Section 2 - Quick Start
Now that you’ve unpacked and have been introduced to the RD 1000, this
section will help you get started with an example of a BAF measurement.
The BAF Mode is covered in more detail in Section 5 (page 18).
1. Install the batteries (page 6).
2. Press-and-hold the Power button for a approximately 2 seconds.
3. Select the measurement units.
a. Press the MODE button until the external LCD displays the
SYS Mode Indicator and the message “Prcnt” appears in the
main display.
b. Press the FWD button until the external LCD displays the UNITS
Status Indicator and the Unit Indicators are flashing.
Metric: M and CM Unit Indicators flashing.
Imperial:F and I Unit Indicators flashing.
c. Press the UP or DOWN button to toggle between Metric and
Imperial Measurement Units.
4. Press the MODE button until the external LCD displays the BAF
Mode Indicator, the EDIT Function Indicator, and the default
(or previous) BAF value.
5. If you want to use the same BAF value, go to step #6. To enter a
new BAF value, press the EDIT button and then use the arrow
buttons to edit the BAF value.
¶ Valid Values: 1 - 127 (Imperial) or 0.3 - 29.1 (Metric).
a. Press the UP or DOWN button to increase/decrease the value.
b. Press the FWD or BACK button to move to next/previous digit.
c. Press the ENTER button the accept the new BAF value.
6. Looking through the sighting scope, press-and-hold the TRIGGER
button to activate the illuminated in-scope LED Measurement Bar
Scale and dynamic inclination tracking. The bar scale represents the
subtended horizontal angle away from the unit that corresponds
to the BAF value. The scale adjusts as you aim up or down a slope.
7. Aim to the tree DBH and release the TRIGGER button. The bar scale
is held and displayed in-scope LED for approximately 30 seconds.

• The Magnifier has no practical application in the BAF Mode.
• If you are working in Imperial measurement units and want to set
the BAF value to tenth's of a whole number, such as 17.5 BAF:
1. Change the measurement units to Metric (see step #3 above).
2. Return to the BAF Mode (step #5 above) and enter the metric
equivalent of the Imperial BAF value that you want to use.
• Calculate the metric equivalent by multiplying the
Imperial BAF by 0.22957.
• For the above example, 17.5 x 0.22957 = 4.0.
3. Continue with steps #6 and #7 above.
