1. high speed clock are used to instantaneously calculate distances by measuring the time it takes for each pulse to travel from the rangefinder to the target and back The ranging accuracy of the CABELA S VIR is plus or minus one yard meter under most circumstances The maximum range of the instrument depends on the reflectivity of the target The maximum distance for most objects is 570 yards 521 meters while for highly reflective objects the maximum is 700 yards 640 meters Note You will get both longer and shorter maximum distances depending on the 3 reflective properties of the particular target and the environmental conditions at the time the object is being distanced to The color surface finish size and shape of the target all affect reflectivity and range The brighter the color the longer the range Red is highly reflective for example and allows longer ranges than the color black which is the least reflective color A shiny finish provides more range than a dull one A small target is more difficult to range than a larger target The angle to the target also has an effect Shooting to a target at a 90 degree angle where the target surface is perpendicular to the flight 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 The less light e g overcast2. skies the farther the unit s maximum range will be Conversely very sunny days will decrease the unit s maximum range OPERATIONAL SUMMARY While looking through the monocular depress the power button once to activate the in view display system LCD Aim the CABELA S VIR at a target at least 10 yards away depress and hold the power button down until range reading is displayed Release the power button Your CABELA S VIR features an adjustable eyepiece Simply rotate the monocular until the reticle and object distanced to are in focus to your eye Note Once activated the LCD will remain active and display the last distance measurement for 6 seconds You can depress the power button again at any time to distance to a new target As with any laser device it is not recommended to directly view the emissions for long periods of time with magnified lenses FEATURES The CABELA S VLR s sophisticated digital technology allows you to select between various units of measure and targeting modes In addition your CABELA S VLR s LCD incorporates illuminated indicators that advise you when the laser is active and when the battery charge is low A summary of these features is presented below UNIT OF MEASURE OPTIONS The CABELA S VLR can be used to measure distances in yards or meters The unit of measure indicators are located in the upper right portion of the LCD To select between yards and meters look through the monocular depress the mode b
