I have the er6 message. What I have to do? - Bushnell Yardage Pro 600 Rangefinder

it means "Error number 06"

Here is what I could come up with:

There is no code list available, so check these things:

1) Low battery, replace if necessary
2) You are trying to measure an object that is too close, try a more diatant object
3) You are not holding the rangefinder steady and have not gotten a reading off the target. Try an easier, larger, more reflective target as a check.
4) You have an electrical problem requiring repair.

If you are still getting an error, contact Bushnell at 1-800-221-9035 for instructions.

this unit will need to go in for repair. contact bushnell at 800-423-3537 option 1.

error 3 is that the cd is scratched and error 6 is the cd has been inserted upside down

It means that the disk is bad.

ER6 is the death to a rangefinder like this. Parts are not available. You will have to upgtrade technology. (pinseeker technology) hint, hint!
Go for it.....

Take the nice cover and neck strap off rangefinder to use on another item. Next use the rangefinder for hammer. boat anchor, etc. Seriously though the problem occurs often in the Bushnell rangefinders and it cost more to fix than to replace with a better brand. A $179.00 original cost rangefinder cost $10.00 to ship back to Bushnell and another $235.00 for repair of a non specified problem for a grand total of $245.00. I consider this a rip off from Bushnell.

5/26/09 I spoke with Bushnell technical support today and they informed me that this error "Er6" means the unit can not repaired. They said this is one of their oldest models and that they don't even have parts for it anymore. They did offer to have me send the old unit into their Returns department in Kansas, and in return for sending them the old/broken unit, they will send me an offer to buy one of their new units at a highly discounted rate. Not a bad trade I guess.

hi Its Error 6 no focus. could be dirty cds. dirty laser. or faulty laser. regards Mark www.carradiospares.co.uk
