10.
Avoid florescent lighting.
Florescent lighting will inadvertently trigger the projectile
sensors and give false readings.
11.
Stand one arrow length away for bows and crossbows.
Shoot arrows over the
projectile sensors evenly so the arrow passes the same height over both sensors. Blunt
arrow tips work best.
12.
For shotguns stand only 5 feet away.
Shotgun blast may affect the projectile
readings. Watch out for flying wads that might damage the chronograph.
13.
Paintball guns can be fired from any distance.
You should be careful that no
paint splatter gets on the projectile sensors.
14.
Optional Light Kit
Infrared (IR) LEDs provide the highest level of performance
with the Chronograph sensors, IR light is not visible to the human eye so one
visible red LED is included in each light strip for easy visual confirmation that
the light kit is on and working.
The high output LEDs consume battery power rapidly, use high quality Alkaline or
Lithium batteries. Depending on battery type and environmental conditions a set
of batteries will only provide optimal light output for approximately 2 hours.
As a set of batteries loses power the red LEDs may still be partially visible even
though the IR LEDs are not putting out an optimal level of light. If you notice
errors or inconsistent readings, switch to 110 power or replace the batteries.
Use The 110 Volt AC adapter instead of batteries whenever possible.
