Lit. # 98-0350/06-04 FEATURES Your YARDAGE PRO TROPHY'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: UNIT OF MEASURE OPTIONS The YARDAGE PRO TROPHY can be used to measure distances in yards or meters. The unit of measure indicators are located in the lower right portion of the LCD. To select between yards and meters, remove the battery cover slide. Locate the internal yards to meter slide switch. To measure in yards, slide the switch to the "Y" position (Up). To measure in meters, slide the switch to the "M" position (Down). CLEANING Gently blow away any dust or debris on the lenses (or use a soft lens brush). To remove dirt or fingerprints, clean with a soft cotton cloth, rubbing in a circular motion. Use of a coarse cloth or unnecessary rubbing may scratch the lens surface and eventually cause permanent damage. 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.

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 YARDAGE PRO TROPHY. INTRODUCTION Your Bushnell® YARDAGE PRO TROPHY is an advanced laser rangefinder comprised of Digital Technology allowing range readings from 5-800 yards. Measuring a mere 1.8 x 4 x 3.3 inches, the 7.6 ounce YARDAGE PRO TROPHY delivers superb and accurate range performance to +/- one yard. Range to a deer as far as 300 yards out, a golf flag as far away as 200 yards, or to a tree 500 yards away for a reference point. The single button operation and vertical design allows outdoor enthusiasts to easily measure distance with confidence. The TROPHY includes the popular SCAN mode allowing the user to "scan" across the landscape while viewing a continuously updated LCD display of the distances between you and the targets you scan with the viewfinder. The YARDAGE PRO TROPHY 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. The ranging accuracy of the YARDAGE PRO TROPHY 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 for most objects is 500 yards / 457 meters while for highly reflective objects the maximum is 800 yards / 732 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. 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 YARDAGE PRO TROPHY 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 YARDAGE PRO TROPHY'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. TARGETING MODES The YARDAGE PRO TROPHY incorporates targeting modes that allow you to adjust the performance parameters of the unit to suit your specific situation and environment. The different targeting modes available are listed below: Standard (LCD Indicator - none) This setting allows most targets to be distanced up to 800 yards. Used for moderately reflective targets that are typical of most distancing situations. The minimum distance in the standard mode is 5 yards. SCAN (LCD Indicator - "SCAN") When the Power button is held down longer than 5 seconds, the unit transitions to SCAN mode. This mode allows the range to be continuously updated as long as the Power button remains depressed. The word "SCAN" will appear in the left side of the LCD once this mode is activated. ILLUMINATING INDICATORS Low Battery Charge ( ): When the low battery symbol is displayed in the upper right-hand portion of the LCD, the battery charge is getting low and the 9-volt alkaline battery should be replaced. Target Acquired: Informs the user that a distance measurement has been obtained. The message "TARGET ACQUIRED" will appear in the top portion of the LCD. The distance measured will appear at the bottom of the LCD in numerical form. SPECIFICATIONS OPTICAL DESIGN The YARDAGE PRO TROPHY features a powerful 5x magnification monocular for viewing your target. Optics are multi-coated to allow for improved resolution and contrast for a clear vivid image. A liquid crystal display (LCD) is mounted within the optical system and when activated, displays a reticle for targeting, yards / meters, and low battery indicators. Inherent in the manufacturing process are small black spots that appear in the optical system. These are a natural characteristic of the LCD and cannot be fully eliminated in the manufacturing process. They do not affect the distancing performance of the unit.

If target range cannot be obtained: · Make sure LCD is illuminated. · Make sure that the power button is being depressed. · Make sure that nothing, such as your hand or finger, is blocking the objective lenses (lenses closest to the target) that emit and receive the laser pulses. · Make sure unit is held steady while depressing power button. FRENCH Le YARDAGE PRO® TROPHY® est un instrument de précision conçu pour fournir de nombreuses années de service agréable. Ce livret vous permettra d'obtenir les performances optimales du télémètre à laser précis car il décrit ses caractéristiques, ses réglages et son entretien. Il est recommandé de lire ces instructions avant d'utiliser le YARDAGE PRO TROPHY afin d'en obtenir les performances les meilleures et la plus longue durée de service possible. INTRODUCTION Le télémètre à laser perfectionné YARDAGE PRO TROPHY de Bushnell® dispose d'une technologie numérique permettant des mesures de distances de 4,5 à 732 mètres (5 à 800 yards). Mesurant tout juste 4,5 x 10,1 x 8,3 cm (1,8 x 4 x 3,3 po), pesant à peine 215 g (7.6 oz), le YARDAGE PRO TROPHY permet une étonnante mesure des distances avec une précision de +/- 0,91 m (1 yard). Visez un cerf à une distance de 274 m (300 yd), ou un drapeau de golf à une distance de 183 m (200 yd), ou un arbre à une distance de 457 m (500 yd) comme point de référence. L'utilisation à un seul bouton et la conception verticale permettent aux amateurs d'activités de plein air de mesurer facilement les distances, avec confiance. Le télémètre TROPHY dispose du mode d'exploration (SCAN) qui permet à l'utilisateur de « balayer » le paysage et de voir l'affichage continu, mis à jour, sur l'écran à cristaux liquides, des distances le séparant des cibles qu'il vise dans le viseur. Le YARDAGE PRO TROPHY émet des pulsions d'énergie infrarouge invisibles et sans danger pour les yeux. La technologie numérique sophistiquée permet de calculer instantanément les distances en mesurant le temps mis par chaque pulsion pour aller du télémètre à la cible et en revenir. La précision de l'évaluation des distances par le YARDAGE PRO TROPHY est de plus ou moins un mètre/yard, dans la plupart des cas. La plage d'évaluation maximale de l'instrument dépend de la réflectivité de la cible. Pour la plupart des objets, la distance maximale est de 457 mètres/500 yards, mais elle peut aller jusqu'à 732 mètres/800 yards pour des objets très réfléchissants. Remarque : Les distances maximales sont plus longues ou plus courtes selon les propriétés de réflectivité des cibles et selon les conditions de l'environnement au moment des mesures. La couleur, le fini de surface, la taille et la forme de la cible affectent sa réflectivité et la plage de mesure. Plus la couleur est vive, plus la plage est longue. Par exemple, le rouge est très réfléchissant et permet des plages plus longues que le noir qui est la couleur la moins réfléchissante. Un fini brillant permet une plage plus longue qu'un fini mat. L'évaluation de la distance d'une cible de petite taille est plus difficile que celle d'une cible de grande taille. L'angle de la cible a aussi un effet. La visée d'une cible à un angle de 90 degrés (lorsque la surface de la cible est perpendiculaire au trajet des pulsions d'énergie émises) permet une bonne plage de mesure alors que la visée d'une cible à ...
