RANGEFINDING
To measure the distance to an object, you must aim
directly at it. To do this, activate the target mark by
pressing the main button (2) once.
When you release the button, the target mark remains
lit for around another 8 seconds. With the button held
down, the target mark remains lit continuously. While
it is lit, aim at the object and press the main button
again to measure the range, and the measured value
is then displayed. The target mark disappears briefly
during the measurement. As long as the target mark
remains lit, you can carry out another measurement
at any time by pressing the main button again.
If the distance to the object is less than 10 meters,
the measuring range is exceeded or the object is
not sufficiently reflective,

appears in the display.
When the display disappears, the LEICA RANGEMAS-
TER CRF 1600 shuts down automatically.
SCAN MODE
The LEICA RANGEMASTER CRF 1600 can also be used
for continuous measurements: Holding down the main
button (2) the second time it is pressed switches the
unit to scan mode after around 2.5 s and it then per-
forms continuous measurements. This can be seen by
a change in the display: Around every 1 second, a new
measured value is shown. Scan mode is particularly use-
ful for measuring the range to small or moving targets.
Notes:
• In scan mode the ballistic correction value (see p.
31) is only displayed after the last measurement,
not before.
• Because of the continuous measurements, power
consumption is greater in scan mode than for
single measurements.
