User manual BUSHNELL 205105

[. . . ] Red is highly reflective, for example, and allows longer ranges than the color black, which is the least reflective color. Shooting to a target at a 90 degree angle (where the target surface is perpendicular to the flight path of the emitted energy pulses) provides good range while a steep angle on the other hand, provides limited ranging. Conversely, very sunny days will decrease the unit's maximum range. Insert one 9-volt alkaline battery into the slot as indicated, then close the battery door and slide until it locks in to place. [. . . ] There may be times when only the laser beam only sees one object in its path. In this case, the distance will be displayed, but because more than one object was not acquired, a circle will not surround the flag indicator. TIP: While pressing the POWER button, you can move the device slowly from object to object and intentionally force the laser to hit multiple objects to ensure that you are only displaying the closest of the objects recognized by the laser. Once the device has shut off, the unit will always default back to the last mode used. PinSeeker with Slope +/-TM (LCD Indicator - ° ) This advanced mode will be found only on model 20-5106 (ProTM 1600 with Slope +/-TM). Model 20-5106 features a built-in accelerometer-based inclinometer that digitally displays the exact slope angle from -20 to +20 degrees of elevation and is +/- 1. This data is then 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. How to use Slope +/-TM Once in this mode, you will see a " ° " in the field of view informing you that you are in the Slope +/- Mode. Press the POWER button to obtain distance to the flag or other objects. Once the range is displayed, continue to hold the POWER button down for approximately 2 seconds while holding the aiming circle on the flag and keeping the unit as steady as possible so as to allow the inclinometer enough time to measure slope. Once you have released the power button, a degree of angle and compensated range will be displayed beneath the standard distance as seen below. In this example, the true distance is 162 yards, slope is +4 degrees, and the compensated range is 173 yards. The " " symbol means "Play-As", so instead of playing as 162 yards, "play-as" 173 yards. The Advantage of Slope+/-TM The distance to flag A in the drawing below is 162 yards. However, if you were to play this hole as 162 yards, the ball (X) would fall short of the hole/flag because you did not take slope into account. The Truth about Slopes Trying to determine slope angle with the naked eye can be rather deceiving. for example , most golf courses average slope is approximately 4 degrees. Of course this can vary, and that is why this device will measure slope from -20 to 20 degrees. A moderate roof pitch is 6/12, which means that the roof rises six inches for every 12 inch horizontal distance. You can scramble up this pitch when hanging Christmas lights, but climbing that slope for the distance of a good golf shot on a course would be exhausting. Golf Example: Let's say you are a strong golfer with a 300 yard shot. [. . . ] Ce mode perfectionné permet une acquisition facile de la distance jusqu'au drapeau sans obtenir par erreur la distance d'autres cibles d'arrièreplan (arbres, par ex. Un drapeau et des arbres à l'arrière-plan), la distance au drapeau est affichée et un cercle entoure l'indicateur PinSeeker, informant l'utilisateur que la distance au drapeau (par ex. PinSeeker with Slope +/-TM (Indicateur d'affichage - ° ) Ce mode perfectionné ne se trouve que sur le modèle 205106 (ProTM 1600 with Slope +/-TM). le modèle 20-5106 est doté d'un inclinomètre à base d'accéléromètre intégré qui permet l'affichage numérique de l'angle de pente exact , de -20 à +20 degrés d'élévation , avec une précision de +/1 , 0 degré.
