The YARDAGE PRO® LASER RANGEFINDER RIFLESCOPE is a precision Laser Rangefinding optical 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 instrument. To ensure optimal performance and longevity, please read these instructions before using your YARDAGE PRO® LASER RANGEFINDER RIFLESCOPE. INTRODUCTION Glass--Range--Adjust--all with one product! Bushnell has combined a premium 4-x4mm riflescope with 3.5 inch eye-relief, a digitally advanced precision laser rangefinder providing distances from 30-800 yards, and a bullet drop compensator into one outstanding product. Fully Multi-Coated Optics deliver optimum brightness and color fidelity. The laser rangefinder is easily activated with an infrared remote trigger pad. Bullet-drop turrets eliminate hold-over guesswork. Simply install the turret that matches your caliber and load. When the range appears in the reticle, simply adjust it to the corresponding distance and hold dead-on. 00% waterproof / fogproof construction, Mil-dot reticle, standard and SCAN modes, and operates on 3-volt battery (included). RANgINgACCURACY hOWDOESITWORK? Previously, you had to estimate distance to a target by means of a riflescope reticle, calculating postto-post intervals with more or less exact results. Now you can measure the exact distance to a target with dead-on precision instantaneously. With the YARDAGE PRO® LASER RANGEFINDER RIFLESCOPE, you just activate the unit by pressing the infrared remote and the laser rangefinder emits invisible, eye safe, 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 resulting in instantaneous and accurate readings within the field-of-view. The ranging accuracy of the YARDAGE PRO® LASER RANGEFINDER RIFLESCOPE is plus or minus one yard / meter under most circumstances. The maximum range of the instrument depends on the reflectivity of the target. The maximum distance under optimal conditions is 800 yards / 73 meters. 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. White 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. 3 4 (Figure 1) Yard/Meter Button (1.3) Objective Lens Elevation Adjustment (1.8) Windage Adjustment (1.7) Battery Cover (1.1) Locking Screw PleaseNote: Fast Focus (1.4) Eyepiece This product is specified to function at 14° F (-10° C). however, allelectronicdevicesaresusceptibletooperatingissuesatprolonged exposuretocoldtemperatures.Anyoperatingissuesthatoccurdueto temperatureextremesshouldbetemporaryinnature.Tohelpprevent this,itisrecommendedyouinstallanewbatterywhenpreparingtouse thedeviceintemperaturesat,orbelow,freezing.

Insert one CR- 3-volt lithium battery with polarity (+ and -) as indicated inside the compartment. Replace the battery compartment cover and secure by tightening the battery compartment locking screw. Note: The battery will provide approximately 5,000 ranges. Remove the battery from the riflescope if it is not going to be used for longer than one month. Battery: Full OPERATIONALSUMMARY Half Battery: It is recommended that the battery be replaced. WARNING: This laser rangefinder riflescope should never be used as a substitute for a binocular, spotting scope, or measuring device only, as it may result in your inadvertently pointing the gun at another person. Before using this device, always remember it is mounted on a firearm and all firearm safety precautions apply. When handling firearms, always keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction. While looking through the riflescope, always depress the main power button (Figure .) once to turn the unit on. You can now use the infrared remote trigger pad (Figure ) to activate the laser and 7 8 in-view LED display (Figure 3). NOTE: If the unit has not been used for two or more hours, the main power button will need to first be depressed in order to use the infrared remote trigger pad. Aim the laser rangefinder at a target at least 30 yards away, depress and hold the power button or infrared remote trigger pad down until range reading is displayed. Release the power button or remote trigger pad. Note: Once activated, the laser rangefinder's LED will remain active and display the last distance measurement for 8 seconds. You can depress the power button / remote trigger pad again at any time to distance to a new target. Once the device is on and the power button or remote trigger pad is held down for over seconds, the device transitions to SCAN mode. This mode allows the range to be continuously updated for as the power button / remote trigger pad is depressed. As with any laser device, it is not recommended to directly view the emissions for long periods of time with magnified lenses. If three horizontal line (---) appear (Figure 4), this indicates that the unit could not measure the distance properly for a number of reasons (i.e. target too far away, intense reflection, unit not aimed directly at target, etc). Three lines, one on top of another in a vertical arrangement (Figure 5) will appear indicating that the unit is measuring and the distance in yards or meters will appear (Figure ). If the unit of measure appears in Yards (Y) and you would like to switch the Meters (M), simply press the Yards / Meters button (Figure .3) portion of the main POWER button. Conversely, when the readout is in meters, it can be switched to yards by the same process. INFRAREDREMOTETRIggERPAD An infrared remote trigger pad (Figure ) is