When Extended Laser Range  
Mode (ELR) is selected, “ELR” will 
be displayed in the upper segment 
of the display. Once “Measure” is 
pressed, “ELR” will disappear from 
the display, but the unit remains in 
ELR Mode. If powered down in ELR 
Mode, “ELR” will be displayed 
each time the unit powers back on.

Note: While using ELR Mode, it may take longer to acquire a 

target depending on the target’s size, distance to the target, 

reflectivity of the target, and the environmental conditions.

simply re-aim and press the “Measure” button again.
