Newcon Optik LRM 1500M Manuel D’Utilisation

To start the measuring procedure, remove the lens cover. Look 
through the eyepiece (1, Fig. 1, 2) and adjust the focus by its 
rotating.  
When the Rangefinder is off the LCD is blank. To activate it 
press and hold A button (6, Fig. 1) for half a second. At start the 
unit comes into Ready to Measure mode indicated by the word 
‘READY’ on the display visible through eyepiece. You may 
need to adjust the focus again so that both the display and distant 
objects are seen sharp through the optical system. 
Pressing A button (6, Fig. 1) in Ready to Measure mode initiates 
measurement. The result of measurement is displayed in a form 
that depends on the measurement parameters (see Setup Mode).  
If measurement is unsuccessful four dashes (‘----‘) will be 
displayed in the area (4, Fig. 3). For successful measurement the 
target must be at least 10 m away.  
The unit will switch off automatically after 16 seconds of 
inactivity. 

Though maximum measurement distance depends on target 
reflectivity, weather conditions and other conditions, for most 
relatively large targets the unit will provide accurate ranging for 
up to 1500 (LRM 1500M) or 1800 (LRM 1800S) meters.
