The Callaway Micro Pro Laser Rangefinder is a sophisticated optical device designed to assist golfers in accurately determining distances on the course. This manual provides comprehensive instructions on its operation, features, and maintenance, ensuring users can maximize its potential for improved game performance.

Function Description

The primary function of the Callaway Micro Pro Laser Rangefinder is to measure distances to various targets, such as flagsticks, hazards, and other points of interest on a golf course. It achieves this by emitting a laser beam and calculating the time it takes for the beam to reflect off the target and return to the device. The rangefinder offers several modes of operation to cater to different golfing scenarios, including Standard Mode for larger objects, P.A.T. (Pin Acquisition Technology) with Pulse Technology for smaller targets like flagsticks, and Scanning Mode for continuous measurement across multiple targets.

A key feature of this rangefinder is its Slope Function, which provides slope-adjusted distances, taking into account changes in elevation between the user and the target. This feature can be toggled on or off, making the device compliant with tournament rules when the slope function is disabled. When the slope function is active, the device displays both the actual distance and the slope-adjusted distance, offering a more precise understanding of the shot required.

The device incorporates a clear LCD display that presents all relevant information, including the measured distance, unit of measure (yards or meters), laser indicator, P.A.T. mode indicator, pulse indicator, angle of incline/decline, and slope-adjusted distance. An aiming square helps users precisely target their desired object.

Usage Features

Unit of Measure: The Callaway Micro Pro Laser Rangefinder allows users to switch between yards ("Y") and meters ("M"). To change the unit, the device must be powered off. Users then press and hold the Mode Button for 3 seconds. The selected unit is indicated directly to the right of the displayed distance.

Powering On and Focusing: To power on the device, users look through the eyepiece and press and release the Power Button. For optimal clarity, the Diopter Adjustment, located on the eyepiece, can be rotated to focus the view.

Measuring Distances:

Standard Mode: This mode is recommended for measuring distances to larger objects. After powering on, users aim the Zero-In Aiming Square at the target and press the Power Button. The laser fires, and the measured distance appears on the LCD display.
P.A.T. with Pulse Technology: Ideal for targeting flagsticks or other small objects, this mode provides a short vibration to confirm that the laser has locked onto the pin. To activate P.A.T. Mode, users quickly press the Mode Button once while the device is powered on. An icon representing a flagstick will appear on the right side of the LCD, and a pulse icon will appear on the left. In this mode, the device prioritizes the closest object, which is particularly useful when a flagstick is in front of trees or other background objects.
Scanning Mode: For measuring distances to multiple targets in succession, users power on the device by pressing and releasing the Power Button. Then, by holding down the Power Button, the laser will continuously fire for 3 seconds. The Laser Indicator will flash, and measurements will update as the user scans the landscape and changes targets. The device will lock onto the closest distance measured during this period.

Slope Function: The slope function can be toggled on or off using the "S" button on the top of the unit.

Slope Off (Green Flashing Indicator): When the indicator light flashes green, the slope function is off. In this state, the laser is tournament legal, as only actual distances are displayed.
Slope On (Red Flashing Indicator): When the indicator light flashes red, the slope function is enabled. The device will display slope-adjusted yardage after every laser firing. In this mode, the laser is not tournament legal for official tournaments.

Maintenance Features

Charging: The Callaway Micro Pro Laser Rangefinder is equipped with a rechargeable battery.

Charging Process: To charge the device, insert the USB-C end of the charging cable into the Micro Pro and the standard USB end into a USB charging port or an AC adapter (not included). The recommended charging rate is 5V, 1A.
Charging Indicator: The indicator light will turn green once charging is complete.
Charging Time and Battery Life: A complete full charge typically takes about 6 hours. A fully charged battery is designed to last for over 100 rounds of golf, providing extended use between charges.

Safety Information: The manual includes a caution regarding the use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified, warning that such actions may result in hazardous radiation exposure. Users are advised to adhere strictly to the instructions provided to ensure safe operation.
