Congratulations on your purchase of the Bushnell® Scout™1000 ARC™ Laser Rangeﬁnder. The

Scout™1000 ARC is a precision Laser Rangeﬁnding optical instrument 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 device. To ensure optimal performance and longevity, please read

these instructions before using your Scout™1000 ARC laser rangeﬁnder.

HOW OUR DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY WORKS

The Scout™1000 ARC™ emits invisible, eye safe, infrared energy pulses. The Scout ™ 1000‘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 Scout™1000 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 650 yards / 594 meters while for highly reﬂective objects the maximum is 1000 yards /

914 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

Remove the battery cap with a coin by rotating the cap counter clockwise and insert a 3-volt lithium

battery into the compartment positive end ﬁrst, then replace the battery cap.

NOTE: It is recommended that the battery be replaced at least once every 12 months.

Low Battery Indicator: If the “ ” is displayed within the in-view readout, this means “low battery”

or battery charge is getting low and the 3-volt lithium battery should be replaced.

ADJUSTING THE EYEPIECE

Your Scout™ 1000 is constructed with an adjustable eyepiece (+/- 2 Diopter Adjustment) that allows one

to focus the LCD display relative to the image. For users without eyeglasses, simply rotate the eyepiece

until the reticle and object distanced to are in focus to your eye. If you wear glasses, make sure the

eyecup is folded in the down position as this will bring your eye closer the eyepiece lens allowing you to

see a full ﬁeld of view and then rotate the eyepiece until the reticle and object distanced to are in focus

to your eye.

OPERATIONAL SUMMARY

While looking through the 5x eyepiece, depress the power button once to activate the in-view Liquid

Crystal Display (LCD). Place the aiming circle (located in the center of the ﬁeld of view) upon a target at

least 5 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 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. The maximum time the laser is transmitted (ﬁred) is 10 seconds. To re-ﬁre,

press the button down again.

LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY (LCD) INDICATORS

Your Scout™ 1000 LCD incorporates illuminated indicators that advise the user unit of measure, when

the laser is actively ﬁring, when a target has been acquired, and targeting modes. A summary of these

features is presented below:

UNIT OF MEASURE OPTIONS

The Scout™ 1000 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, press and release

the POWER button to turn on the unit (on top of the unit), look through the eyepiece, depress the “MODE”

button (left side of the unit) and hold it down for approximately 5 seconds. The word “SETUP” will

appear at the top if the LCD display and the current unit of measure, “Y” for yards or “M” for Meters will

ﬂash in the LCD and the SETUP icon will still be displayed. Pressing the MODE button will toggle the unit

of measure.

When the desired unit of measure is displayed, press the POWER button to accept the unit of measure

and to return to the normal operating menu. The Scout™ 1000 will return to the last unit of measure

setting used each time the unit is turned on.

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 Scout™ 1000 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 1000 yards. Used for moderately reﬂective

targets that are typical of most distancing situations. The minimum distance

in the standard mode is 5 yards. To use the Automatic SCAN feature, simply

hold down on the POWER button for approximately 3 seconds and move the

rangeﬁnder from object to object while leaving the POWER button depressed.

Automatic SCAN will allow the range to be continuously updated as multiple

objects are targeted.

BullsEye™ (LCD Indicator - ) This advanced mode allows easy acquisition of

small targets and game without inadvertently getting distances to background

targets that have stronger signal strength. When more than one object has

been acquired, distance of the closer object will be displayed and a crosshair

will surround the BullsEye™ indicator informing the user that distance to the

closer object is being displayed in the LCD.

Once in this mode, press the POWER button to turn the unit on. Next, align the aiming circle onto the

object (i.e. deer) that you want distance to. Next, press and hold the POWER button and move the laser

slowly over the deer until crosshairs surround the BullsEye indicator. If the laser beam recognized more

than one object (i.e. deer and background trees), distance of the closer object (i.e. deer) will be displayed

and crosshairs will surround the BullsEye indicator informing the user that distance to the closer object

is being displayed in the LCD (Figure 1). There may be times when only the laser beam only sees one

object in its path. In this case, the distance will be displayed, but because more than one object was not

acquired, crosshairs will not surround the BullsEye indicator.
