GETTING STARTED
INSERTING THE BATTERY
Lift the flap near , then pull the flap to remove battery door.
Insert one 9-volt alkaline battery into the slot as indicated, then
close the battery cover.
Note: Use only high quality alkaline batteries. Do not use heavy
duty or lithium batteries. It is recommended that the battery be
replaced once every 12 months.
Low Battery Indicator: If the Y (Yards) or M (Meters) indicator
blinks continuously, the battery charge is getting low and the
9-volt alkaline battery should be replaced.
ADJUSTING THE EYEPIECE
Your ELITE ® 1500 is constructed with a twist-up eyepiece
designed for comfort and to exclude extraneous light. For
users without eyeglasses, rotate the eyecup counter clockwise
while pulling up until it locks into the fully "up" position. The
ELITE ® 1500 provides extra long eye-relief of 19mm. If you
wear glasses, make sure the eyecup is in the down position as
this will bring your eye closer the eyepiece lens allowing you to
see a full field of view. To lower the eyecup from the full "up"

position, rotate clockwise while pushing down slightly. It is also possible to set the eyecup to positions "in between",
fully up and full down, which may suit some individuals better.

The ELITE 1500 is also equipped with an adjustable eyepiece (+/- 2 Diopter Adjustment) that allows one to focus
the LCD display relative to the image. Simply rotate the diopter setting until the LCD is in focus.
OPERATIONAL SUMMARY
While looking through the 7x eyepiece, depress the power button once to activate the in-view Liquid Crystal
Display (LCD). Place the aiming circle (located in the center of the field of view) upon a target at least 5 yards away,
depress and hold the power button down until the range reading is displayed near the bottom of the in-view display.
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 aiming circle will disappear once the power button
has been released (i.e. the laser is no longer being transmitted). Note: Once activated, the ELITE
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 (fired) is 10 seconds.
To re-fire, press the button down again.
LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY (LCD) INDICATORS
Your ELITE ® 1500's LCD incorporates illuminated indicators that advise the user unit of measure, when the
laser is actively firing, when a target has been acquired, and targeting modes. A summary of these features is
presented below:
