MEASUREMENT MODES

  1. Standard – Standard Mode is recommended when measuring distances to larger objects. (Fig. A)
  2. Unit of Measure – To change the unit of measure from Yards to Meters, start with the device powered off. Then HOLD the Mode Button for 3 sec. The unit of measure is indicated by a “Y” or “M” shown directly to the right of the distance displayed. P.A.T. with Pulse Technology – P.A.T. Mode is best used when measuring the distance to a Flagstick or smaller objects. The device will provide a short vibration to confirm that the laser has locked onto the pin. To toggle between Standard and P.A.T. Mode, quickly PRESS the Mode Button once while the device is powered on. When P.A.T. Mode is activated, the flagstick icon will appear on the left side & the Pulse icon will appear at the top of the LCD display (Fig. B). To turn Pulse ON/OFF, quickly PRESS the Mode Button TwiceCallaway 300 Pro Laser Rangefinder User Manual-7
  3. Scanning – To measure distances to multiple targets in succession, PRESS & RELEASE the Power Button to power on. Then HOLD Power Button, the Laser Indicator Box will flash and the laser will continuously fire. Measurements will change as you scan the landscape and change targets.
    NOTE: While scanning in P.A.T. Mode, the measurement will only change when a shorter distance is measured. This is useful when measuring the distance to a flagstick when there are trees or other objects in the background
  4. Unit of Measure – To change the unit of measure from Yards to Meters, start with the device powered off. Then HOLD the Mode Button for 3 sec. The unit of measure is indicated by a “Y” or “M” shown directly to the right of the distance displayed.

SLOPE FUNCTION

  • Device will measure the angle of incline/decline in the bottom right of the display (A), then calculate & display the slope adjusted distance in the bottom left of the display (B).Callaway 300 Pro Laser Rangefinder User Manual-8

The Slope switch on the Side of the 300 PRO has two positions:

  1. RED shows that the slope function is off. The Laser is tournament legal when the slope is turned off.
  2. GREEN is showing: Slope function is enabled. Slope adjusted yardage will be displayed after every time the laser is fired. The Laser is not tournament legal when the slope is enabled.Callaway 300 Pro Laser Rangefinder User Manual-9

OPERATIONAL NOTES

  1. The maximum measurement range is 5-1000 yards to objects and 5-300 yards to a flagstick with +/- 1 yard accuracy.
    NOTE: Maximum range 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 reflective finish. Ranging
    capability can also be affected by the angle to the target and lighting conditions.
  2. Auto Shutoff – To conserve battery life, the device will automatically power off when idle for more than 10 seconds.
  3. Weather Conditions – Heavy rain and thick fog can potentially limit the maximum range of the device.
  4. Weather Resistant – Protected against light rain.

STORING THE LASER

  • Do not leave the eyepiece in direct sunlight. The condenser effect of the lens may damage the internal display surface.Callaway 300 Pro Laser Rangefinder User Manual-10
