HOW OUR DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY WORKS
The Fusion™ 1600 ARC™ emits invisible, eye safe, infrared energy pulses. The Fusion 1600 ARC‘s Advanced
Digital microprocessor and ASIC chip (Application-Specific Integrated Circuit) results in instantaneous and accurate
readings every time. Sophisticated digital technology instantaneously calculates distances by measuring the time it
takes for each pulse to travel from the rangefinder, to the target, and back.
RANGING ACCURACY
The ranging accuracy of the Fusion 1600 ARC is plus or minus one yard / meter under most circumstances. The
maximum range of the instrument depends on the reflectivity of the target. The maximum distance for most objects
is 1000 yards / 914 meters while for highly reflective objects the maximum is 1600 yards / 1463 meters. Note: You
will get both longer and shorter maximum distances depending on the reflective properties of the particular target and
the environmental conditions at the time the distance of an object is being measured.
The color, surface finish, size and shape of the target all affect reflectivity and range. The brighter the color, the longer
the range. White is highly reflective, for example, and allows longer ranges than the color black, which is the least
reflective color. A shiny finish provides more range than a dull one. A small target is more difficult to range than a
larger target. The angle to the target also has an effect. Shooting to a target at a 90 degree angle (where the target
surface is perpendicular to the flight path of the emitted energy pulses) provides good range while a steep angle on
the other hand, provides limited ranging. In addition, lighting conditions (e.g. the amount of sunlight) will affect
the ranging capabilities of the unit. The less light (e.g. overcast skies) the farther the unit’s maximum range will be.
Conversely, very sunny days will decrease the unit’s maximum range.

GETTING STARTED
INSERTING THE BATTERY
The battery compartment is located between the objective barrels. Simply remove the battery cap by rotating it
counter clockwise and insert a CR-123 3-volt lithium battery into the compartment negative end first, then replace
the battery cap.
NOTE: It is recommended that the battery be replaced at least once every 6 months.
SETTING THE DISPLAY FOCUS AND DIOPTER ADJUSTMENT
Before you begin using your laser rangefinder binoculars, a few simple, one-time adjustments should be made to
ensure that you can get sharp focus of objects by just using the main focus knob on the binoculars. This process will
compensate for any variations in the eyesight or vision of the individual user:
1. Leave the rubber eyecups in their “up” position if you are not wearing glasses, or twist them down if you are.
Grasp the left and right sides of the binocular, and pull them apart or push them together while looking
through the binocular to adjust the eyepiece spacing until your view is a single circular image.
2. While looking through the binoculars, press the power button to turn on the display. Look through just the
right side of the binocular-you will see a red aiming circle in the center. Point the binocular at a plain
background.
3. Rotate the display focus (right eyecup) until the circular reticle appears as sharp as possible to your right eye.
This compensates for any difference between your vision and the correct focus for the laser.
4. Next, continuing to look through the right side only, aim at a distant object (preferably one containing fine
detail such as a tree or sign), and adjust the binocular’s center focusing knob until it appears as sharp as
possible to your right eye.

5. Finally, view the same object through only the left side of the binocular, and rotate the diopter adjustment
(left eyecup) until it appears sharp to your left eye (do not touch the center focus knob while doing this).
This compensates for any vision differences between your left and right eyes.
Once set, note the number on the left and right binocular tubes that the index mark on each eyecup is lined up with.
With the display focus and diopter adjustment set to these positions, you should be able to obtain sharp viewing of
objects at any distance by simply adjusting the center focus knob while you look through the binocular. There is no
need to re-adjust the display focus or diopter adjustment, unless you share the binocular with another user, or if your
eyes become tired over a long period of use.
OPERATIONAL SUMMARY
While looking through the binocular, depress the power button once to activate the Vivid Display. Place the aiming
circle (located in the center of the field of view) upon a target at least 10 yards away, depress and hold the power
button down until the range reading is displayed near the bottom of the in-view display. Crosshairs surrounding the
aiming circle indicate that the laser is being transmitted. Once a range has been acquired, you can release the power
button. The crosshairs surrounding the aiming circle will disappear once the power button has been released (i.e. the
laser is no longer being transmitted). Note: Once activated, the display will remain active and display the last distance
measurement for 3 seconds. You can depress the power button again at any time to distance to a new target. As with
any laser device, it is not recommended to directly view the emissions for long periods of time with magnified lenses.
The maximum time the laser is transmitted (fired) is 10 seconds. To re-fire, press the button down again.

ANGLE RANGE COMPENSATION
The Fusion 1600 ARC is an advanced premium laser rangefinder binocular featuring a built-in accelerometer-based
inclinometer that digitally displays the exact angle from -90 to +90 degrees of elevation and is +/- 1.0 degree accurate.
The Bushnell® Fusion 1600 ARC™ solves a problem hunters have been faced with for years. The problem: Bow and
rifle hunters have struggled with extreme uphill and downhill angles because of how these angles alter true horizontal
distance to your target. The Solution: ARC’s integrated inclinometer provides elevation angle to allow for distance
compensation when targeting objects that are either uphill or downhill. This data is then combined with internal
algorithmic ballistic formulas.
ARC (ANGLE RANGE COMPENSATION) MODES
Bow Mode ( ): Displays line of sight distance, degree of elevation, and true horizontal distance from 10-99 yards /
meters and a maximum inclination of +/- 90°.
Rifle Mode ( ): Calculates and displays the amount of bullet drop, at the target in inches, centimeters or
MOA. The amount of bullet drop is determined by the line of sight distance to the target, degree of elevation,
along with the specific ballistic characteristics of the caliber and ammunition load. When you range your target,
the line of sight, degree of elevation, and bullet-drop/holdover in inches, centimeters, or MOA will be displayed
from 100 to 800 yards/meters with a maximum inclination of +/- 90°. One of eight ballistic groups (identified as
A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H) for center fire rifles and two ballistic groups (Identified as I and J) for Black Powder /
Muzzleloaders can be selected by the user, with each formula representing a given combination of caliber and loads.
The ballistic groups are selected by the user in the SET-UP menu.
Regular Mode ( ): This mode does not provide any degree of elevation or compensated distance, but instead,
line of sight distance only.

UNIT OF MEASURE OPTIONS
The Fusion 1600 ARC can be used to measure distances in yards or meters. The unit of measure indicators are located
in the lower right portion of the LCD.
ACTIVE LASER
Crosshairs surrounding the aiming circle indicate that the laser is being transmitted. Once a range has been acquired,
you can release the power button. The crosshairs surrounding the circle will disappear once the power button has been
released (i.e. the laser is no longer being transmitted).
SELECTIVE TARGETING™ MODES
The Fusion 1600 ARC was especially designed with hunters in mind. The selective targeting modes allow you to
adjust the performance parameters of the unit to suit your specific situation and environment. To move from one
mode to another, press the POWER button once to turn on the unit. While looking through the eyepiece, press the
MODE button and quickly release. The different targeting modes available and mode indicators are listed below:
Standard with Automatic SCAN (LCD Indicator – none) This setting allows most targets to be distanced up to 1600
yards. Used for moderately reflective targets that are typical of most distancing situations. The minimum distance in
the standard mode is 10 yards. To use the Automatic SCAN feature, simply hold down on the POWER button for
