GEN II LIGHTWAVETM DSP TECHNOLOGY
Your KILO features SIG SAUER’s second generation rangefinder engine. The new rangefinder engine features the latest generation, low power Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), a new Bluetooth 5.x Microcontroller (MCU) and a state of the art Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) to detect remote targets, which dramatically increases the range performance and sensitivity in any environment Environmental sensors are now embedded in each BDX enabled KILO along with the latest Applied Ballistics calculator The new KILOs still feature HyperScan for fast range results at up to 4 times per second and now includes FIRST target identification, FOG mode and Extended Range (XR) mode for use in tripod mounted applications. XR mode increases the range samples by a factor of 4, which improves remote target detection at extreme distances and is best utilized when the rangefinder is tripod mounted. All KILOs are field upgradeable with the BDX App ensuring your KILO will always have the latest features
There are now 5 Target Modes: FIRST, BEST, LAST, XR, and FOG. Your KILO detects multiple potential range results for every button press Using Digital Signal Processing (DSP), the best range results are stored for every range calculation. When in FIRST target mode the first valid range result is displayed. When in LAST target mode the last valid range result is displayed. When in BEST target mode the strongest valid range result is displayed. When SCAN feature is used (press and hold the RANGE button) your rangefinder will keep a running summary of range results and when in FIRST target mode the closest target will be displayed and persist being displayed When in LAST target mode the farthest of all target distances will be displayed For example, if there are three targets at different distances, i.e. 100, 50, and 300 yards, as you scan across these targets in FIRST target mode you would see “100” then “50” and then “50” as you scan across all three targets
11

In LAST target mode “100”, “100” and then “300” would be displayed FOG mode leverages additional DSP algorithms to filter out false readings and will display the last valid target detected XR mode provides range results at one update per second (instead of 4 times per second) In this mode the sampling rate is 4 times larger and allows detection of distant targets, and will always display the last valid target when one is detected Your KILO has a maximum reflective range up to 10,000 yards or over 5.5 miles. Due to the longer sampling time, your rangefinder may consume your battery faster than legacy SIG SAUER products when in SCAN mode. There is a Battery Saver mode that can be enabled to restrict your maximum range to 2,000 yards which will at least double the runtime of your KILO. You can find this setting in the MENU on your KILO and on the BDX App on the RANGEFINDER > SETTINGS page Solar load conditions play a major factor in detecting remote targets; under high solar loads you may experience difficulty in detecting distant targets, however, in overcast or morning / evening conditions you will easily be able to detect targets at extreme distances.

41

Selecting Ballistic Groups from the main menu takes you to a list of eight ballistic groups that you may choose to select instead of setting up a unique profile. Follow the instructions for you optic (riflescope, etc.) to choose a ballistic group
42

Tapping Rangefinders on the home page will bring up the rangefinder HUD. The top of the screen shows you your hold over, wind correction, range, and inclination This is the same information displayed in your rangefinder. You can also see the velocity and energy let in your round at the target distance. In the middle of the screen you can adjust wind speed and direction manually. To adjust the speed, press on the + or to increase or decrease the speed To change direction, press on the number on the clock from which the wind is blowing
43

Below the wind adjustment, you will find a RANGE button. This will allow you to mount your rangefinder in a tripod and press this button to remotely trigger your rangefinder.
44

Pressing the profile name will take you to the profile page. From here you can select a different profile or create a new one Pressing the Ballistic Calibration icon will give you a choice of two calibration routines If you are shooting at ranges where your round is supersonic, use the Muzzle Velocity calibration. If you are shooting at ranges where your round will pass through transonic into subsonic, you should use the drop scale factor If you are shooting subsonic ammo, such as 300 BLK, use the Muzzle Velocity calibration. The ballistic calibration routines allow you correct for errors in your measured muzzle velocity If you don’t have a chronograph, you can input the stated muzzle velocity on your factory ammo box as a starting point. You will need to be able to shoot your rifle at distance while performing either calibration. The muzzle velocity option requires that you range and shoot at a single distance of at least 300 yards The drop scale factor option requires that you range and shoot at two distances significantly further away. The exact distances will vary depending on the caliber and projectile you are shooting as the distances required are in the transonic and subsonic regions for your specific combination. Suggested ranges are provided on the calibration screen.
45

In order to use the Muzzle Velocity Calibration, you need to range a target at a range of at least 300 yards. In this example, the target is at 392.7 yards. Using the ballistic solution provided by the app for your profile, shoot a 3-5 shot group into that target Measure the distance from your point of aim to the center of the group Now open the app and go to the rangefinder HUD screen. Range the target again. Then press the Ballistic Calibration icon. You will get a popup asking which calibration type you would like to perform. Tap Muzzle Velocity. In this example, the center of the group was high. Next, you will be asked which units you measured in. In the example, the units are inches. Then you will be asked how many units you measured. In this example, the distance was 2 inches. Tap Confirm to accept the calibrated muzzle velocity. Range the target again and notice the new hold over value based on the updated muzzle velocity
47

