Just a question............my understanding is that a Bushnell V2 Rangefinder does not require reflectors on the pins.........is that correct?

I have a Bushnell Tour v4 Golf laser Rangefinder.
Bushnell Tour V4 Golf Laser Rangefinder brings to you the next evolution of pin seeker with jolt technology. It provides an unbelievable pack of features set into a smaller and ergonomically sound form factor.
Here is the specification:

• Product Dimension: 2.6 X 2 X 1.3 Inches
• Pin Seeker
• Color: White
• Weight: 12 Ounces
• Warranty: 2-Year Limited Warranty

Follow the instructions on page 8 of this manual: http://www.bushnellgolf.com/downloads/201930%20201933%20201940%206LIM.pdf

Had the same problem with my first Bushnell V2 (Slope). Worked intermittently and sometimes just quit altogether. Finally had to send it back to them. They sent it back and said nothing was wrong with it. I called them and told them they were wrong and I was sending it back and they should take more time in testing it. This time they acknowledged problem, said it was fixed and sent it back to me. I wound up getting a real good deal on the V2 without the slope calculator (necessary if you want to use it in championships). Used this one for some time with no problem, but now it just went dead again. Battery tests well into green area on meter, but I'm going to try a brand new one and see what happens. From all the things I've read about the V2 and battery life, it looks like you might need pretty fresh batteries to keep it going.

Can you check that the new battery is an alkaline battery? If it is, and you are still getting the E31 error code, you will need to return your rangefinder to Bushnell to have it reprogrammed.

E31 is a programming error code. Most of the time this comes from using non-alkaline batteries or from letting a battery die in the unit. Non-alkaline batteries just don't generate enough current for the laser to operate properly.

Good luck.

for this you will need to send the unit into their repair at 8500 marshall drive lenexa ks 66214 4-6 week turnaround and put your name address and telephone number inside the package. if there is a cost they will send an estimate.

E6 means the unit has cpu or program failure....The only thing that bushnell can do is replace your unit with a newer one Its over 10 years old..... They won't have any parts or able to reprogram it.(they just do keep parts that long) They will offer you a model 20-1916 ($151.00 bill) (you can it see it @ bushnell .com.) The better model is........if you play golf is the Medelist(20-1354) or the Tour V2(20-1930).....The top of the line is the Pinseeker 1600(20-5105 without the slope function) or the Pinseeker 1600(20-5106 with the slope function).......If you hunt I would go with the model (20-1932 with the ARC fuction..... This is the real deal....call them

Sounds like the unit is reading in meters instead of yards....Hold down the mode button on the side for about 5 seconds. It should switch modes.

no i have found the actual flag is pretty accurate as long as its not black- the reflectors increase accuracy over distance

If the unit gets hot (like in the trunk of a car), the LCD display will go out. Keep it in the house and it should get better when it cools.
