    Default Bushnell Rangefinder Error Codes???

    Hey all,
    I've got a Bushnell Tour Z6 which is 18 months or so old.
    It came up with an E33 code on the display yesterday.

    Used it over 36 holes on Friday, worked perfect. First hole yesterday this error code showed up.

    So far I have:
    taken battery out and put back in
    tried new battery
    push/held the "B" button on the side for 30 seconds
    push/held the the red shot button on top for 30 seconds

    nothing has worked.
    can't seem to find anything online on Bushnell sites or general google to answer what the E33 code means. It is obviously not a good code.

    anyone know of my best course of action??


    cheers.

    simmsy.

    I recently talked to Champion Sports (Bushnell Australia) - they can't do any repairs on rangefinders at all.

    Maybe a camera repair place?

    Did you buy it new?
    I'd expect more use than 18 months before it had a significant problem.

    I'd be contacting them to say there is a major issue with the product [and i'd like a repair or refund]

    I found Champion good to deal with a few years ago when I had a problem with a GPS I bought from the US. They gave me a replacement GPS (different model because the model I bought was trouble prone).

    Got hold of Champion Sports this morning. They were great!
    I said, my Rangefinder died on the weekend.
    straight away the person said "was it an E33 code"
    wow!!
    they are getting lots of them coming in for this error.

    Are they going to fix or replace it?

    They said replace. It is unfixable with the E33 error.
    Hopefully that comes through with no dramas. I've just sent off their paperwork and purchase docs from Qantas FF store.

    Found this online:

    E-33 error is due to overuse and repeatedly pressing the scan button over a short period of time.

    Good result. You could always have dropped the Australian Consumer Law argument but looks like it wasn't needed in this case which is a credit to the supplier.

    Received new rangefinder from Champion Sports today. Can't recommend them enough if you have any issues with your Bushnell. They were on the ball from the outset. V5Shift now in the bag!
