MAINTENANCE
Cleaning
Your laser rangefinder requires very little routine maintenance
other than periodically cleaning the exterior lenses. The
exterior may be cleaned by wiping with a soft cloth. When
cleaning the lenses, be sure to use products that are
specifically designed for use on coated optical lenses.
• Be sure to blow away any dust or grit on the lenses prior
to wiping the surfaces.
• Using your breath, or a small amount of water or pure
alcohol, can help remove stubborn dried water spots.
Lubrication
All components of the Anarch
™
are permanently lubricated,
so no additional lubricant should be applied.
Note: Other than to remove the Battery Cap, do not attempt to
disassemble any components of the rangefinder. Disassembling of
rangefinder may void warranty.
Storage
If possible, avoid storing your rangefinder in direct
sunlight or any very hot location for long periods of time.
RANGEFINDING TIPS
Laser rangefinders work by emitting a brief pulse of light
aimed at a target object. Distance is determined by the
amount of time taken for the light to emit and return to the
laser’s internal receiver. A laser’s ability to read range can be
affected by many things—mostly relating to the target objects.
• Light colors will usually reflect better than dark ones.
• Snow, rain, and fog will have adverse effects on ranging ability.
• Dull or textured surfaces will not reflect as well as a hard,
shiny surface.
• Ranging under cloud cover can improve laser performance
compared to bright, sunny conditions.
• Solid objects, such as rocks, will reflect better than bushes.
• Flat surfaces perpendicular to the laser will reflect better than
curved surfaces or surfaces angled in relation to the laser.
• Ranging over water can sometimes cause false reflections
and readings.
• At longer distances, larger objects will be easier to range
than smaller objects.
• If you have difficulty ranging an object, try ranging a
different nearby object, or use the Scan feature to pan back
and forth while watching for changes in range.
