How to use Slope
™
Mode
Once in this mode, you will see a “ °
” in the field of view informing you that you are in the Slope
+/- Mode. Press the POWER button to obtain distance to the flag or other objects. Once the range is
displayed, continue to hold the POWER button down for approximately 2 seconds while holding the
aiming circle on the flag and keeping the unit as steady as possible so as to allow the inclinometer
enough time to measure slope. Then release the POWER button. Once you have released the power
button, a degree of angle and compensated range will be displayed beneath the standard distance as
seen below.
In this example, the true distance is 162 yards, slope is +4 degrees, and the
compensated range is 173 yards. The “
” symbol means “Play-As”, so instead of
playing as 162 yards, “play-as” 173 yards.
The Advantage of Slope Edition
The distance to flag A in the drawing below is 162 yards.
It is also 162 yards to flag B although it is on a slope.
However, if you were to play this hole as 162 yards, the
ball (X) would fall short of the hole/flag because you did
nottake slope into account.
