Battery system explained

CR123/CR123A is a 3V lithium battery and is physically larger than CR2. The two sizes are not interchangeable.

No dependable model-specific battery-life figure is listed. Disposable-cell life varies mainly with how often the laser is fired, battery quality, storage and temperature.

How to replace the battery

Turn the rangefinder off before opening the battery compartment.
Remove the old battery and confirm the compartment calls for CR123/CR123A 3V lithium.
Check the + and − polarity markings before inserting the new battery.
Install the fresh CR123/CR123A 3V lithium battery in the indicated orientation.
Close the battery cover completely and test the rangefinder with a normal distance reading.
Compatibility warning: CR123/CR123A and CR2 are not interchangeable. Use the CR123/CR123A size specified for this model.

Battery life and what affects it

No dependable model-specific battery-life figure is listed. Disposable-cell life depends on battery quality, storage conditions, temperature and how often the laser is activated.

Battery troubleshooting

Pro 1M Slope will not power on

Start with a fresh CR123 3V lithium battery and confirm the polarity shown inside the Pro 1M Slope battery compartment. Because this model uses a replaceable cell, a known-good battery is the quickest way to rule out a power issue.

Fresh CR123 battery but still no power

Confirm the battery is CR123/CR123A rather than CR2 and that it is seated firmly against both contacts.

Intermittent power after wet weather

The Pro 1M Slope is listed as Waterproof. Even so, check the battery compartment and seal for moisture or debris before installing another battery.

Older model drains batteries quickly

The Pro 1M Slope dates from 2011, so battery contacts, compartment seals and age-related electrical wear are worth checking if fresh batteries are draining unusually fast.

Battery care and storage

If the Pro 1M Slope will sit unused for months, remove the CR123 3V lithium battery and store it separately in a dry place.
Carry one spare CR123 3V lithium battery if you rely on the Pro 1M Slope during a full round or trip; it is quicker than trying to diagnose a dead unit on the course.
The Pro 1M Slope is listed as Waterproof, but still keep the battery compartment seal and mating surfaces clean so the cover can close properly.
Because this Pro 1M Slope is an older 2011-era design, inspect battery contacts occasionally for oxidation or loss of spring tension.
