OPERATIONAL SUMMARY
While looking through the Venture laser rangefi nder, depress the Power/Fire button once to activate the display. Place the
aiming circle (located in the center of the field of view) on a target at least 5 yards away, depress the Fire button, and the
range reading is displayed near the bottom of the display. If the display appears blurry, rotate the rubber eyecup/diopter
adjustment in either direction until the display is sharp for your vision. Crosshairs surrounding the aiming circle indicate
that the laser is being transmitted. The crosshairs surrounding the aiming circle will disappear once the Fire button has
been released (i.e. the laser is no longer being transmitted). Once activated, the display will remain active and display the
last distance measurement for about 15 seconds, until the display automatically switches off to extend battery life. You can
depress the Fire button again at any time to range to a new target (re-fi re).
ACTIVE LASER INDICATOR
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 circle will disappear once the power button has been released
(i.e. the laser is no longer being transmitted).
UNIT OF MEASURE OPTIONS
The Venture laser rangefi nder can be used to measure distances in yards (default setting) or meters. The unit of measure
indicators are located in the lower right portion of the LCD. To switch to meters, start with the unit powered off, nothing
displayed (remove/replace battery cover if necessary). Press the Power/Fire button and continue to hold it down until the
display changes to a blinking “Y”-continue to hold the button down, and the unit indicator will switch to “M”-release the
button now, and distances will now be shown in meters. To switch back to Yards, repeat this process (power off, hold Fire
button until blinking “M” changes to “Y”).
TILT FEATURE (model SVL620BT only)
The Venture laser rangefi nder model# SVL620BT features a built-in inclinometer that solves a problem hunters have been
faced with for years. Bow and rifle hunters have struggled with extreme uphill and downhill angles because of how these
angles alter true horizontal distance to your target. The Tilt feature solves this, with the integrated inclinometer providing
angular data to a processor chip when targeting objects that are either uphill or downhill. This data is then combined with
internal algorithmic formulas.
Along with the standard “line of sight” distance, the Venture laser rangefi nder’s display instantly
shows the “real” horizontal distance (when fire button is released) from 5-99 yards / meters. The angle
compensated horizontal distance is shown near the bottom of the display.
For example, a bowhunter in a tree stand may be aiming at a deer that is downhill at a -44
o
relative to
his position. The line of sight distance is 32 yards, but he is likely to “overshoot” the target based on
that. The secondary distance display (compensated for the angle) reads 23 yards. That is the distance
the hunter should base his shot upon.
