Ohiobucks Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 Saw this on AT, thought I'd share it here. Some guys said they tried it and it supposedly works. I know Tominator was/is having issues with his..... I thought my Nikon 440 was on the brink. It was only reading ranges of 25yds or so, otherwise blanking on me. Well, I started doing a little research, and found that there is a reset procedure to reset the electronics, and restore it's function!!! Saved me $200 I was thinking I was gonna need to spend before I head west for my Elk Hunt!!!! Hallelujah, what a relief. If any of you guys has a Nikon 440 that is acting up here is what you need to do to "reset" the electronics and hopefully restore function...... "Hold both the mode and power buttons down for 30 seconds simultaneously, and it SHOULD reset the electronics, and restore you're rangefinder to it's original working order." If this helps ONE GUY I'm gonna be very happy as it saved me $200-250 this morning when I reset mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckee Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 That's a great tip Tom. I'm not having any troubles with mine yet, but if I do, I now know what to do. Thanks ..eh:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruttinbuc Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 My Buckmaster 800's had a rattle in there like something came apart. Supposedly heat from inside my closed truck was the culprit. I really don't miss that rangefinder now that I have my little Leupold RX-2's.

Tominator Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 That would have been nice last year, but I dropped the stupid thing while moving out of the old house which knocked something loose inside. I tossed mine. I guess it's worth a try for those who have one that's acting up, but I'm thinking mine either had something wrong with it, or Nikon was really about to put the screws to me seeing as they wanted $176 to repair the thing. Seems to me if they could have just reset the electronics, they would have done that when they sent it back to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
