CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Lenses

• Whenremovingdustonthelenssurface,useasoftoil-free

brush.

• Whenremovingstainsorsmudgeslikefingerprintsfromthe

lens surface, wipe the lenses very gently with a soft clean

cotton cloth or quality oil-free lens tissue.

Use a small quantity of pure alcohol (not denatured) to wipe

stubborn smudges. Do not use velvet cloth or ordinary tissue,

as it may scratch the lens surface. Once the cloth has been

used for cleaning the body, it should not be used again for the

lens surface.

Main body

• Cleanthebodysurfacewithasoft,cleanclothandadrycloth.

Do not use benzene, thinner, or other organic agents because

they may cause discoloration or rubber degeneration.

Storage

• Watercondensationormoldmayoccuronthelenssurface

because of high humidity. Therefore, store the Nikon Laser

1200 in a cool, dry place.

After use on a rainy day or at night, thoroughly dry it at room

temperature, then store in a cool, dry place.

NOTES ON LITHIUM BATTERY

• Diopteradjustmentfunction

The Nikon Laser 1200 emits invisible, eyesafe, infrared

energy pulses that reflect off the selected target back to its

optical receiver. Sophisticated precision charge circuitry is

used to instantaneously calculate distances, by measuring

the time it takes for each pulse to travel from the

rangefinder to the target and back. The maximum range of

the instrument depends on the reflectivity of the target, its

color, surface finish, size and shape.

The following factors ensure best range and accuracy:

• Nighttimeuse

• Cloudyweather

• Bright-coloredtargets

• Targetswithhighlyreflectivesurfaces

AlthoughtheLCDwasproducedusingthemostadvancedtechnology,itisimpossibletoeliminatedustcompletely.Whenusingthis

product, the LCD is magnified by high magnification of the eyepiece lens and dust may appear as a defect. It will not, however, affect

measurement accuracy.

Changing Battery

• Typeofbattery:3V CR2 lithium battery

• Batteryconditionindicators

: Battery has enough charge for use.

: Battery charge is getting low.

flashing: Battery charge is low and battery should be replaced.

disappears: Battery is exhausted and should be replaced.

flashing in the LCD indicates that the battery should be replaced.

1 Open the battery chamber cover

Insert a coin or similar item into the slot in the battery chamber cover, and rotate it following the “Open/Close” indication. The cover

may not open easily due to its O-ring seal for water and dust resistance.

2 Replace the old battery with a new one

 Installnewbatterywiththe[+]and[-]correctlypositionedfollowingthe“Batteryinstallation”indicationsealinthebattery

chamber.(Insertbatterypositioningthe[+]poletowardstheinsideofthechamber.)[TheLaser1200willnotoperateifthebattery

is installed incorrectly.]

3 Close the battery chamber cover

Screw the cover back in place using a coin or similar item. The cover may not close easily due to the O-ring seal for water and dust

resistance. Confirm that the cover is correctly closed.

• Batterylife

Continuous operation: Approx. 5,000 times (with backlight off at 20°C)

Target focusing, measurement, and automatic power off are included in a single cycle. This figure may differ according to

temperature, and other factors such as target shape, color, etc.

* The Laser 1200 comes with a 3V CR2 lithium battery. However, due to natural electric discharge, the life of the battery will likely be shorter than that

noted above.

Replace battery if the Laser 1200 is ever submerged in water or if water enters the battery chamber.
