Operational Summary
Caution — use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein
may result in hazardous radiation exposure
1. Install a battery in the battery chamber. (See "Changing Batteries")
2. Rubber eyepiece cup
Eyeglass wearer: Collapse the eyepiece cups.
Non-eyeglass wearers: Do not collapse the eyepiece cups.
3. Diopter adjustment
Adjust diopter to obtain a clear image in the LCD.
First, rotate the diopter adjustment ring counterclockwise until it comes to a complete stop. Next, turn on the power to activate
the LCD when you look through the Laser 1200. Rotate the diopter adjustment ring clockwise until the display comes into
focus.
If the diopter is not adjusted to correspond to your eyesight, you may not be able to clearly focus your subject.
4. Measuring
Note: Depressing and holding down the POWER button causes all symbols to be displayed in the LCD panel. After you remove your
finger from the POWER button, the last-used setting is displayed. (If you briefly press the POWER button then remove your finger, the LCD
panel may display the last-used setting without displaying all of the symbols. This is not a malfunction or other problem.)

Switching procedure
1. LCD panel should be on.
2. Press and hold MODE button, then depress and hold POWER button within one second, and continue to press and hold both buttons. (If
buttons are not pressed in the correct order, switching will not take place.)
3. Hold both buttons (approx. two seconds) until "G" appears or disappears (depending on current target priority), to confirm switching.
Then release buttons.
[Deciding which Target Priority to use]
When obtaining different results from a single measuring operation, the Laser 1200 will display the distance to the farthest target
on the LCD panel when using Distant Target Priority mode, while First Target Priority mode will show the range to the nearest
target.
ex.) When measuring a tree standing in front of a house;
Tree
House
Distance to target
135m
157m
"135m" (distance to the tree) will be displayed in First Target Priority mode, and "157m" (distance to the house) in Distant Target Priority
mode.
First Target Priority mode, for example, has applications for golf, while Distant Target Priority is useful when hunting in heavily
wooded areas.
7. Backlight
Use the backlight to see the LCD panel in dark conditions.
By pressing MODE button briefly (less than 1.5 seconds) while the power is on, the backlight can be turned ON and OFF.
The backlight can also be turned off by turning the Laser 1200's power off. In this case, the backlight will be off when the Laser
1200's power is turned on again.
8. Low battery indication
Flashing
indicates that the battery charge is low and battery should be replaced. (See "Changing Battery")

The Nikon Laser 1200 features a Roof-prism monocular optical system for viewing your target. A liquid crystal display (LCD) is
mounted within the optical system that when activated, displays a reticle for targeting, meter/yard and Target Priority and a target
quality gauge, as well as precision and low battery indicators. It is also equipped with a built-in backlight.

Safety
* Waterproof models:
The Laser 1200 is waterproof, and will suffer no damage to the optical system if submerged or dropped in water to a maximum depth
of 2 meters for up to 5 minutes.
The Laser 1200 offers the following advantages:
• Can be used in conditions of high humidity, dust and rain without risk of damage.
• Nitrogen-filled design makes it resistant to condensation and mold.
Observe the following when using the Laser 1200:
• As the unit does not have a perfectly sealed structure, it should not be operated nor held in running water.
• Any moisture should be wiped off before adjusting movable parts (focusing knob, eyepiece, etc.) of the Laser 1200 to prevent
damage and for safety reasons.
To keep your Laser 1200 in excellent condition, Nikon Vision recommends regular servicing by an authorized dealer.
** The battery chamber is water resistant, not waterproof. Water may enter the device if the Laser 1200 is submerged in water. If water
enters the battery chamber, wipe out any moisture and allow time for the chamber to dry.
Troubleshooting/Repair
If your Nikon Laser 1200 should require repair, please contact your local dealer for details regarding where to send it. Before doing