Selecting Drop Scale Factor brings you to the advanced muzzle velocity and drop scale factor screen Notice in this example of a 6.5 PRC, the suggested distances are significantly further than 300 yards. Here, you will input the two ranges that you are shooting and the total drop at each range. Press the calculate button. Your new muzzle velocity and drop scale factor will populate in the results section. Press Set MV and Set DSF to accept the new values

Towards the bottom on the screen you will find the environmental parameters. For temperature, there are three choices for where the value is derived. Tap any of the three icons to choose it and turn it blue. The first icon indicates that the temperature will be taken from the rangefinder’s onboard sensors. The second icon indicates that the temperature will be taken from the closest local weather station The third icon allows you to manually input the temperature. Tapping that icon will turn the numerical value from gray to white. You may then tap the number and change it Density altitude is calculated from the onboard sensors for pressure and humidity and whichever temperature solution you have selected The value for density altitude is reported to the right
49

In the upper right of the screen, you will find the gear icon for the rangefinder settings. From here you can customize your app and rangefinder by choosing in which units the following parameters are displayed. These parameters may also be set within the rangefinder menu on the device itself as described earlier. Tap the values in white to change them
50

Tapping on Show Dimensions will bring up the Reticle Dimension screen Tap the Blue words to cycle through the various center reticles, grid patterns, and units of measure The gray numbers give the dimensions of the respective feature
Tapping Alignment Mode will bring you to the reticle alignment screen Here, you will be provided the ability to adjust the aiming reticle by up to 5 pixels in any direction. Some professional / expert users will sometimes find that the actual laser bar is slightly decentered from the exact center of the aiming circle (duplex or box) and may want to make a minor correction to the aiming feature. You must do this in conjunction with your rangefinder and your rangefinder should be tripod mounted. Pressing the U,D,L,R buttons will move your reticle up, down, left, or right accordingly How far your reticle has moved is shown in the middle of the screen The range to your target is also displayed
This functionality will allow you to range a very precise target and test that your laser is properly centered in the aiming feature
You will need to remotely range with the BDX App and make minor adjustments to your KILO to make sure that you are getting accurate ranges from a very small target. Most users find that the top of a telephone pole or antenna works best with only the sky behind the target, so you can know with precision that you are in fact ranging your target. Once you confirm that the rangefinder is returning the correct range for this small target, use the U,D,L,R buttons while looking through the rangefinder to adjust the center position of the reticle to the center of the target
51

BASEMAPTM
To connect your KILO to your BaseMap app, first, open BaseMap. Tap on Tools in the lower right. Tap on BaseMap Connect in the upper right. Turn on Bluetooth, if needed, and tap on your rangefinder in the available devices menu. Read the PIN in your rangefinder display and enter it in the BaseMap popup. Select OK. You rangefinder is now paired with BaseMap. Use the Remote Marker option from the tools menu to range targets and automatically drop markers on your map at that location

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)
Q: I am pressing the RANGE button and nothing happens? A: Check to make sure you have a fresh CR2 battery installed If the battery is new, try loosening and tightening the battery cap until the cap is snug. If this doesn’t fix the problem you may have switched the rangefinder into one of the low brightness settings for the OLED display. Go into a dark room and press the RANGE button In this case, if the display becomes barely visible you need to go into programming mode and adjust the brightness to a medium or high setting, or put the display in AUTO adjust mode
Q: Information on the display is disappearing is this normal? A: Yes. The rangefinder OLED display was optimized to only present the most important information while in use Upon initial wake up, all your settings are visible such as the battery indicator, Line of Sight (LOS) or Angle Modified Range (AMR), LAST or BEST target mode and unit of measure. After the first range is acquired or in SCAN mode, after about 2 seconds, only the aiming circle and range information is displayed
Q: I can’t get the display to focus? A: You need to adjust the diopter ring to your vision. The diopter ring is located in front of the eyecup and rotates approximately 40 degrees in either direction to accommodate your unique prescription.
54

Q: I can’t seem to range past 1200 yards on trees? A: The rangefinder will have very different performance based on changes in ambient conditions such as bright sunlight or snow, rain or fog, temperature and the reflectivity of the target being ranged. For example, at dusk or dawn your rangefinder may be able to range trees at over 2000 yards but in bright sunlight may only achieve 1100 yards. This is normal, however, the KILO is the highest performance compact rangefinder available.
Q: My battery seems to drain too fast? A: Most commercial rangefinders will provide over 4000 individual range calculations using a fresh CR2 primary lithium battery The KILO has additional sensors and Bluetooth which consume more battery power The rangefinder exceeds 4000 ranges on a fresh battery, however, when heavily using SCAN mode this will cause the battery to drain much faster as the range processor remains active at all times and you will quickly exceed 4000 range calculations due to the HyperScan mode. This is normal operation but you should always keep a spare CR2 battery when heading out to remote locations. You can also turn off Bluetooth to extend your runtime
Q: When in SCAN mode my rangefinder turns off after 20 seconds, is this normal? A: Yes – the SCAN mode is limited to 20 seconds to remain eye safe in all conditions. You can reenter SCAN mode by releasing and pressing the RANGE button again
55

