CLEANING AND GENERAL CARE
The lenses of your Bushnell Prime™ 1500 laser rangefinder are fully multi-coated for the highest light transmission. As
with any multi-coated optics, take special care in cleaning the lenses. Follow these tips for proper lens cleaning:
• Blow away any dust or debris on the lens (or use a soft lens brush).
• To remove dirt or fingerprints, clean with the supplied microfiber cloth rubbing in a circular motion. Use of coarse cloth
or unnecessary rubbing may scratch the lens surface and eventually cause permanent damage. The included washable
microfiber cleaning cloth is ideal for the routine cleaning of your optics. Breathe lightly on the lens to provide a slight
amount of moisture, then gently rub the lens with the microfiber cloth.
• For a more thorough cleaning, photographic lens tissue and photographic-type lens cleaning fluid or isopropyl alcohol
may be used. Always apply the fluid to the cleaning cloth – never directly on the lens.
All exterior lens surfaces have our new EXO Barrier™ coating (in addition to full multi-coating). EXO Barrier, quite simply,
is the best protective lens coating technology Bushnell has ever developed. Added at the end of the coating process,
EXO Barrier molecularly bonds to the lens and fills the microscopic pores in the glass. The result is an ultra-slick coating
that repels water, oil, fog, dust, and debris - rain, snow, fingerprints, and dirt will not stick. EXO Barrier is built to last: the
bonded coating will not fade with the passage of time or normal wear and tear.
The rangefinder is manufactured and tested to withstand water exposure up to IPX4 standards. It is water-resistant but
should not be submerged.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Never disassemble your laser rangefinder. Irreparable damage can result from unauthorized service attempts, which also
void the warranty.
If the unit does not turn on, the display does not illuminate:
• Depress Power/Fire button.
• Check and, if necessary, replace the battery. If the unit does not respond to button presses, replace the battery with a
good quality CR2 3-volt Lithium battery.
If unit powers down (display goes blank when attempting to power the laser):
• The battery is either weak or low quality. Replace the battery with a new 3 -volt lithium battery (CR2).
If the target range cannot be obtained:
• Make sure the display is illuminated.
• Make sure that the Power/Fire button is being depressed.
• Ensure nothing, such as your hand or finger, blocks the lenses at the front of the rangefinder that emits and receives
the laser pulses.
• Make sure the unit is steady while depressing the Power/Fire button.
NOTE: The last range reading does not need to be cleared before ranging another target. Aim at the new target using the display reticle, depress the power button, and hold until new range
reading is displayed.

information for this product.
Accuracy
- The data that tells how accurately in many meters/yards
the device will measure the distance to the object and what kind of
deviation can occur (in the same units).
Inclinometer
- Inclinometer is an integrated instrument for determining
angles of inclination or slope. It measures the equivalent horizontal
distance to the target. This feature is very handy at golf or long-range
inclined shooting because shooters need the equivalent horizontal
distance and not the actual distance. The gravity of the earthworks on
the flying object only this equivalent horizontal distance that is traveling
to the hole or the target. If the shooter doesn't take this into account,
the bullet travels higher.
Maximal Rangefinder Range
- Maximal rangefinder range is the
maximum distance to which the laser rangefinding device correctly
performs the measurement and determines the distance to the observed
object.
It shoud be noted, the given maximum rangefinding distance is only
at perfect environmental conditions. This means, the rangefinder with
a maximum rangefinding distance till 1000 meters will measure this
distance only in cloudy weather, or when the sun goes down. In a bright,
sunny or a rainy day, the maximum rangefinding distance shortens.
Measurement Increment
- Measurement increment is the unit of
measurement. It can be measured in meters or yards. This function can
be easily switched on the device itself.
Measurement Time
- Measurement time is the shortest time in which the
device measures the distance to the observed object.
