Rangefinder Measurements When you activate the laser rangefinder, the device displays three numbers on the LCD display. The device uses these measurements to adjust the position of the pin. Level Indicator When enabled, the level indicator shows when you are holding the bow level. Level indicators appear as three dots above or below your aiming pin. The top indicator flashes when the bow is canted to the right. The bottom indicator flashes when the bow is canted to the left. The bow is level when no indicators flash.
