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. In reduced light (e.g. overcast skies) the unit’s maximum range will increase.
Conversely, very sunny days will decrease the unit’s maximum range.
MAGNIFICATION AND COATINGS
The HYBRID’s laser rangefinder features 5x magnification and multi-coated optics. A liquid crystal display
(LCD) is mounted within the optical system and when activated, displays a reticle for targeting, and
indicators for distance units (Yards/Meters) and PinSeeker operation. 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.
ADJUSTING THE EYEPIECE
Your HYBRID is constructed with an adjustable eyepiece (+/- 2 diopter range) that allows one to focus
the LCD display relative to the image. Simply rotate the eyepiece until the reticle and your ranging target
both appear sharp to your eye.
LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY (LCD) INDICATORS
Your HYBRID LCD incorporates illuminated indicators that will let you know the unit of measure for the
displayed range, the laser’s active firing status, confirmation when a target has been acquired, and the
targeting mode. These LCD indicators function as follows:
UNIT OF MEASURE (display indication=Y or M)
The HYBRID can display the ranged distance in yards or meters. The unit of measure indicators are located in the lower
