® Your CABELA’S VLR II by BUSHNELL is a precision instrument designed to provide many years of enjoyment. This booklet will help you achieve optimum performance by explaining its adjustments and features as well as how to care for this precise laser rangefinding instrument. To ensure optimal performance and longevity, please read these instructions before using your Cabela’s VLR II. The Cabela’s VLR II by Bushnell features ARC (Angle Range Compensation) which compensates for extreme up an

HOW IT WORKS The Cabela’s VLR II by Bushnell emits invisible, eye safe, infrared energy pulses. The Advanced Digital microprocessor and ASIC chip (Application-Specific Integrated Circuit) results in instantaneous and accurate readings every time. Sophisticated digital technology instantaneously calculates distances by measuring the time it takes for each pulse to travel from the rangefinder, to the target, and back. RANGING ACCURACY The ranging accuracy of the VLR II is plus or minus one yard

properties of the particular target and the environmental conditions at the time the distance of an object is being measured. The color, surface finish, size and shape of the target all affect reflectivity and range. The brighter the color, the longer the range. White is highly reflective, for example, and allows longer ranges than the color black, which is the least reflective color. A shiny finish provides more range than a dull one. A small target is more difficult to range than a larger

GETTING STARTED INSERTING THE BATTERY Remove the battery cap with a coin by rotating the cap counter clockwise and insert a 3-volt lithium battery into the compartment positive end first, then replace the battery cap. NOTE: It is recommended that the battery be replaced at least once every 12 months. Low Battery Indicator: If the “ ” is displayed within the in-view readout, this means “low battery” or battery charge is getting low and the 3-volt lithium battery should be replaced.

ADJUSTING THE EYEPIECE Your VLR II is constructed with an adjustable eyepiece (+/- 2 Diopter Adjustment) that allows one to focus the LCD display relative to the image. For users without eyeglasses, simply rotate the eyepiece until the reticle and object distanced to are in focus to your eye. If you wear glasses, place the eyepiece up to your glasses and rotate the eyepiece until the reticle and object distanced to are in focus to your eye. OPERATIONAL SUMMARY While looking through the

surrounding the aiming circle will disappear once the power button has been released (i.e. the laser is no longer being transmitted). Note: Once activated, the LCD will remain active and display the last distance measurement for 30 seconds. You can depress the power button again at any time to distance to a new target. As with any laser device, it is not recommended to directly view the emissions for long periods of time with magnified lenses. The maximum time the laser is transmitted (fire

a natural characteristic of the LCD and cannot be fully eliminated in the manufacturing process. They do not affect the distancing performance of the unit. LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY (LCD) INDICATORS Your VLR II LCD incorporates illuminated indicators that advise the user unit of measure, when the laser is actively firing, when a target has been acquired, BullsEye™ targeting mode, and Bow mode. A summary of these features is presented below: UNIT OF MEASURE OPTIONS The VLR II provides dista

ACTIVE LASER Crosshairs surrounding the aiming circle indicate that the laser is being transmitted. Once a range has been acquired, you can release the power button. The crosshairs surrounding the circle will disappear once the power button has been released (i.e. the laser is no longer being transmitted). BullsEye™ (LCD Indicator - ) The VLR II was especially designed with hunters in mind and will always function with BullsEye mode on. This advanced mode allows easy acquisition of

Press the POWER button to turn the unit on. Next, align the aiming circle onto the object (i.e. deer) that you want distance to. Next, press and hold the POWER button and move the laser slowly over the deer until crosshairs surround the BullsEye indicator. If the laser beam recognized more than one object (i.e. deer and background trees), distance of the closer object (i.e. deer) will be displayed and crosshairs will surround the BullsEye indicator informing the user that distance to the c

TIP: While pressing the POWER button, you can move (SCAN) the device slowly from object to object and intentionally force the laser to hit multiple objects to ensure that you are only displaying the closest of the objects recognized by the laser. ARC Angle Range Compensation): In addition to all of the features described above, the VLR II is an advanced premium laser rangefinder featuring a built-in accelerometer-based inclinometer that digitally displays the exact angle from

Bow Mode ( ): Displays line of sight distance, degree of elevation, and true distance range from 5-99 yards / meters and a maximum inclination of +/- 60°. Once the range is displayed, continue to hold the POWER button down for approximately 2 seconds while holding the aiming circle on the object and keeping the unit as steady as possible so as to allow the inclinometer enough time to measure angle. Then release the POWER button. Once you have released the power button, a degree of angl

The “ ” means “play” or “shoot as,” so instead of shooting as 32 yards, shoot as 23 yards. If you were to shoot as if 32 yards, you would shoot over the top of the deer because of the severe angle. The line of sight distance will display in the primary numeric display and the inclination and horizontal distance will display in the secondary numeric displays.

interviews with high-profile bow hunting experts that multiple bow ballistic groups were not necessary. Bow-hunters want to know true horizontal distance because that is how they practice shooting, and once they confidently know that, they can make any necessary adjustments. Giving the bow-hunter anything else other than horizontal distance creates additional confusion and uncertainty. Many people mistakenly believe that uphill shots perform differently from downhill shots because of gravity

CLEANING Gently blow away any dust or debris on the lenses (or use a soft lens brush). To remove dirt or fingerprints, clean with a soft cotton cloth, rubbing in a circular motion. Use of a coarse cloth or unnecessary rubbing may scratch the lens surface and eventually cause permanent damage. For a more thorough cleaning, photographic lens tissue and photographic-type lens cleaning fluid or isopropyl alcohol may be used. Always apply the fluid to the cleaning cloth - never directly on the l

If target range cannot be obtained: • Make sure LCD is illuminated. • Make sure that the power button is being depressed. • Make sure that nothing, such as your hand or finger , is blocking the objective lenses (lenses closest to the target) that emit and receive the laser pulses. • Make sure unit is held steady while depressing power button. NOTE: The last range reading does not need to be cleared before ranging another target. Simply aim at the new target using the LCD’s re
