Laser Link Red Hot 9909 Instruction Manual And Warranty Information - page 2
Congratulations on your purchase of the Laser Link Red Hot! All of our Laser Link
products are designed specifically for those who enjoy playing the game of golf.
The Red Hot is not for every golfer, but in the right hands, it can be a powerful
tool for managing your game. To learn more about the Red Hot and the Laser
Link Distance System, please read through the instruction manual.
STARTING OUT
The Battery
Your new rangefinder comes with a
9-volt alkaline battery included inside
the packaging. Simply install the
battery to get started.
Be careful to install the battery in the correct direction, with the positive receptor
closer to the front of the rangefinder. If the battery door does not close easily,
the battery has been placed incorrectly.
When the battery runs low on power, a low battery indicator will appear on the
left side of the LCD screen. When replacing the battery, use only a 9-volt alkaline
battery. DO NOT use heavy duty or lithium batteries.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The operating instructions are especially important if you have used our
QuickShot Rangefinder in the past. Though the two rangefinders perform a
similar function, the operation of each is different, and using the Red Hot like
you would the QuickShot will not provide optimal performance.
The minimum range is 5 yards; the maximum range is 400 yards to a
non-reflective target, and 800 yards to our patented Laser Link Reflectors.
OPERATION NOTES
•
Rapid Fire
– The Red Hot Rangefinder has the capability for “rapid fire”
use. You do not need to wait for a previous yardage measurement to
clear the LCD screen prior to using again.
•
Auto Shutoff
– The Red Hot Rangefinder has an automatic shutoff function
that will automatically turn off the unit after approximately 6 seconds.
•
Weather Conditions
– Rain will affect performance only if the unit gets
water on the inside, or if the rain is falling intensely enough so that it
completely covers the reflector at all times.
Fog can have an effect on performance. The thicker the fog, the higher the
chance for limited ranging capabilities.
Do not expose the rangefinder to extreme heat or extreme cold for long periods
of time. Everyday use and travel are acceptable, and will not affect the
rangefinder itself. However, long-term storage in extreme temperatures can
have an effect on the rangefinder, battery performance, and/or battery life.
•
Water Resistance
– The Red Hot casing is
water resistant
, and is lined
at all access points with rubber seals to help prevent water entry. DO NOT
submerge the rangefinder in water.
MAINTENANCE
• To clean the lenses and LCD display, use a soft, clean cloth, such as you
would use on eyeglasses. Both the lenses and the LCD can be scratched,
so DO NOT use a hard-bristled brush. DO NOT use liquid of any kind to
clean these areas.
• Use ONLY soap and water to carefully clean the outer shell of the rangefinder.
DO NOT get the rangefinder overly wet, and DO NOT submerge the unit in
water.
• It is recommended that the Red Hot be stored in its carrying case when
not in use.

NOTE:
The maximum range of the Red Hot rangefinder can depend on several
factors, including target characteristics and environmental conditions. For instance,
longer maximum distances may be obtained to targets that are large in size, brightly
colored, or have a shiny finish. Ranging capability can also be affected by lighting
conditions (low light/overcast days will provide best performance), and the angle to
the target (i.e. a target at a 90-degree angle to the laser pulses will provide better
measurement characteristics than a target at a 45-degree angle).
To Use:
1. Hold the Red Hot with the LCD screen facing you.
2. Bring the hand-held unit up to your eye. Aim the scope in the direction of
your target.
3. To fire the laser,
PRESS AND RELEASE
the black “ON” button located under
your trigger finger. A red dot aiming reference will appear in the scope, and the
distance measurement will be made to where the red dot is aimed.
4. Your distance measurement will be displayed on the external LCD display.
NOTE:
The red dot in the scope is simply an aiming reference, not the
actual laser.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Issues that you encounter with any of our Laser Link rangefinders are often
easily solved without returning the unit to Laser Link Golf. In many cases,
the
remedy can be as simple as changing the battery
, and we recommend
that this be done prior to returning the product to Laser Link Golf.
The rangefinder is reading an incorrect yardage.
• Replace the battery. Check to see if the low battery indicator ( ) is
present on the LCD screen. If there is not enough power being supplied
to the rangefinder, yardage measurements may be compromised.
• The Laser Link Red Hot is capable of reading distance measurements in
both yards and meters. Occasionally, a user will accidentally change the
measurement setting from yards to meters (or from meters to yards),
causing him/her to believe the product is measuring incorrectly. You can
determine if the product is measuring in meters by simply hitting the “ON”
button and noticing if a “Y” or an “M” appears on the screen. Instructions
on how to change the setting are included in this manual.
The rangefinder gets a reading only some of the time.
• First, make sure the reflector is clean and free of any obstructions,
including dirt, mud, or excessive calcium or salt buildup. Also make sure
nothing is blocking the sending or receiving lenses of the rangefinder,
such as your finger.
• In many cases, a slight change in user behavior will make the unit work
perfectly, and using the “Operating Instructions” procedure outlined earlier
will often solve the problem. If you continue to have difficulties getting
readings, please contact Laser Link Golf for help.
