BUSHNELL TOUR X INSTRUCTIONS
As you already know, the new Bushnell Tour X does not have a tripod socket. All other previous Bushnell laser rangefinders
had a tripod socket. So we bought a Tour X sand experimented with different solutions to use it with the Quick Clip. Due to
the weight of the Tour X (8 oz) we recommend the double magnet Quick Clip.
The solution we’ve settled on is foolproof.
Attached are two pictures of each side of our Bushnell Tour X.
Note where we’ve placed the “modified” (we simply cut the
tab at each edge perforations) belt clip tab/3M VHB adhesive disk assembly
as this is the exact spot where you’ll be placing
it. We placed one on each
side of the Tour X though you don’t need to do that. We did that just for convenience – when you
want to hang the Tour X on the Quick Clip, either side will work and it saves time. Your Quick Clip package includes 3 of the
belt clip tabs/3M VHB adhesive assemblies (2 spares) plus extra alcohol cleaning pads and extra belt clip tabs.
VERY IMPORTANT:
If you follow the directions “to the letter”, it will stick instantly and you won’t be able to remove
it using your fingers/hands (you may draw blood). It certainly cannot come off during your everyday use on the golf
cart.
Before using your Bushnell Tour X on the Quick clip, let it "set" for at least 48 to 72 hours as this also enhances the
adhesion.
Instructions for attaching these modified belt clip tab/3M VHB adhesive disk assemblies to your Tour x
: Using an
alcohol prep pad, clean that spot on your Tour x and allow to air dry. This removes any oils, sweat, grease and other yucky
stuff so the adhesion is optimized. Peel the paper backing off the belt clip tab/3M adhesive assemblies.
Very carefully
place
the belt clip tab on the spot as shown in the Tour x picture.
CAUTION:
The belt clip tab/3M adhesive will want to stick
immediately to whatever it touches so use care when placing it on the spot and try not to touch the adhesive with your
fingers. Apply some pressure on the belt clip tab for about 30 seconds.
Allow it to “set and cure” for a minimum of 48 hours (72 hours if possible is even better) before using your Tour X in the
Quick Clip keyhole slot. That will enhance the adhesive properties of the 3M VHB adhesive disk. The 3M adhesive is a visco-
elastic polymer that is extremely strong and durable. By allowing 48 to 72 hours “curing time”, the visco-elastic adhesive
molds itself over time into the microscopic imperfections of the two joining surfaces.
If you have any doubts at all about the extreme holding power of the 3M VHB adhesive, below in blue is a link to a 3M
document that includes the full details as well as videos of the 3M VHB adhesive. To open this link, right-click directly on the
link below, then from the list of optional actions then click on “Open Hyperlink”.

If you ever want to remove the belt clip tabs, simply warm the 3M VHB adhesive with a hair dryer and it will peel off (though
stll requiring some effort) without any (or very little) residue. Don't re-use the belt clip tab with the old 3M adhesive as it
loses its adhesion after removal. But you can always reuse the belt clip tab if
it’s not damaged or distorted. Simply remove
any old adhesive. Clean it with an alcohol pad and allow to dry. Then peel the paper backing off of either side of one of the
extra 3M VHB adhesives. Very carefully (it will want to stick instantly to whatever it touches) place it centered on the belt clip
tab. Press on it with some pressure for about 30 seconds. Use a razor knife to trim off the overlapping edges of the 3M
adhesive. Then you can follow the instructions in the 3
rd
paragraph above.
Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any concerns or questions. Always remember too...if you aren't happy with
the way your Bushnell Tour X works with the Quick Clip, we'll refund your $$ in full.
