• Do not depress the POWER button while aiming at 

a human eye or while looking into the optics from 
the objective side 

• Do not leave the rangefinder within the reach of 

small children

• Do not take the product apart as it has a self-

protection device in the electronic control module 
and may cause an electric shock

• Do not attempt to use any power source other than a 3V Lithium CR2 

battery — the PinCaddie 2 rangefinder is designed to prohibit accessing 
any other external power supply

• Read this instruction manual in its entirety before using this rangefinder.  

If the product is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the 
protection provided by the equipment may be impaired

Caution: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of 
procedures other than those specified herein may result in 
hazardous laser radiation exposure

PinCaddie 2 Features at a Glance

• Laser Radiation: FDA Class 1 / IEC Class 3R
• Measurement Range: 5 yds – 650 yds
• Measuring Time: Less than 1 second
• Auto Power Off after 5 seconds 
• Power: 3V Lithium CR2 battery 
• Battery Life: At least 5,000 actuations
• Accuracy: +/- 1 yard/meter 
• The PinCaddie 2 is weatherproof
To insert a new battery, remove battery cover (shown in diagram) and remove 
exhausted battery. Insert new CR-2 battery, negative terminal first, into the 
battery compartment. Close battery cover.

To focus the digital laser rangefinder, turn 
the eyepiece left or right (you will feel and 
hear the clicking of the diopter, indicating 
a change to the focus has been made) until 
crisp focus is achieved.

The PinCaddie 2 is equipped with a lanyard 
attachment for added security in the field. 

Surface texture, color, size, and shape of the target all affect reflectivity, which 
in turn affects the maximum range of the instrument. As a rule of thumb, 
brightly colored targets are much more reflective than darker targets. A 
shiny surface is more reflective than a dull surface. Smaller targets are more 
difficult to range than larger targets. Light conditions, haze, fog, rain, and 
other environmental conditions can all affect ranging performance. Any factor 
which degrades air clarity will reduce the maximum effective range. The sun 
generates infrared energy that can degrade ranging performance in bright 
conditions or when ranging towards the sun.

Unit Output

The PinCaddie 2 can be set to give distances in either yards 
or meters. 

To change the unit of measure, with the PinCaddie 
2 powered OFF, push and hold the power button for 
approximately 10 seconds. The unit of measure will toggle 
from yards to meters or vice versa. 

To change the unit back, allow the rangefinder to power 
OFF and repeat the step above. NOTE: the reticle will not be 
displayed during unit selection.

PinCaddie 2 Specifications

Battery Power Status Indicator

To determine your battery’s power level, look for the  
following indicators:

FULL – Between full power and half power no battery status           
indicator will be shown                           

HALF – A half-full bar indicates your battery has reached  
half-capacity.

NO POWER – If the battery bar is empty, and there is no data 
displayed above the bar, your battery is dead and you must replace it. 
The battery status bar will flash and the unit will shut down when no 
power remains.

Operation

Measuring Distance With The PinCaddie

Measurement of distance with the PinCaddie 2 is a very simple operation:

• View the object of interest through the monocular
• Depress the POWER button to power up the unit
• Align the reticle over the object being viewed
• Depress the POWER button again – this will cause the laser to activate
• Read the distance as shown in the image field

Continuous Measurement Of a Target -  

Scan Mode:

 • Follow the instructions for “Measuring Distance…” as explained previously
• Once the target has been measured, continue to hold down the POWER 

button and follow the object 

 • The distance will automatically update as long as the POWER button is 

continuously depressed

 • This procedure can also be used to obtain the range of multiple objects; 

simply move the reticle from one target to another while holding down the 
POWER button

Clearing The Last Distance Obtained:

The last range reading does not need to be cleared before reading another 
object’s distance. Simply aim at the new object using the reticle, depress the 
POWER button and hold until the new range reading is displayed.

Introduction

Congratulations! You have purchased a Leupold PinCaddie 2 digital laser 
rangefinder that has been designed by Leupold’s engineers and designers to 
be the best golf rangefinder in its category, and to provide you with years of 
solid performance on the course. Following are detailed instructions regarding 
the proper use and employment of your PinCaddie 2 rangefinder. To ensure 
top performance for the life of the product, please read these instructions 
before operating your PinCaddie 2 rangefinder. 

Your new Leupold PinCaddie 2 rangefinder is a rangefinding device that 
incorporates advanced digital electronics. The PinCaddie 2 features include 
yards/meters measurement options, and scan mode.

How The PinCaddie 2 Works

The PinCaddie 2 is a top-quality 6x20mm monocular that incorporates the 
additional benefit of a state-of-the-art laser rangefinder capable of measuring 
the distance to the pin from 5 yards to 300 yards, an inanimate object from 
5 yards to 600 yards, and a reflective target from 5 yards to 650 yards. The 
rangefinder emits a series of invisible, infrared energy pulses that are reflected 
off the selected target back to the optical unit. State-of-the-art circuitry and 
precision computing circuits are used to calculate the distance by measuring 
the time it takes for each pulse to travel from the PinCaddie 2 to the object 
and back. 

 Safety and Operation Precautions

The Leupold PinCaddie 2 6x20mm rangefinder employs an eye-safe 
FDA Class 1 and IEC Class 3R laser in its operation. Even so, there are a 
few precautions that are important to remember:

• When you see this display through the eyepiece, please be aware that the 

product is active and emitting an invisible laser and the laser aperture 
should not be pointed toward anyone

• The unit will produce an audible click when activated to notify the user that 

the rangefinder is emitting an invisible laser
