SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

  • Handle the GoTo Rangefinder with care. The GoTo Rangefinder may get damaged if dropped, disassembled, or exposed to liquids or to temperatures below -20°C (-4°F) or above 60°C (140°F).
  • Do not look at the sun through the eyepiece; doing so may cause permanent damage to your eyes and certain internal parts of the GoTo Rangefinder.

BASIC OPERATION

 

  1. The  GoTo Rangefinder is an optical telescope when it is not turned on. If the display in the eyepiece is blurry, rotate the eyepiece adjustment in either direction until the display is sharp. 
  2. Press and release the Power Button to turn on the GoTo Rangefinder. Aim the Target Indicator on a target at least 15 feet / 5 meters / 5 yards away and press the Power Button to display the slope distance, being the distance from the GoTo Rangefinder to the target.
  3. Press and hold the Power Button and the Mode Button simultaneously to switch among the unit measurements of feet, meters and yards.
  4. The GoTo Rangefinder is programmed to shut off automatically to extend its battery life if it is not used for approximately 30 seconds. There is no off button. When you insert the power cord into the GoTo Rangefinder, the battery indicator to the right of the insertion point will flash red if not fully charged and green if fully charged.

HOW THE TECHNOLOGY WORKS

 The GoTo Rangefinder uses a 905 nanometer laser that meets the standard of Class 1 and is safe for human eyes. It emits energy pulses and its microprocessor determines slope distance, horizontal distance and vertical height by calculating how much time it takes for each pulse to travel from the GoTo Rangefinder to the target and from the target back to the GoTo Rangefinder.  

SEVEN DIFFERENT MEASUREMENT MODES

 The GoTo Rangefinder displays measurement in seven (7) different modes. The last mode in use will be displayed when the GoTo Rangefinder is turned on. Press the Mode Button to change modes. The modes will change in the following sequence. 

1. Vertical Distance Mode (VD)

Measures the difference in elevation from the GoTo Rangefinder to a target. 

  1. Press and release the Power Button to start.
  2. Press The Mode Button until VD is displayed.
  3. Aim the Target Indicator at a target.
  4. Press the Power Button to measure.
  5. The vertical distance will be displayed.
  6. Note that the slope distance is displayed in all modes and the angle (the angle from the GoTo Rangefinder to a target measured from -90° to +90°) is displayed in all modes except Storage Mode.

2. Horizontal Distance Mode (HD)

Measures the horizontal distance (the distance to a point above or below a target) as the GoTo Rangefinder scans an area. 

  1. Press and release the Power Button to start.
  2. Press the Mode Button until HD is displayed.
  3. Aim the Target Indicator at a target.
  4. Press the Power Button to measure.
  5. The horizontal distance will be displayed.

3. Two Points Height Measurement Mode (HT)

 Measures the height difference between two targets. 

  1. Press and release the Power Button to start.
  2. Press the Mode Button until HT is displayed.
  3. Aim the Target Indicator at a first target and press the Power Button.
  4. When the HT flashes, aim the Target Indicator at a second target and press the Power Button.
  5. The vertical height between the two targets will be displayed.

4. Closest Distance Measurement Mode (CL)

Measures the distance of the closest target among various targets. 

  1. Press and release the Power Button to start.
  2. Press the Mode Button until CL is displayed.
  3. Aim the Target Indicator at various targets.
  4. Press and hold the Power Button to measure; the GoTo Rangefinder will record measurements for multiple targets.
  5. The data displayed using the CL mode indicates the distance of the closest target.

5. Farthest Distance Measurement Mode (FA)

Measures the distance of the farthest target among various targets. 

  1. Press and release the Power Button to start.
  2. Press the Mode Button until FA is displayed.
  3. Aim the Target Indicator at various targets.
  4. Press and hold the Power Button to measure; the GoTo Rangefinder will record measurements for multiple targets.
  5. The data displayed using the CL mode indicates the distance of the farthest target.

6. Golf Distance Compensation ModE

Calculates the recommended throwing distance after accounting for elevation.

  1. Press and release the Power Button to start.
  2. Press the Mode Button until the flagpole is displayed.
  3. Aim the Target Indicator at a target.
  4. Press the Power Button to measure.
  5. The recommended throwing distance will be displayed. When the target is above the GoTo Rangefinder the recommended throwing distance will be greater than the actual distance; when the target is below the GoTo Rangefinder, the recommended throwing distance will be less than the actual distance.

7. STORAGE MODE (LB FOR LOOK BACK)

Stores your most recent 20 slope distance readings with the most recent measurement (01) displayed first. 

  1. Press and release the Power Button to start.
  2. Press the Mode Button until lb is displayed on the bottom.
  3. Press the Power Button to scroll through previous measurements.

angle calibration

After taking a measurement with the GoTo Rangefinder at a horizontal plane, the angle value should display as 0° if the GoTo Rangefinder is properly calibrated.

  1. Press and release the Power Button to start.
  2. Press the Mode Button until HD Mode is displayed.
  3. Press and hold the Mode Button for two seconds.
  4. The angle value should be displayed as CAL.
  5. Place the GTDGR on a horizontal plane with adjusted horizontal angle.
  6. Press the Mode Button to complete angle calibration.
