NIKON COOL SHOT 40, 40i, 80 & 80i VR INSTRUCTIONS

The Nikon Cool Shot 40, 40i, 80 VR & 80i VR pictured below weigh just 5.6 oz and 7.1 oz respectively

including the CR2 battery. They are the newest iterations of the 3 previous Nikon Cool Shot models that

were introduced in 2012. None of these laser rangefinders have a standard tripod socket. With your Quick

Clip, we include 3 (two spares) of our belt clip tab/3M adhesive disk assemblies (see picture below). The

picture of your Nikon Cool Shot 40 & 80 VR below has a black/white circle drawn on the laser lens end. This

is where you need to carefully place the belt clip tab/3M adhesive disk assembly for the optimal center of

gravity.

Using the included alcohol cleaning pad, clean that spot on your Cool Shot and allow to air dry. This

removes any oils, sweat, grease and other yucky stuff so the adhesion is optimized. Peel the paper backing

off of one of the belt clip tab/3M adhesive disk assemblies. Carefully place the belt clip hook on the black

oval as shown in the above picture. CAUTION: The belt clip tab/3M adhesive will want to stick

immediately to whatever it touches so use care when placing it on the spot and try not to touch the

adhesive with your fingers. Apply some pressure on the belt clip hook for about 30 seconds. Allow it to

"set" for 48 to 72 before using your rangefinder on the Quick Clip. That will enhance the adhesive

properties of the 3M adhesive disk. IMPORTANT: If you very carefully follow these directions, the belt clip

tab/3M adhesive disk assembly cannot be removed using your hands (you can draw blood) and it certainly

cannot come off or even become loose in your everyday use on a golf cart.

If you have any doubts about the 3M VHB adhesive, here is a link to a 3M document that includes the full

details as well as videos of the 3M VHB adhesive: To open this link, right-click directly on the link below,

If you ever need to remove the belt clip tab, simply warm the adhesive with a hair dryer. The adhesive will

soften, and you can peel off the belt clip tab, though it still won't be easy. Don't try to re-use that old 3M

adhesive that you peeled off as it loses some of its adhesiveness. Remove it and use a fresh adhesive disk.

You can re-use the belt clip tab. Just remove any remaining adhesive and clean it with an alcohol pad or a

clean cloth with a dab of isopropyl alcohol. Carefully (see CAUTION above) place the fresh 3M adhesive

disk on the belt clip tab.
