This is likely solar burn — over time the device can develop small dots from sun exposure. The dots are cosmetic and should not affect performance. If solar burn becomes substantial enough to interfere with the viewing area, contact Bushnell Golf Support for options.
Before pairing the Pro X3 to the Bushnell App, please do the following:
Verify that the Pro X3 is not paired in your Bluetooth Settings. Some mobile devices will auto-pair to the device, preventing it from pairing via the App. If it is paired, please remove the device from the Bluetooth Settings.
Turn off/on Bluetooth before beginning the pairing process.
The Pro X3 does not require you to have your phone or the Bushnell App turned on, however to get the full benefit of the Elements function, please connect the Pro X3 to the Bushnell App prior to playing your round. The Bushnell App makes adjusting settings easier, plus you can save rounds and statistics.
To compare the Pro X3 to another rangefinder, turn off the Elements mode. There may still be slight differences, based on the Pro X3's next generation laser engine, but they should be similar. With Elements turned on, and having set your Home Elevation to where you play most often, the Pro X3 will provide the most accurate compensated distance.
The Pro X3 uses the next generation of laser technology, allowing the laser beam to capture the pin faster than previous models. In this case, the distance is displayed, but no JOLT indication will be provided because more than one object was not acquired. You can verify the distance to the pin (and get the JOLT feedback) by continually pressing the Power/Fire button and sweeping to the pin. This forces the Pro X3 to hit the background objects, then hit the pin, which should be closest object recognized by the laser.
Yes, the Pro X3 is manufactured and tested to withstand water exposure up to IPX7 standards. It is waterproof, submersible to a depth of 1 meter for up to 30 minutes.
Yes, follow these steps.
1. Blow away any excessive dust or debris on exterior (or use a soft brush).
2. To remove dirt or finger prints, clean with the supplied micro fiber cloth rubbing in a circular motion. Use of a coarse cloth or unnecessary rubbing may scratch the lens surface and eventually cause permanent damage. The included washable microfiber cleaning cloth is ideal for the routine cleaning of your optics. Simply breathe lightly on the lens to provide a slight amount of moisture, then gently rub the lens with the microfiber cloth.
3. For a more thorough cleaning, photographic lens tissue and photographic-type lens cleaning fluid or isopropyl alcohol may be used. Always apply fluid to the cleaning cloth - never directly on the lens.
Replace the battery when the unit won't turn on, the display doesn't illuminate, or the display goes blank when firing the laser. Use a quality CR2 3-volt lithium battery, inserted negative (flat) end first. We recommend replacing the battery at least every six months.
