Scan mode
The equipment can also be used to measure in constant operation (scan
mode). If the range finder button
(Fig. 1/6) is pressed for longer than approx.
3 seconds, the equipment switches to scan mode and takes measurements
continuously. This can then be seen from the range display, which emits new
measuring values approx. every 1.5 seconds. The scan mode is helpful for
measuring small or moving targets.
Note: Scan mode switches off automatically after approx. 20 seconds in order
to save the battery in case the button is pressed accidentally.
Range estimation accuracy
The range finder is accurate to +/– 1 metre / yard. The maximum range accord-
ing to the technical specifications is achieved in favourable environmental
conditions.
The following environmental factors affect the range:
Higher range with Lower range with
Atmospheric
condition
Clear visibility Haze, fog
Brightness
Low brightness High brightness
(twilight) (sunshine)
Object colour White object colour Black object colour
Angle to the object 90° (perpendicular) angle Sharp angle
Object structure
Homogeneous structure Inhomogeneous structure
(sign, wall) (bush, tree)
Ballistic Information System BIS TM
For hunting, the equipment has a ballistic information system BIS TM , with
which it is possible to display the required correction value for the aiming
point depending on the estimated range.
Note: The so-called point of impact shows how many centimetres or inches
higher or lower than at target range the shot will impact at the measured
distance. The correction value for the aiming point is the correction required
in order to shoot back on target.
