Thank you for purchasing your new Bushnell® Fusion™ X Ranging Binoculars.
This manual will help you optimize your viewing experience by explaining how you can adjust the
ranging binocular to your eyes and care for this instrument. Read the instructions carefully before using
your ranging binoculars.
INTRODUCTION
our Bushnell® Fusion™ X is a premium laser-ranging binocular with the latest digital technology, providing precise range readings from 5-1800
Y
yards/5-1646 meters. Measuring 7.1in x 5.4in x 2.3in, the 35oz Fusion™ X delivers high-speed target acquisition, with +/- 1 yard accuracy to the
maximum range. The Fusion™ X ranging binocular features Bushnell's patented ARC™ (Angle Range Compensation with Ballistics Intelligence), a
new Ranging Engine for faster, more consistent response and readings, an ACTIVSYNC™ LCD with higher light transmission and water-resistant (IPX4)
construction along with EXO™ Barrier Coating on the optics.
*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 affects. 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 a good range. In contrast,
a steep angle, on the other hand, provides limited ranging. Also, 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. Conversely, very sunny days will decrease the unit's maximum range.
HOW OUR DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY WORKS
The Fusion™ X laser ranging binocular emits invisible, eye-safe, infrared energy pulses. The Fusion™ X ranging binocular's FPGA 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 ranging binocular to the target and back.
EYECUP ADJUSTMENT
Your Bushnell Fusion™ X ranging binocular has eyecups (Fig. 1) that provide a comfortable view of the whole image and help to exclude extraneous
light. For use without eyeglasses or sunglasses, twist up the eyecups (Fig. 2). The raised eyecups will place your eyes farther from the ranging binocular's
ocular lenses at the correct eye relief distance, allowing you to see the whole field of view.
NEVER LOOK DIRECTLY AT THE SUN WITH YOUR RANGING
BINO, AS IT MAY CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE TO YOUR EYES
