inclinometer.
This data is combined with internal algorithmic formulas dealing with average club use and ball trajectories. The angle
compensated range provides direction on how to play the shot (i.e., add distance if an incline, subtract distance if a
decline). Slide the Slope Switch right, and the Tour V6 now conforms to USGA Rule 14-3, with the Slope compensated
ranging feature removed.
