How slope works on this model
The COOLSHOT PROIII STABILIZED uses ID Technology.
The laser first measures the direct line-of-sight distance. The slope system then uses elevation information to estimate a playing distance.
Uphill shots generally receive a longer adjusted distance than the direct reading; downhill shots generally receive a shorter adjusted distance.
Nikon ID Technology is the manufacturer’s incline/decline guide-distance system.
Official model-specific slope controls
Press MODE to cycle through four measurement display modes.
Golf Mode shows actual distance together with a slope-adjusted guide distance.
Actual Distance Mode removes the incline/decline guide distance for competition use.
In Actual Distance Mode, the external Actual Distance Indicator blinks green to show observers that incline/decline compensation is not being used.
Tournament use
The COOLSHOT PROIII STABILIZED is listed as tournament legal in Actual Distance Mode, which removes the incline/decline guide distance.
Slope troubleshooting
No slope-adjusted guide distance
Cycle the MODE button and confirm Golf Mode is selected. Actual Distance Mode intentionally removes the incline/decline guide distance.
Need visible tournament confirmation
Use Actual Distance Mode. Nikon states the external Actual Distance Indicator blinks green when incline/decline compensation is not being used.
Slope-adjusted distance is not appearing
Confirm slope is enabled using Mode, then re-range a target with a clear elevation change.
Slope will not turn off
Return the COOLSHOT PROIII STABILIZED to its non-slope setting using Mode. Confirm the setting before competition.

What does slope do on the Nikon COOLSHOT PROIII STABILIZED?
