Inconsistent Measurements

If you notice significant discrepancies in distance readings compared to known distances, it may indicate the need for calibration.

Frequent Use

Regular use, especially in rugged conditions, can affect accuracy. If you’ve used your rangefinder extensively, consider recalibrating it.

Physical Damage

If the rangefinder has been dropped or exposed to extreme conditions, recalibration may be necessary to ensure accurate measurements.

Change in Performance

If the device starts taking longer to provide readings or displays unusual behavior, it may require calibration.

User Manual Recommendations

Refer to the manufacturer’s guidelines. Many manuals suggest recalibration after a certain period or usage level.

Comparison with a Known Distance

Measure a known distance (like a marked range) and see if the readings match. Significant differences indicate a need for recalibration.

Battery Changes

After changing the battery, some rangefinders may require recalibration to ensure continued accuracy.

Regularly monitoring the performance of your golf laser rangefinder and being aware of signs that indicate the need for calibration will help maintain its accuracy and reliability.
