BATTERY LEVEL INDICATOR
The Battery Indicator (2) shows remaining power level:
• Full charge
• approx. 2/3 battery life remaining
• approx. 1/3 battery Life remaining
• Battery Indicator Blinks - Battery needs to be replaced and unit will not be operable.
ACTIVE LASER
Crosshairs surrounding the aiming circle indicate that the laser is being transmitted. Once a range has been acquired, you
can release the Power/Fire button. The crosshairs surrounding the circle will disappear once the Power/Fire button has been
released (i.e. the laser is no longer being transmitted).
SLOPE SWITCH TECHNOLOGY (TOUR V5 SHIFT MODEL# 201910 ONLY)
Slope-Switch Technology lets the golfer easily turn Bushnell’s patented Slope function on and off. This 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.
When slope is enabled by sliding the Slope Switch on the side of the Tour
V5 Shift (model# 201910) to the left so the red Slope indicator is visible (see
photo, right), Bushnell’s patented Slope Technology is displayed. The Slope
+/- mode will automatically compute an angle compensated range based
upon distance and slope determined by the laser rangefinder and built-in
inclinometer. 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.e. add distance if an
incline, subtract distance if a decline). Slide the Slope Switch right, and
your Tour V5 now conforms to USGA Rule 14-3, with the slope compensated
ranging feature removed.
HOW TO USE SLOPE +/-™ (TOUR V5 SHIFT MODEL# 201910 ONLY)
Move the slope switch to the “Slope On” position. You will see a second row of information appear in the display, confirming
that you are now in slope mode. Press the Power/Fire button to obtain 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, a 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 +6 percent,
the slope compensated (“play-as”) range is 168 yards. The display would show this (right):
THE ADVANTAGE OF SLOPE +/-™
(TOUR V5 SHIFT)
The distance to the black flag in the drawing (see 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 as 160 yards, the ball (X) would fall short
of the hole/flag if slope was not taken into account. Due to the slope, it should be played as a 168 yard shot. This will be
displayed as the “play as” distance below the line of sight distance.
