The unit projects an eye-safe laser to the target, which bounces it back to the sending unit, and in milli-seconds a distance reading is displayed in the viewfinder. Our Laser Rangefinders are accurate to within one yard, plus/minus. Practicing with your Rangefinder is important to acquire the best reading as there are many variables that will effect performance. Four different built-in modes allow the user to acquire the target more effectively and accurately.
The I-ON Optics Rangefinders measure distance in your choice of yards or meters, and in several different operating modes:
Standard Mode: Will be used in most circumstances to provide an accurate reading.
Rain Mode: Use this setting to assist the rangefinder to cut through rain.
Reflective Mode: This mode will help you cut through interference such as ground fog in the fairway in early mornings, or in and across a field. If electrical interference is suspected this mode will help "shoot" through it.
150: This mode will help eliminate readings from brush in the path of the laser that may send back false readings. This mode will acquire targets only in excess of 150 meters.
Note that the golf industry now accepts the use of range finders for use in tournament play and for the posting of scores for handicap purposes.
