Using an ULT-G GPS watch or an earlier rangefinder? Find your exact manual ↗

PINM8 / PINM8 Pro

Both versions use USB-C charging. The Pro adds the red display and magnet.

How do I switch between yards and meters?

Turn the rangefinder on, then hold the MODE button for about 3 seconds to switch the measurement unit. Check the Y or M indicator in the display before taking your next reading.

How do I charge it?

Open the cover over the USB-C port and connect the USB-C cable. The manual identifies a green charging LED as the full-charge indication. These models recharge through USB-C; the CR2 replacement instructions for older rangefinders do not apply.

How do I pick up the flag?

Briefly press MODE until the flag indicator appears for Pin Seeker. Hold the power button while slowly sweeping across the flag. Keep the sweep close to the flag: another nearer object can be selected if you pan too far.

VPRO500

Choose the original-model or 2024-upgrade manual for your device. Range and feature specifications differ between editions.

How do I switch between yards and meters?

With the device on, hold MODE for about 3 seconds to alternate between yards and meters. A short press changes the measurement mode instead. Check the unit shown in the display.

Which battery does my VPRO500 use?

The original VPRO500 and the 2024 upgrade manuals specify a CR2 3 V lithium battery. Follow your edition’s battery-compartment diagram for installation and polarity. Use the low-battery indicator rather than a promised number of rounds to decide when to replace it.

KLYR

Use these instructions for KLYR, rather than a different model with a similar case.

How do I change the unit and adjust the focus?

Turn the device on and hold MODE for about 3 seconds to switch yards/meters. To focus, look through the eyepiece and rotate its adjustment left or right until the view is clear.

Which battery does KLYR use?

KLYR uses a CR2 3 V lithium battery. Open the battery cover using its turning flap, follow the polarity markings and the manual’s diagram, then close the cover securely.

ULT-S / ULT-S Pro

The Pro has additional display settings. Use its own manual when navigating the settings menu.

How do I switch between yards and meters?

Hold MODE for about 3 seconds to enter Settings. Use MODE to reach the unit-of-measurement setting (yd/m), then use the power button to change it. Follow the settings section for your exact model; the Pro has an extra display-luminosity setting.

Which battery do these models use?

Both manuals specify a CR123 lithium battery. Follow the battery-compartment diagram and polarity markings. This is a different battery reference from the CR2 used by VPRO500 and KLYR.

Do I need to turn stabilization on?

Optical image stabilization starts automatically when the rangefinder is on. There is no separate stabilization setting to enable. It helps steady the view, while you still need to aim at the intended target.

Focus & readings

Where can I check my model’s range and accuracy?

Use the specifications in the manual for your exact model and edition. The original VPRO500, its 2024 upgrade and ULT-X have different specifications; one range or accuracy figure does not describe every TecTecTec rangefinder.

How long will the battery last, and how should I store the device?

Battery life varies with use, mode and conditions. Check the battery indicator rather than relying on a fixed number of rounds. Follow your model’s storage instructions and avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures or humidity.

What is the cord on the rangefinder case for?

On cases fitted with an elastic cord and a metal stud, the cord hooks over the stud for quick closure. Cases differ by model; use the closure supplied with yours.

Can I use my rangefinder in a tournament?

Check the event’s equipment rules with the organizer, including restrictions on slope-adjusted measurements. Follow your model’s instructions for disabling slope when required. Do not assume every mode is permitted in every event.

Why does the distance look wrong?

First check whether the display is in yards or meters. Then check the target and whether you are reading a direct distance or a slope-adjusted distance. A reading to a tree behind the flag, or to a different reference point on a GPS device, will not describe the same target.

Why do the numbers change while I hold the button?

In Scan mode, holding the power button updates the distance as you move across targets. For a single reading in Normal mode, aim steadily and use a brief press. Check the mode indicator and your model’s manual if the behavior is unexpected.

The image is blurred or I cannot get a reading. What should I check?

Adjust the eyepiece until the view is clear. Make sure the front optics are unobstructed and try a clearly visible target. Take the reading outside the cart windshield: glass or plastic can interfere with measurement. Check the charge or battery indicator as well.

How should I care for the lenses?

Use a soft lens-cleaning cloth and follow the cleaning instructions in your model’s manual. Avoid rubbing grit into the optics or pouring liquid directly onto a lens. Contact support if condensation, damage or inconsistent readings persist.

Still need a hand?

Send us your model and edition, the unit and mode displayed, and what happens when you take a reading. Include your order number if you have it.
