Congratulations on your purchase of the Bushnell Bone Collector Laser Rangefinder. Your Bushnell
Laser Rangefinder is designed to provide many years of enjoyment. This booklet will help you achieve
optimum performance by explaining its adjustments and features as well as how to care for this
precise laser rangefinding instrument. To ensure optimal performance and longevity, please read these
instructions before using your Bushnell Bone Collector Laser Rangefinder.
INTRODUCTION
The Bushnell Bone Collector Laser Rangefinder delivers accurate range performance to +/- one yard.
Range to a deer as far as 200 yards/182 meters out, or to a tree 400 yards/366 meters away for a
reference point. The single button operation allows outdoor enthusiasts to easily measure distance with
confidence. The Bushnell Bone Collector Laser Rangefinder emits invisible, eyesafe, infrared energy
pulses. Digital technology instantaneously calculates distances by measuring the time it takes for each
pulse to travel from the rangefinder, to the target, and back.
ACCURACY
The ranging accuracy of the Bushnell Bone Collector Laser Rangefinder is plus or minus one yard under
most circumstances. The maximum range of the instrument depends on the reflectivity of the target.
The maximum distance for most objects is 400 yards/366 meters while for highly reflective objects the
maximum is 600 yards/549 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. Red is highly reflective, for example, and allows longer ranges than the color black, which is
2
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.
INSERTING THE BATTERY
Remove the battery cap by rotating the screw counter clockwise lifting the battery door. Insert an
Alkaline 9 volt battery into the compartment and attach battery connectors.
Note: It is recommended that the battery be replaced at least once every 12 months.
OPERATIONAL SUMMARY
While looking through the monocular, depress the power button once to activate the inview display
system (LCD). Aim the rangefinder at a target at least 10 yards away, depress and hold the power button
down until range reading is displayed. Release the power button.
Note: Once activated, the Bushnell Bone Collector Laser Rangefinder’s LCD will remain active and display
the last distance measurement for 30 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.
FEATURES
Your Bushnell Bone Collector Laser Rangefinder’s LCD incorporates illuminated indicators that advise
you unit of measure, when the laser is active, the battery charge is low, and when a target has been 3
acquired. A summary of these features is presented below:

Battery Indicator Blinks – Battery needs to be replaced and unit will not be operable.
UNIT OF MEASURE OPTIONS
The rangefinder 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. To select between yards and meters, the unit should be
off. While looking through the eyepiece, press and hold the POWER button down for approximately
5 seconds. During this time all liquid crystal segments and icons will be displayed. As you continue to
depress the power button, the display will toggle back and forth between Yards and Meters. Once the
unit of measure desired is displayed, simply release the power button. The device will return to the last
unit of measure setting used each time the unit is turned on.
OPTICAL DESIGN
The Bushnell Bone Collector Laser Rangefinder features a fixed focus monocular optical system for
viewing your target. A liquid crystal display (LCD) is mounted within the optical system and when
4
activated, displays a reticle for targeting, yards, and low battery indicators. Inherent in the manufacturing
process are small black spots that appear in the optical system. These are a natural characteristic of the
LCD and cannot be fully eliminated in the manufacturing process. They do not affect the distancing
performance of the unit.
CLEANING
Gently blow away any dust or debris on the lenses (or use a soft lens brush). To remove dirt or
fingerprints, clean with a soft cotton cloth, rubbing in a circular motion. Use of a coarse cloth or
unnecessary rubbing may scratch the lens surface and eventually cause permanent damage. For a more
thorough cleaning, photographic lens tissue and photographic-type lens cleaning fluid or isopropyl
alcohol may be used. Always apply the fluid to the cleaning cloth – never directly on the lens.

TROUBLE SHOOTING TABLE
Before returning your laser rangefinder for repair, consult the Trouble Shooting Table below.
If unit does not turn on – LCD does not illuminate :
•Depress power button.
•Check and if necessary, replace battery.
If unit powers down (display goes blank when attempting to power the laser) :
•The battery is either weak or low quality. Replace the battery with a good quality alkaline battery.
"Heavy Duty" or other non-alkaline batteries are NOT recommended.
There is no reset button to clear last range reading before ranging another target :
•The last range reading does not need to be cleared before ranging another target. Simply aim at the
new target using the LCD’s reticle, depress the power button and hold until new range reading is
displayed. If target range cannot be obtained:
•Make sure LCD is illuminated.
•Make sure that the power button is being depressed
•Make sure that nothing, such as your hand or finger, is blocking the objective lenses (lenses closest to
the target) that emit and receive the laser pulses.
•Make sure unit is held steady while depressing power button.
