CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR PURCHASE OF THE BUSHNELL®TOUR V2™ WITH

PINSEEKER™TECHNOLOGY. The TOUR V2 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 precise laser rangeﬁnding

optical instrument. To ensure optimal performance and longevity, please read these instructions before

using your TOUR V2.

INTRODUCTION

Your Tour V2 is Bushnell’s newest addition to an award winning line of golf laser rangeﬁnders speciﬁcally made

for golfers. Tour V2 features PinSeeker™technology, allowing the golfer to easily and quickly “zero” in on the

ﬂag without acquiring background targets. The Tour V2 is the most compact laser rangeﬁnder on the market,

weighing a mere 6.6 ounces and made to ﬁt into the palm of your hand. Tour V2 also features and adjustable

eyepiece, 5X magniﬁcation, and is capable of providing distance from 5 to 1000 yards with incredible one yard

accuracy! Like other Bushnell laser rangeﬁnders, the Tour V2 is not dependent upon reﬂectors, and will provide

distance to trees, bunkers, and virtually any object on the course, to any golf course in the world.

HOW OUR DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY WORKS

The TOUR V2 WITH PINSEEKER emits invisible, eye safe, infrared energy pulses. The TOUR V2 WITH

PINSEEKER’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 TOUR V2 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 700 yards/640 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. Red 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 TOUR V2 is constructed with an adjustable eyepiece (+/- 2 Diopter Adjustment) that allows one

to focus the LCD display relative to the image. Simply 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 TOUR V2 WITH PINSEEKER’s 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:

201930_33 Tour V2 6LIM.indd 7 8/26/08 2:40:23 PM

UNIT OF MEASURE OPTIONS

The TOUR V2 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, quickly 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 eyepiece) and hold it down for approximately 5 seconds. If you are

changing from yards to meters, a change in unit of measure will be indicated by the illumination of the M

for meter indicator while the Y for Yard indicator is turned off. If you are changing from meters to yards,

the opposite will occur. The TOUR V2 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 TOUR V2 WITH PINSEEKER was especially designed with golfers 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:

PinSeeker (LCD Indicator - ) Ever have trouble getting distance to the ﬂag? This advanced mode allows

easy acquisition of the ﬂag without inadvertently getting distances to background targets (i.e. trees) that

have stronger signal strength.

201930_33 Tour V2 6LIM.indd 8 8/26/08 2:40:23 PM

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

the ﬂag that you want distance to. Next, press and hold the POWER button and move the laser slowly

over the ﬂag or desired object until a circle surrounds the ﬂag indicator. If the laser beam recognized

more than one object (i.e. ﬂag and background trees), distance of the ﬂag will be displayed and a circle

will surround the PinSeeker indicator informing the user that distance to the ﬂag (i.e. closer object) is

being displayed in the LCD (as seen below). 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, a circle will not surround the ﬂag indicator.

TIP: While pressing the POWER button, you can move the device slowly from

object to object and intentionally force the laser to hit multiple objects to ensure

that you are only displaying the closest of the objects recognized by the laser.

Once the device has shut off, the unit will always default back to the last

mode used.

Tour V2 - Slope Edition (LCD Indicator - ° ) This advanced and patented mode

found on SLOPE EDITION models features a built-in accelerometer-based

inclinometer that digitally displays the exact slope angle from -20 to +20

degrees of elevation and is +/- 1.0 degree accurate. The Slope +/-™mode will

automatically compute an angle compensated range based upon distance and

slope angle determined by the laser rangeﬁnder and built-in inclinometer. This

data is then combined with internal algorithmic formulas dealing with average

club use and ball trajectories. The angle compensated range provides direction

on how to play the shot (i.e. add distance if an incline, subtract distance if

a decline).

201930_33 Tour V2 6LIM.indd 9 8/26/08 2:40:24 PM

How to use Slope™Mode

Once in this mode, you will see a “ ° ” in the ﬁeld of view informing you that you are in the Slope

+/- Mode. Press the POWER button to obtain distance to the ﬂag or other objects. Once the range is

displayed, continue to hold the POWER button down for approximately 2 seconds while holding the

aiming circle on the ﬂag and keeping the unit as steady as possible so as to allow the inclinometer

enough time to measure slope. Then release the POWER button. Once you have released the power

button, a degree of angle and compensated range will be displayed beneath the standard distance as

seen below.

In this example, the true distance is 162 yards, slope is +4 degrees, and the

compensated range is 173 yards. The “ ” symbol means “Play-As”, so instead of

playing as 162 yards, “play-as” 173 yards.

The Advantage of Slope Edition

The distance to ﬂag A in the drawing below is 162 yards.

It is also 162 yards to ﬂag B although it is on a slope.

However, if you were to play this hole as 162 yards, the

ball (X) would fall short of the hole/ﬂag because you did

nottake slope into account.
