Bushnell PinSeeker 1500 Mode D'emploi page 5

UNIT OF MEASURE OPTIONS
The PINSEEKER ® 1500 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, quickly press and release the
POWER button to turn on the unit (on top of the unit), look through the eyepiece, depress the "MODE" button
(left side of the eyepiece) and hold it down for approximately 5 seconds. If you are changing from yards to meters,
a change in unit of measure will be indicated by the illumination of the M for meter indicator while the Y for Yard
indicator is turned off. If you are changing from meters to yards, the opposite will occur. The PINSEEKER
will return to the last unit of measure setting used each time the unit is turned on.
ACTIVE LASER
Crosshairs surrounding the aiming circle indicate that the laser is being transmitted. Once a range has been acquired,
you can release the power button. The crosshairs surrounding the circle will disappear once the power button has been
released (i.e. the laser is no longer being transmitted).
SELECTIVE TARGETING™ MODES
The PINSEEKER ® 1500 was especially designed with golfers in mind. The selective targeting modes allow you to
adjust the performance parameters of the unit to suit your specific situation and environment. To move from one
mode to another, press the POWER button once to turn on the unit. While looking through the eyepiece, press the
MODE button and quickly release. The different targeting modes available and mode indicators are listed below:
PinSeeker (LCD Indicator - ) Ever have trouble getting distance to the flag? This advanced mode allows easy
acquisition of the flag without inadvertently getting distances to background targets (i.e. trees) that have stronger
signal strength.

Once in this mode, press the POWER button to turn the unit on. Next, align the aiming circle reticle onto the flag
that you want distance to. Next, press and hold the POWER button and move the laser slowly over the flag or desired
object until a circle surrounds the flag indicator. If the laser beam recognized more than one object (i.e. flag and
background trees), distance of the flag will be displayed and a circle will surround the PinSeeker indicator informing
the user that distance to the flag (i.e. closer object) is being displayed in the LCD (as seen below). There may be times
when only the laser beam only sees one object in its path. In this case, the distance will be displayed, but because more
® 1500 than one object was not acquired, a circle will not surround the flag indicator.
TIP: While pressing the POWER button, you can move the device slowly from object to object and intentionally
force the laser to hit multiple objects to ensure that you are only displaying the closest of the objects recognized by
the laser.
Once the device has shut off, the unit will always default back to the PinSeeker mode.
