INTRODUCTION
The Carson® RF-650 LiteWave™ rangefinder emits a laser beam that is invisible and safe
to the eyes. The LiteWave™ then calculates distances by measuring the time it takes for
the laser to travel from the rangefinder to the target and then back again.
ACCURACY
The LiteWave™ rangefinder is accurate to within +/- 1 yard in most cases. The effective
operating range is from a minimum of 5 yards to a maximum range of 650 yards (3.5
meters to 600 meters). Please note that the maximum operating range may vary due to
the reflective properties of the viewing subject, the size of the viewing subject and the
environmental conditions at the time of use. Highly reflective shiny surfaces allow for
longer ranges than dull, less reflective surfaces. Larger subjects are easier to measure
than small ones. Bright light conditions adversely affect the maximum range of the
item. The angle to the viewing subject may also affect the range. Viewing objects at a
steep angle will limit the operating range.

Flip tab on battery door up and twist counter clockwise to remove. Insert included
CR2 3-Volt Lithium battery into the compartment negative side first and replace
battery door.
A low battery icon will appear at the top of the viewing screen when it is time to
replace the battery.
Please remove battery during extended periods of disuse.
*Please note a paper tab was placed in the battery compartment during shipping to
avoid battery drain. Please remove and discard this tab prior to using the item.

UNITS OF MEASURE
The LiteWave™ can be used to measure distances in either Yards or Meters. To change
the unit of measure, first power on the unit and then press and hold both the MODE and
POWER buttons simultaneously for three seconds. You will see the reticle display toggle
between “Y” and “M”.
USAGE MODES
The LiteWave™ rangefinder operates in three different modes. Mode 1 measures straight
line distance and degree of elevation. Mode 2 measures straight line (actual) distance,
degree of elevation, horizontal distance and the vertical distance between the horizontal
and actual distances. Mode 3 displays all the measurements from Mode 2, however, in
this mode the item will continuously scan these distances as you move the reticle around
and view different subjects. The LiteWave™ will default to Mode 1 when the item is first
powered on. Press the MODE button once to access Mode 2 or twice to access Mode 3.
6
MODE 1: MEASURING ACTUAL DISTANCE AND DEGREE OF ELEVATION
While looking through the eyepiece, press the POWER button to activate the LCD reticle
display. Focus on your viewing subject. Place the crosshairs in the center of the reticle
on your target object and press the POWER button again. The LCD will display both the
degree of elevation from +90° to -90° and the straight line (actual) distance to the target
object. To obtain a new reading or target another object simply aim and press the
POWER button again and a new reading will be displayed. The results will be displayed
for 20 seconds before the LCD automatically shuts off.
7
MODE 2: MEASURING ACTUAL DISTANCE, DEGREE OF ELEVATION,
HORIZONTAL DISTANCE AND VERTICAL HEIGHT
After powering on the unit, press the MODE button once to access Mode 2. This mode
displays the same information as Mode 1 but also displays the horizontal distance and
vertical height.
8
When viewing at steep inclines or declines, the actual distance to your subject is always
longer than the horizontal distance. The horizontal distance takes into account the fact
that your target might be at a different elevation than you are. Mode 2 displays both
the actual and horizontal distances.
9
The LiteWave™ can also measure the height of the object you are viewing. This can be
accomplished several different ways depending on your elevation relative to the
object you are viewing.
If you are standing level to the base of the object you are viewing, simply point the
rangefinder to the top of the object and press the POWER button to obtain a
measurement. The Height will appear next to the word “High” in the LCD display.
