How slope works on this model
The COOLSHOT 50i GII 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 switch between Golf Mode and Actual Distance Mode.
Golf Mode shows actual distance plus a slope-adjusted guide distance.
Actual Distance Mode is the competition-oriented mode and removes the incline/decline guide distance.
The Actual Distance Indicator blinks to show that incline/decline measurement is not being used.
Tournament use
The COOLSHOT 50i GII is listed as tournament legal when used with slope assistance switched off. Confirm the model is in its permitted non-slope configuration before competitive play.
Slope troubleshooting
Slope-adjusted guide distance is missing
Press MODE and make sure Golf Mode is selected. Actual Distance Mode intentionally suppresses slope adjustment.
Need competition configuration
Select Actual Distance Mode and confirm the Actual Distance Indicator is blinking.
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 50i GII to its non-slope setting using Mode. Confirm the setting before competition.