Q: My Bluetooth link between my smartphone and my rangefinder keeps disconnecting? A: You can update your Settings / Preferences from the home screen on your app. Click on the Settings / Preferences button in the upper right hand corner of the screen and then change the KILO Timeout setting to 30, 60 or 180 seconds. This will keep the rangefinder awake longer allowing you to synchronize and update settings However, by increasing the KILO Timeout settings this will also force you to wait longer to put the rangefinder back into Programming Mode. You will have to wait for the rangefinder to timeout, wake the unit back up by pressing the RANGE button and then pressing and holding down the MODE button for 2 seconds to re-enter programming mode Or, alternatively, you can close the SIG Ballistic App and then enter programming mode if you don’t want to wait for the rangefinder to time out. If you are still experiencing connection issues make sure you are using the latest version of the SIG Ballistic App. You can update your app from the App Store or the Google Play store. You may also need to turn your Bluetooth radio OFF and back ON again to restore the link
Q: I’m getting a different temperature reading from my rangefinder when I know the ambient temperature is different? A: If you are carrying the rangefinder in a pocket or it is sitting in the sun it may sense a different temperature than the ambient environment. You can either let your rangefinder sit in the shade for a few minutes or you can override the temperature by entering the Environment sub menu on the app, touching the KILO icon next to the word “TEMPERATURE” and manually entering the temperature be sure to press SYNC to update the temperature on the rangefinder.
56

Q: My rangefinder is not calculating elevation and wind holds no holds are showing up on the OLED display or in the HUD on the app? A: Your rangefinder is probably set to AMR (Angle Modified Range). In AMR mode only the angle modified range is displayed on the HUD and on the OLED display Go into Programming Mode and switch the range mode from AMR to LOS. Next, select a Profile (i.e. Pro 1). Be sure to have at least one Profile configured on your app and synchronized with your rangefinder.
Q: My rangefinder is not working. I’ve tried everything but the display will not turn on. A: It is possible that you have set the display brightness to setting LOW 1 Go into a dark room and press the RANGE button. You should see the display. Press and hold the MODE button down to enter the programming mode Press and release the MODE button until you see the display setting (i e Low 1) Press the RANGE button to select a different setting such as Hi 1 or AUTO. AUTO is recommended as the display will now automatically adjust to the correct brightness based on your local conditions Once selected continue pressing the MODE button until you exit the programming mode.
Q: My blue LED on the power selector ring on my SIERRA3 will not turn on. A: Look through your SIERRA3. You most likely have the Digital Ballistic Reticle turned ON. Go into your BDX App, select the SIGHTS page and turn the Ballistic Reticle OFF
57

Q: My ballistic solution in the HUD and displayed in the KILO is always off a few inches. A: For accurate ballistic solutions make sure you have updated the temperature and altitude within the App to your current location, you have the correct bullet caliber (diameter) and weight selected, your zero distance is correct and that your muzzle velocity is correct. Using the MV Calibration routine provides the most accurate MV and will improve the accuracy of the ballistic calculator. It is always best to use the MV Calibration routine at the farthest distance you intend to shoot. Calibrating at 500 yards will yield a better MV than calibrating at 300 yards Q: When using AB External on my KILO I can no longer see the rangefinder information on the HUD in the BDX App. A: If your KILO and a Kestrel are actively paired (sending / receiving information) the BDX App cannot be connected and paired to your KILO at the same time Q: My KILO is set to AB External but isn’t displaying holdover information. A: To display a complete ballistic solution your KILO must be actively paired with a Kestrel No holdover information is displayed unless the Kestrel and KILO are both on and actively paired
58

Q: The rangefinder HUD in the BDX App is sluggish when using my KILO in AB External mode (Kestrel is not paired to the KILO). A: AB External mode on your KILO was designed to be used directly with a Kestrel with AB Elite on board. This communications protocol is relatively slow and does not respond quickly as compared to using AB Ultralight AB Ultralight resides on your KILO and is much faster for calculating ballistic solutions out to 800 yards Q: My KILO and Kestrel are paired but I am not getting anything but zero’s for elevation and wind holds. A: You need to setup at least one custom bullet profile on your Kestrel. See the Kestrel instructions for setting up a bullet profile.
