The Nikon COOLSHOT PRO II STABILIZED is a laser rangefinder designed for golf and other outdoor activities, offering precise distance measurements and enhanced stability. Its primary function is to measure the distance to a target using an invisible laser beam, calculating the time it takes for the beam to travel to the target and back. This device is equipped with several features that make it user-friendly and highly effective in various conditions.
The core function of the COOLSHOT PRO II STABILIZED is distance measurement. It utilizes a laser to determine the range to objects, displaying the results in either yards or meters. The device offers four measurement display modes tailored for different golf playstyles:
A key feature of this rangefinder is its STABILIZED function, which is activated automatically when the device is turned on. This function significantly reduces vibrations caused by hand movement, ensuring a steady view and more accurate measurements, especially over longer distances or when targeting smaller objects.
The device incorporates a First Target Priority algorithm, which is highly beneficial when measuring overlapping subjects, such as a flagstick with trees in the background. This algorithm ensures that the distance to the closest subject is displayed, making it easier to pinpoint the flagstick. To enhance this, the Dual LOCKED ON feature provides a visual confirmation (LOCKED ON sign) in the viewfinder along with an electronic sound (if enabled) when the distance to the closest subject is successfully detected and displayed. This is particularly useful for single measurements and continuous measurements, where the LOCKED ON sign appears when figures shift to a closer subject.
An Actual Distance Indicator is also built-in, which blinks when the measurement display mode is set to actual distance mode and the rangefinder is ON. This provides a quick visual cue that the inclinometer function is not being used.
The COOLSHOT PRO II STABILIZED is designed for ease of use with a high-quality 6x finder and multilayer coating for bright, clear images. A larger ocular further enhances viewing comfort. The internal display is red, making it easy to read in various lighting conditions.
Operating the device involves simple button presses. The PWR button serves multiple purposes:
The MODE button allows users to navigate through various settings and display modes:
The device features an automatic power shut-off function, turning off after approximately 8 seconds of inactivity from the standby screen, which helps conserve battery life.
The COOLSHOT PRO II STABILIZED is built to be durable and resistant to environmental factors. It is waterproof (up to 1m/3.3ft for 10 minutes) and fogproof, meaning it can be used in conditions of high humidity, dust, and rain without risk of damage to internal functions. The nitrogen-filled design helps prevent condensation and mold. However, it is not designed for underwater usage, and users should avoid operating or holding the product in running water. If moisture is found on movable parts, it should be wiped off.
The battery chamber is rainproof, but not waterproof. If water enters the battery chamber, it should be wiped out, and the chamber allowed to dry.
For general cleaning:
For storage, the product should be kept in a cool, dry place to prevent water condensation or mold on lens surfaces. After use on rainy days or at night, it should be thoroughly dried at room temperature before storage.
The device uses a 3V CR2 lithium battery. Instructions for inserting and replacing the battery are provided, emphasizing correct orientation and secure attachment of the battery-chamber cover to maintain waterproof capabilities. A battery level indicator in the internal display provides clear information on battery status, from sufficient power to needing replacement or being empty. For extended periods of non-use, the battery should be removed.
The manual also emphasizes safety precautions, including not aiming the laser at eyes or people, avoiding looking at lasers with other optical instruments, and removing the battery when not in use. Users of medical devices like cardiac pacemakers are advised not to use the product due to built-in magnets.
