The Bushnell Pro™ 1600 Laser Rangefinder is a premium optical instrument designed for golfers, offering advanced digital technology for accurate distance measurements. It is recognized as a top-of-the-line laser rangefinder, utilized by many golf professionals.
The Pro™ 1600 emits invisible, eye-safe infrared energy pulses to instantaneously calculate distances by measuring the time it takes for each pulse to travel from the rangefinder to the target and back. This allows for precise range readings from 5 to 1600 yards (5 to 1463 meters). The device features Selective Targeting™ Modes, superb optical quality, 100% waterproof construction, and Bushnell's RainGuard® HD coating.
To insert the battery, slide the door outward, then open the hinged door. Insert one 9-volt alkaline battery into the slot, ensuring correct orientation. Close the battery door and slide it until it locks into place. Only high-quality alkaline batteries should be used; heavy-duty or lithium batteries are not recommended. The battery should be replaced at least once every 12 months. A "loB" display or continuously blinking Y (Yards) or M (Meters) indicator signifies a low battery.
The Pro™ 1600 has a twist-up eyepiece for comfort and to exclude extraneous light. For users without eyeglasses, rotate the eyecup counter-clockwise and pull up until it locks in the "up" position. For users with eyeglasses, ensure the eyecup is in the down position for a full field of view. The eyecup can also be set to intermediate positions. The adjustable eyepiece (+/- 2 Diopter Adjustment) allows focusing the LCD display relative to the image by rotating the diopter setting.
The LCD provides illuminated indicators for:
To switch between yards and meters:
The Pro™ 1600 offers different targeting modes tailored for golfers:
PinSeeker (LCD Indicator: Flag icon): This mode facilitates easy acquisition of the flag without inadvertently ranging background targets (e.g., trees) with stronger signal strength. To use:
PinSeeker with Slope +/-™ (LCD Indicator: ▷ - Model 205106 only): This mode incorporates a built-in inclinometer to measure slope angle and compute an angle-compensated range.
Standard with Automatic SCAN: This mode allows ranging targets up to 1600 yards, suitable for moderately reflective targets. The minimum distance is 5 yards.
The unit features a threaded tripod mount on the bottom, allowing attachment to Bushnell Golf Accessories such as the Golf Cart Mount or Push/Pull Cart Monopod for enhanced stability and convenience.
The outer surfaces of the objective and eyepiece lenses are treated with RainGuard® HD, a permanent, patented, hydrophobic coating. This repels water, causing condensation from rain, sleet, snow, or breath to bead into smaller, uniform droplets. These smaller droplets scatter less light, resulting in a clearer, brighter view in adverse weather conditions.
