GETTING STARTED
INSERTING THE BATTERY
Remove the battery cap with a coin by rotating the cap counter clockwise and insert a 3-volt lithium
battery into the compartment positive end first, then replace the battery cap.
NOTE: It is recommended that the battery be replaced at least once every 12 months.
Low Battery Indicator: If the “ ” is displayed within the in-view readout, this means “low battery”
or battery charge is getting low and the 3-volt lithium battery should be replaced.
ADJUSTING THE EYEPIECE
Your Scout™ 1000 is constructed with an adjustable eyepiece (+/- 2 Diopter Adjustment) that allows one
to focus the LCD display relative to the image. For users without eyeglasses, simply rotate the eyepiece
until the reticle and object distanced to are in focus to your eye. If you wear glasses, make sure the
eyecup is folded in the down position as this will bring your eye closer the eyepiece lens allowing you to
see a full field of view and then rotate the eyepiece until the reticle and object distanced to are in focus
to your eye.
OPERATIONAL SUMMARY
While looking through the 5x eyepiece, depress the power button once to activate the in-view Liquid
Crystal Display (LCD). Place the aiming circle (located in the center of the field of view) upon a target at
least 5 yards away, depress and hold the power button down until the range reading is displayed near
the bottom of the in-view display. Crosshairs surrounding the aiming circle indicate that the laser is
being transmitted. Once a range has been acquired, you can release the power button. The crosshairs
surrounding the aiming circle will disappear once the power button has been released (i.e. the laser is no
longer being transmitted). Note: Once activated, the LCD will remain active and display the last distance
measurement for 30 seconds. You can depress the power button again at any time to distance to a new
target. As with any laser device, it is not recommended to directly view the emissions for long periods of
time with magnified lenses. The maximum time the laser is transmitted (fired) is 10 seconds. To re-fire,
press the button down again.
LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY (LCD) INDICATORS
Your Scout™ 1000 LCD incorporates illuminated indicators that advise the user unit of measure, when
the laser is actively firing, when a target has been acquired, and targeting modes. A summary of these
features is presented below:
