CARE AND MAINTENANCE
PRECAUTIONS
LENS
Be careful that you do not directly
touch the lens surface with your
hands when cleaning it. Remove
dust or lint with a blower*. For
fingerprints or other stains that
cannot be removed with a blower,
wipe the lens with a dry soft cloth or
cleaning cloth for eyeglasses, using a
spiral motion that starts at the center
of the lens and working towards the
edges. Wiping too firmly or wiping
with a hard material may damage
the lens. If this fails, gently wipe the
lens using a cloth lightly dampened
with commercial lens cleaner.
MAIN BODY
After gently removing dust with a
blower, clean the body surface with a
soft, clean cloth. After use at a
seaside, wipe off salt that may be on
the body surface with a damp, soft,
clean cloth, and then wipe with a dry
cloth. Do not use benzene, thinner,
or other cleaners containing organic
solvents.
STORAGE
Water condensation or mold may
occur on lens surfaces because of
high humidity. Therefore, store the
product 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.
* A rubber cleaning tool that blows
air from a nozzle.

environmental conditions, as well as the color,
surface finish, size, shape and other
characteristics of the target.
Measurement may be inaccurate or fail in the
following cases:

• Small or slender target
• Black or dark target
• Target has stepped surface
• Moving or vibrating target
• When measuring the surface of water
• Target measured through glass
• When the target is glass or a mirror
• When laser incidence to the target’s reflective
surface is oblique

Inserting/Replacing battery
1. Open the battery-chamber cover.
Rotate the battery-chamber cover counterclockwise and remove it.
2. Insert the battery.
To replace the battery, take out the old battery before inserting a new one.
Follow the battery insertion mark inside the battery chamber to insert the + and - ends of the battery in
the correct orientation (insert so that the - end faces outward). If the battery is not inserted correctly,
the Laser Rangefinder will not operate.
3. Attach the battery-chamber cover.
Rotate the battery-chamber cover clockwise and secure it firmly. When attaching the battery-chamber
cover, securely screw it all the way and check that it is secured.
• The battery-chamber cover may be difficult to rotate because this product uses a rubber seal to
maintain its waterproof capabilities.
