Feature Tech
- Line of Sight (LOS): Displays the actual line of sight range.
- Horizontal Component Distance (HCD): Displays the slope angle compensated distance to the target.
- Ballistics (BAL): Displays the actual line of sight range and wind/drop solution.
- SCAN Feature: Displays continuous distance readings while panning across a landscape.
Target Modes
- Normal Mode: The standard mode providing the target's range with the strongest range result. Recommended for most situations.
- First Mode: Displays the closest distance when ranging. Ideal for ranging a smaller target in front of other larger or more reflective objects.
- Last Mode: Displays the farthest distance when ranging. Ideal for ranging a specific target behind a group of objects like brush, trees, rocks, etc.
- Extended Laser Range (ELR) Mode: Ideal for ranging targets at extreme distances. A slightly longer response time allows greatly for extended range distances.
- Rain/Fog Mode: Ideal for ranging in adverse conditions, such as rain, snow, fog, or dust. Helps the rangefinder return accurate readings despite poor visibility.
