USER MANUAL Disc Edge BUSHNELL

Thank you for purchasing your new Bushnell® Edge Disc Golf Rangender. This manual will help you optimize your viewing experience by explaining how to utilize the rangender’s features and how to care for it. Read the instructions carefully before using your rangender.

WARNING: As with any laser device, it is not recommended to directly view the emissions for long periods of time

with magnied lenses. INTRODUCTION Your Bushnell® Edge is an ultra-compact, premium laser rangender with the latest Digital Technology, providing precise range readings from 15-2,550 feet (4.6-777 meters). Measuring 1.3 x 4.2 x 2.9 inches, the 6-ounce Edge delivers high- speed target acquisition, with +/- 3 feet accuracy to the maximum range. The Edge Disc Golf Rangender features Bushnell’s Z-Mode Height Measurement, a new Ranging Engine for faster, more consistent response and readings, a Vivid LCD display with higher light transmission, and water-resistant (IPX4) construction. *Note: You will get both longer and shorter maximum distances depending on the reective properties of the particular target and the environmental conditions at the time the distance of an object is being measured. The color, surface nish, size, and shape of the target all affect reectivity and range. The brighter the color, the longer the range. White is highly reective, for example, and allows longer ranges than the color black, which is the least reective color. A shiny nish provides more range than a dull one. A small target is more difcult to range than a larger target. The angle to the target also affects. Shooting to a target at a 70-degree angle (where the target surface is perpendicular to the ight path of the emitted energy pulses) provides a good range. In contrast, a steep angle, on the other hand, provides limited ranging. Also, 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. Conversely, very sunny days will decrease the unit’s maximum range.

HOW OUR DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY WORKS

The Edge Disc Golf Rangender emits invisible, eye-safe, infrared energy pulses. The Edge Rangender’s microprocessor results in instantaneous and accurate readings every time. Sophisticated digital technology instantaneously calculates distances by measuring the time it takes for each pulse to travel from the rangender to the target and back.

BATTERY ACTIVATION / BATTERY LIFE INDICATOR

Before rst use: Remove the battery compartment cover by lifting the battery cover tab and then rotating the cover counter-clockwise. Remove and discard the “Remove Battery Disk” sticker covering the positive battery terminal, then replace the battery cover. NOTE: It is recommended that the CR2 3-volt lithium battery be replaced at least once every 12 months. Please insert it into the negative end into the compartment rst. PARTS GUIDE

Battery Level Indicator Icon (1): Full charge 3/4 battery level remaining 1/2 battery level remaining 1/4 battery level remaining Battery icon blinks - battery needs to be replaced, and the unit will not be operable. BASIC OPERATION While looking through the laser rangender, press and release the Power/Fire button to activate the display. If the display appears blurry, rotate the rubber eyecup/diopter adjustment in either direction until the display is sharp for your vision. Placing the aiming circle (located in the center of the display) on a target at least 5-6 meters away, depress and hold the Fire button down until the range reading is displayed below the aiming circle. Once a range has been acquired, you can release the Fire button. The four “crosshairs” just outside the aiming circle will go out, indicating the laser is no longer being transmitted. The display will remain on and display the last distance measurement for about 15 seconds until the display automatically switches off to extend battery life. You can press the Fire button again at any time to check the range to a new target. To re-re, press the button again. To scan the laser across an area and get continuously updated range readings, continue to hold the Fire button down and sweep the rangender over multiple targets. The crosshairs outside the aiming circle will ash to indicate scan operation.

DISPLAY INDICATORS/ICONS

The Edge Rangender’s display incorporates the following illuminated indicators: Battery Level Indicator (1) Aiming Circle/Dot (2) Active/Scan Laser Indicator (3) Standard “Line of Sight” Distance (4) Distance Units Indicators (5): M=Meters (blank if Feet) Angle Indicator-incline in degrees (6) Z-Mode Elevation Measurement (7a) / FEEt (Feet) Distance Units Indicator (during setup only) (7b) SELECTING UNITS OF MEASURE (METERS/FEET) The Edge Disc Golf rangender measures distance in meters or feet. The unit of measure indicators for Meters (5) is located to the right of the Standard “Line of Sight” Distance (4). If “M” (5) highlighted when ranging, distances are in Feet (default). To select a different unit of measure, start with the unit powered off. Press and continue to hold the Fire button. “M” or “FEEt” will begin ashing, with the display slowly cycling through these two unit options (5,7b). Release the Fire button when your desired display units are ashing. To select a different unit of measure, repeat this process. AUTOMATIC SCAN To use the Automatic SCAN feature, press and hold the Fire button, then move the rangender from object to object while keeping the Fire button depressed. Automatic SCAN will cause the standard line of sight distance readout (4) to be continuously updated as multiple objects are targeted. The Active/Scan indicator lines (3) ash while scanning.

Z-MODE HEIGHT MEASUREMENT

Z-Mode displays the elevation of the target relative to where you are ranging from. This can help with elevated baskets or large uphill or downhill shots that can be tough to visually gauge.

CLEANING AND GENERAL CARE

The lenses of your Bushnell Edge Disc Golf Rangender are multi-coated for the highest light transmission. As with any multi-coated optics, special care must be taken 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 ngerprints, clean with a microber cloth rubbing in a circular motion. Use of coarse cloth or unnecessary rubbing may scratch the lens surface and eventually cause permanent damage. Breathe lightly on the lens to provide a slight amount of moisture, then gently rub the lens with the microber cloth. For a more thorough cleaning, photographic lens tissue and photographic-type lens cleaning uid or isopropyl alcohol may be used. Always apply the liquid to the cleaning cloth – never directly on the lens. The rangender 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 rangender. 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 target range cannot be obtained:

• Make sure the display is illuminated.

• Make sure that the Power/Fire button is being depressed.

• Ensure that nothing, such as your hand or nger, is blocking the lenses at the front of the rangender that emits and receive the laser pulses.

• Make sure the unit is being held 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. SKU Mag x Obj Lens Diam.
