help range smaller targets on uniform backgrounds in either 
HCD or LOS modes. Once powered up, press and hold the 
Measure button and scan laser back and forth, watching for 
changes in the yardage number as crosshairs move across the 
target object. A blinking “S” display indicates Scan Ranging 
is activated.
