Your Cabela’s CLR 800 by Bushnell
®
is a precision instrument designed to provide
many years of enjoyment. This booklet will help you achieve optimum performance
by explaining its adjustments and features as well as how to care for this precise
laser rangefinding instrument. To ensure optimal performance and longevity, please
read these instructions before using your CLR 800.
INTRODUCTION
Your CLR 800 is the world’s most simple to use, yet advanced laser rangefinder. Using
Digital Technology and measuring a mere 1.9 x 4.1 x 4.2 inches, the 8 ounce CLR 800
delivers superb and accurate range performance to +/- one yard. Range to a deer as
far as 300 yards out, or to a tree 600 yards away for a reference point. The single button
operation allows outdoor enthusiasts to easily measure distance with confidence.
The CLR 800 emits invisible, eyesafe, infrared energy pulses. Sophisticated digital
technology instantaneously calculates distances by measuring the time it takes for
each pulse to travel from the rangefinder, to the target, and back.
The ranging accuracy of the CLR 800 is plus or minus one yard under most
circumstances. The maximum range of the instrument depends on the reflectivity of
the target. The maximum distance for most objects is 600 yards while for highly
reflective objects the maximum is 800 yards. Note: You will get both longer and
shorter maximum distances depending on the reflective properties of the particular
target and the environmental conditions at the time the distance of an object is
being measured.
The color, surface finish, size and shape of the target all affect reflectivity and range.
The brighter the color, the longer the range. Red is highly reflective, for example, and
allows longer ranges than the color black, which is the least reflective color. A shiny
finish provides more range than a dull one. A small target is more difficult to range
than a larger target. The angle to the target also has an effect. Shooting to a target
at a 90 degree angle (where the target surface is perpendicular to the flight path of
the emitted energy pulses) provides good range while a steep angle on the other
hand, provides limited ranging. In addition, lighting conditions (e.g. the amount of
sunlight) will affect the ranging capabilities of the unit. The less light (e.g. overcast
skies) the farther the unit’s maximum range will be. Conversely, very sunny days will
decrease the unit’s maximum range.
OPERATIONAL SUMMARY
While looking through the monocular, depress the power
button once to activate the inview display system (LCD). Aim
the CLR 800 at a target at least 5 yards away, depress and
hold the power button down until range reading is
displayed. Release the power button. Note: Once activated,
the CLR 800’s LCD will remain active and display the last
distance measurement for 30 seconds. You can depress the
power button again at any time to distance to a new target.
As with any laser device, it is not recommended to directly
view the emissions for long periods of time with magnified lenses.
FEATURES
Your CLR 800’s LCD incorporates illuminated indicators that advise you unit of
measure, when the laser is active, the battery charge is low, and when a target has
been acquired. A summary of these features is presented below:
