Using The Setup Menu - Bushnell PRIME 1800 Mode D'emploi

TRIPOD MOUNT
Molded into the bottom of this Bushnell Rangefinder is a threaded 1/4" - 20 female tripod mount that will allow you to attach
a tripod for a more stable operation during long periods of use.
TARGETING MODES
The Prime™ 1800 laser rangefinder operates in three targeting modes, with Standard mode as the default. To select a
different targeting mode, press the Mode button briefly until the desired indicator (BullsEye or Brush) appears. To return to
Standard mode, press Mode one more time after the Brush mode indicator is seen. The targeting modes are:
• Standard Mode with Automatic SCAN (LCD Indicator – none) This setting allows most targets to range up to 1800 yards.
They are used for moderately reflective targets that are typical of most distancing situations. The minimum distance in
the standard model is 5 yards. To use the Automatic SCAN feature, press and hold the Fire button, then move the
rangefinder from object to object while keeping the Fire button depressed. Automatic SCAN will allow the range to be
continuously updated as multiple objects are targeted. Crosshair lines flash while scanning.
• BullsEye™ Mode with Automatic SCAN (LCD Indicator (6) -
targets and game without inadvertently getting distances to background targets that have stronger signal strength.
When more than one object is acquired, only the distance of the closest object will be displayed.
With the rangefinder in BullsEye mode, align the aiming circle onto the object (i.e., deer) that you want to find the
distance. Next, press and hold the Fire button and move the Aiming Circle slowly over the deer. If the laser beam
recognized more than one object (deer and background trees), the distance of the closer object (deer) is displayed in
the LCD.
• Brush™ Mode with Automatic SCAN (LCD Indicator (7) -
branches to be ignored so that distance only to background objects are displayed. When more than one object is
acquired, only the distance of the farthest object will is displayed on the LCD.
With the rangefinder in Brush mode, align the aiming circle onto the object that you want to find the distance. Next,
press and hold the Fire button and move the Aiming Circle slowly over the object. If the laser beam recognized more
than one object (closeup tree branch and a deer in the background), a further object (deer) would be displayed.
TIP: While pressing the Fire 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 furthest of the objects recognized by the laser.
Once the device has shut off, the unit will always default back to the last targeting mode.
ANGLE RANGE COMPENSATION (ARC)
The Prime™ 1800 Laser Rangefinder with ARC™ is specially designed with hunters in mind. Your Prime™ 1800 rangefinder
features a built-in inclinometer that solves a problem hunters have had for years. Bow and rifle hunters have struggled with
extreme uphill and downhill angles because these angles alter true horizontal distance to your target. The ARC™ solution:
an integrated inclinometer provides angular data to a processor chip when targeting either uphill or downhill objects. This
data is combined with internal algorithmic formulas. The user-selectable ARC modes allow you to adjust the performance
parameters of the unit to suit your specific situation and environment.
Along with the standard "line of sight" distance, the Fire button will display the true horizontal distance in Bow Mode-see the
ARC MODES section. In Rifle Mode, display bullet-drop/holdover near the bottom of the display (14), along with the angle
of the incline in degrees (indicated at the left side of the display (16)). For example, a bowhunter in a tree stand may aim at a
downhill deer at a -52o relative to his position. The line of sight distance is 32 yards, but he is likely to "overshoot" the target
based on that. The THD distance (compensated for the angle) reads 23 yards. That is the distance the hunter should use to
base his shot.

USING THE SETUP MENU

The Setup Menu is used to select various options, such as the ARC Mode (Bow, Rifle, etc.) and distance units (Yards or Meters)
of your preference. After powering on the unit, enter the Setup Menu and by holding the Mode button down until "SETUP"
appears in the display (15). You will remain in the Setup Menu until you change or confirm all possible settings (varies
depending on selected ARC mode), and "SETUP" is no longer displayed. Once in the Setup Menu, press the Mode button to
scroll through or toggle the available items. Press the Fire button to confirm and save the currently displayed option/setting.
The first item you can select from the Setup Menu is the ARC Mode. Press the Mode button until the icon for the mode
you want is displayed. Press the Fire button to confirm and continue selecting other related options/settings. More details
regarding the various ARC modes are in the next section.
