Selecting Speed Mode 

The LIDAR will normally power up in “Speed”

 

mode, unless it was 

recently used in a different mode.  If “Speed”

 

mode is

 

not displayed

Using the HUD Sighting System 

The Head-Up display provides a precision aiming reticle, speed 
reading, and other status information.  To find the sighting reticle, 
click the trigger to wake up the LIDAR and look directly through the 
HUD letting your eyes focus on a target well in front of the LIDAR 
unit.  If you haven’t used a HUD device before, it might take a minute

 

or two for your eyes to adjust the first time.

setting is on

if working in daylight.)
