Units Settings From the main menu, select > Units. Distance: Sets the unit of measure for distance. Decimal Precision: Shows more precise measurements for the laser rangefinder. Measurements are rounded to the nearest tenth of a meter or yard. Level Settings From the main menu, select > Level. View Gauge: Displays the angle of the bow. You can use this option to adjust the position of the bubble level. Set Level to Zero: Sets the electronic level to zero. You can use this option if you have mechanically leveled your bow but the digital level does not read zero. Indicators: Sets level indicators to appear when shooting. This can help you hold the bow level while aiming (Level Indicator, page 4). Threshold: Sets the amount of degrees of cant allowed before the indicators flash. A lower threshold reduces the amount of cant allowed. Indicator Color: Sets the color of the level indicator. NOTE: This setting is available only on A1i models. NOTE: The device stores pins that are positioned above or below the optic. These pins are still listed as calibrated ranges, and can be moved back onto the optic at any time. 1 From the main menu, select > Manual Adjustment > Move Calibrated Range Stack. 2 Select Yes. 3 Press or to adjust the position of the range stack. 4 Press OK. 5 Follow the on-screen instructions to calibrate the device for the new stack position (Setting the Primary Pin, page 2). Device Information Device Specifications Battery type Battery life Operating temperature range Replaceable 1.5 V AAA lithium Up to 25,000 laser ranges Up to 1 year in standby mode From -20° to 60°C (from -4° to 140°F) NOTICE Do not expose the device to temperatures above 60°C (140°F). Calibrating the Compass NOTE: You must calibrate the electronic compass outdoors. Do not stand near objects that influence magnetic fields, such as cars, buildings, or overhead power lines. Your device was already calibrated at the factory, and the device uses automatic calibration by default. If the Laser Locate feature is not working properly, for example, after moving long distances or after extreme temperature changes, you can manually calibrate the compass. NOTE: The Laser Locate and compass features are available only on A1i models. 1 From the main menu, select > Calibrate Compass. 2 Follow the on-screen instructions. Customizing the Position of the Top Pin For bow configurations that require additional vertical adjustment, you can customize the position of the top pin. This can also be useful for people who prefer the short range pins to be more centered within the device optic. NOTE: Changing the position of the top pin clears all arrow profile settings. 1 From the main menu, select > Manual Adjustment > Custom Top Pin Placement. 2 Select Yes. 3 Press or to adjust the position of the top pin. 4 Press OK. 5 Follow the on-screen instructions to calibrate the device for the new top pin position (Setting the Primary Pin, page 2). Moving the Calibrated Range Stack You can move the calibrated pins up or down to allow more adjustment in the direction of your choice. For example, if your primary pin is set at 20 yards, and your maximum pin is set at 70 yards, you can move the range stack up so you can add pins for farther ranges. Alternatively, you can move the calibrated range stack down so your pins are more centered within the device optic. You must adjust your mechanical alignment after moving the calibrated range stack. Moving the calibrated range stack updates all arrow profile settings.
