Nikon Prostaff 3 Laser Rangefinder

You would obviously expect something superior from Nikon. Well, this renowned company will not disappoint you. They have maintained their expert quality, but that does not make the product expensive. Nikon Laser Rangefinder gives you a crystal-clear image at a very low price.
With the launch of Nikon Prostaff 3, two categories of rangefinder seekers have got something to rely on for their ranging needs. Golf players belong to one category while others who want to get top features but maintain a budget belong to another category. Many hobbyists and professionals are getting keen on using rangefinders. It enables hunters and golfers to have a smooth field of view. It gives you enough range and brightness for clear sight. Nikon Prostaff 3 Laser Rangefinder has created some buzz among outdoor lovers. The multicolored display is adequately bright and able to show distances in meters and yards.
There is a continuous measurement mode that facilitates multiple measurements without requiring users to make any additional adjustments each time they switch targets. This mode helps users to gauge the accurate distance between particular objects and their current positions.
The built-in slope compensation deals with the changes in slope heights almost accurately. Making precise measurements at different angles up to 89 degrees becomes a breeze.

Simmons Laser LRF 600 Rangefinder

Treestand bowhunters are known to be the people with particularly discerning preferences when it comes to shooting. If you are one of them, you surely are proud to make an accurate hit at extreme angle.
So, you know how important the difference of a few yards between the true horizontal distance and line of sight distance is when a successful hit is the only thing you want. Well, forget all these subtleties because Simmons Laser Rangefinder LRF 600 is there to help.
Alongside the reticle and battery level indicator, this budget-friendly rangefinder might seem a compromising model due to having no rifle, or bow, or target priority icons. After all, this model is ideal for shooters and hunters.

1) There is a big difference between Bosch promo manual and Bosch operation manual:

2) Online promo manual says: Combined Indirect/Pythagoras for measuring total height from a distance
http://www.boschtools.com/AboutBoschTools/RequestProductLiterature/Documents/2010%20Catalog%20PDF/2010%20Measuring%20Tools.pdf

3) Online operation manual shows no instructions for Pythagoras measuring.
And shows no button for displaying E value or height.

4) Operation manual shows:
Length Measurement** and tells you to measure the height while promo says tool will calculate height E
Area Measurement*** shows rectangle only and not triangle
Volume Measurement
Area or Volume
Rounding of Large Calculations
Continuous Measurement (Tracking)

5) I would contact Bosch directly:

6) Until you get satisfaction from Bosch, the Bosch device gives precise menasurements that can be entered into a Pythagorean calculator online, which defeats the purpose of a jobsite tool: But you can access online calculator via cell phone while on jobsite.

Must see if the battery is in correct polarity and is set right . If power comes without any measurement, thenit is possible that the laser is not active , the beam is not readback , the processing is faulty for the return signal.
Might have the main board processor faulty.

its a piece of ****, that happens when you arder through qvc. When you arder electronic devices for weights or measurements, first you must know exactly what you are looking at, make, model, and series,,, then read all of the reviews you can,, then go to a pro store-- (like our shop we are a pro archery shop) we refuse to work on peoples bows they bring in that they bought online, because half the time they recieved something that they did not order, they dont look like they did in the picture that the seller posted... always read reviews and ask the professionals.... I would return the item even if it was an auction, if you cant return it then ebay it-- but be honest when you post descriptions of the item, and the problems that you may be experiencing, trust me the buyers will appreciate it...

Actually, it is on this page. To the right click on "owner's manual"

not required- in does increase measuring distance past 300 but w pinseeker and most approach shots from 250 in -plain flag is plenty

Has laser been cleaned properly?

Had the same problem... Pushed the mode button and the power button simultaneously for 30 seconds, then it worked again...