included with the product. It was designed to attach to the forearm of the rifle and will work for either right or left hand shooters. It allows the user to maintain a stable shooting position while operating the laser rangefinder. The red triangle on the remote trigger must be faced toward the shooter and be placed on the forearm of the rifle for it to work properly and needs to be positioned within the inch space outlined in Figure 7 so that it can properly communicate with the infrared sensor (Figure .). The remote trigger operates on one CR0 watch battery. To replace this battery, open the cover with a small screw driver, remove existing battery and replace with a new one and replace cover. (Figure 7) inches / 5mm (Figure 3) (Figure 4) 9 (Figure 5) (Figure 6) 0 NOTE: The electronics are set to automatically shut off after two hours of inactivity. Therefore, to re-instate use of the infrared remote trigger pad, the main power button (Figure 1.2) must first be depressed. EYEPIECEFOCUSINg When still-hunting or stalking game, a variable scope should be set to the lowest power. You then have the widest field of view for quick shots at close range. Higher powers should be reserved for precise long-range shots. WARNING: This laser rangefinder riflescope should never be used as a substitute for a binocular, spotting scope, or measuring device only, as it may result in your inadvertently pointing the gun at another person. Before using this device, always remember it is mounted on a firearm and all firearm safety precautions apply. When handling firearms, always keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction. MOUNTINg(SeeFigure8) This adjusts the focus so that the reticle (cross hairs) appears sharp to your eyes. All Bushnell laser rangefinder riflescopes are focused at the factory for 0/0 or corrected vision. If the reticle appears sharp, no adjustment is needed. If the reticle appears unsharp, adjust as follows. The FAST FOCUS eyepiece (Figure .4) is designed to provide a precise fast focus. Simply look at a distant object for several seconds without using your scope. Then, shift your vision quickly, looking though the scope at a plain background. Turn the fast-focus eyepiece clockwise or counter clockwise until the reticle pattern is sharp and clear. WARNING: Never look at the sun through the laser rangefinder riflescope (or any other optical instrument). It may permanently damage your eye. VARIABLEPOWERADJUSTMENTS To achieve the best accuracy from your rifle, your Bushnell scope must be mounted properly. (We strongly recommend that those unfamiliar with proper procedures have the scope mounted by a qualified gunsmith). Should you decide to mount it yourself: Use the enclosed mount system. The mounts are made to fit the weaver style dovetail system. Before mounting the scope, determine approximately where you would like it to be on the rifle. The slots on the bottom of the riflescope allow you great flexibility in mounting the scope forward or to the rear. WARNING: If the scope is not mounted far enough forward, its rearward motion may injure the shooter when the rifle recoils. To change magnification, simply rotate the Power Change Ring (Figure .5) to align the desired number on the power scale with the Red Arrow Indicator. The front mount has a key that fits into the slots on the riflescope dovetail. Choose the appropriate slot and attach the front mount securely with the two scope dovetail screws. The rear mount does not have a key allowing it to slide forward or backward on the dovetail of the riflescope to fit. Loosely place it on the riflescope dovetail ­ leave the two screws loose for now so that the mount can slide on the dovetail. Place the riflescope on the rifle, fitting the front and rear mounts to the weaver bases. Space the mounts as far apart as possible to provide stability. Lightly tighten the screws holding the mounts to the weaver bases. Now look through the scope in your normal shooting position. Adjust the scope (either forward or backward with the mounts) until you find the furthest point forward (to insure maximum eye relief ) that allows you to see a full field of view. Tighten the mounting screws as tight as possible. ELEVATIONANDWINDAgEADJUSTMENT Your Bushnell® YARDAGE PRO® LASER RANGEFINDER RIFLESCOPE features finger-adjustable, audible-click elevation and windage adjustments. If the point of impact of the bullet deviates from the aiming point, then adjustment of the windage and elevation must be made. To adjust windage, remove the threaded cap from the Windage Adjustment (Figure .7). Grasp the knob and turn it in the appropriate "L" (Left) and/or "R" (Right) direction indicated by the arrows. Each "click" or increment on the adjustment scale ring will change the bullet impact by /4" Minute of Angle. /4 MOA corresponds to /4 inch at 00 yards, / inch at 00 yards, 3/4 inch at 300 yards and so on. RESETTINgThEADJUSTMENTSCALERINg This step is not necessary, but, for future reference, you may want to realign the zero marks on the Adjustment Scale Rings with the index dots. Key - Using a coin, remove the center screw from the windage or elevation control. Lift the turret up being careful not to rotate it. - Position the turret to zero, or where you would like it to be. - Replace and tighten the center screw, making sure you do not rotate the turret.
