ThE COMPASS IN MY RX-IV GIVES INCORRECT REAdINGS WhEN

AIMING UPhILL OR dOWNhILL.

The compass in the RX-IV is tilt compensated up to a 30° uphill or

downhill line of sight. Unlike any other rangefinding product on

the market, the computer processor in the rangefinder takes the

compass reading and the inclinometer reading to create a correct

compass bearing calculation. Viewing angles in excess of 30° will

produce incorrect compass readings.

WhEN I ShOOT BASEd ON ThE TRUE BALLISTIC RANGE REAdOUT

PROVIdEd BY ThE RANGEFINdER, ThE PROjECTILE IS NOT hITTING

ThE TARGET.

The first step in correctly using TBR is to Practice, Practice,

Practice. Anytime you handle a firearm or bow, you are ultimately

responsible for your projectile. Be certain that if you're shooting

a bow that "BOW" is turned on.

Be certain that if you're shooting a rifle that "TBR" is turned on.

Be certain you selected the correct ballistics groups (see pages 5-6).

It is imperative that a rifle be sighted-in at the recommended range.

For rifles, ballistics performance of firearms and ammunition may

vary from manufacturers published information.

RANGEFINdER dOES NOT PROVIdE RANGE OR RANGE IS

OBVIOUSLY INCORRECT.

Make sure you don't have a mode turned on that prevents

the rangefinder from ranging your target. For example, if

Long Range Mode is on and ">150" appears at the top of the

display, you will not be able to range something at 50 yards.

The target may also be absorbing too much light (as in extremely

dark-colored animals). Try ranging an object next to the target.

Try turning on a mode that improves performance in your

conditions such as Rain Mode when it is raining (see Function 2

on page 2).

On RX-I and RX-II models, be certain you are not in the Quick Set
