  • Page 10: Operation

    GENERAL OPERATION Your rangefinder provides 4 modes of operation: AMR, LOS, ABU and Ballistic Group selection. When ABU is selected the user can pair the KILO® with a nearby smartphone where the BDX App should already be installed. The user configures a bullet profile in the app, which is actively synced with a paired rangefinder.
  • Page 11 MODES OF OPERATION - ANGLE MODIFED RANGE (AMR) AND LINE OF SIGHT (LOS) Angle modified range is the equivalent horizontal range to the target and is comparable to the “horizontal leg” of a triangle. AMR is also known as “rifleman’s rule” and uses the LOS range and angle of incline to calculate the horizontal distance the projectile travels between shooter and target.
  • Page 12 ANGLE MODIFIED RANGE Example: LOS range of 500 yards at 30’ decline is equivalent to an AMR range of 433 yards...
  • Page 13 APPLIED BALLISTICS ULTRALIGHT (ABU) Your rangefinder has an embedded ballistics solver developed by Sig Sauer, Applied Ballistics and nVisti. By pairing your KILO® with the free BDX App you can enter custom ballistics information for up to 25 bullet profiles and sync one at a time to your KILO. The active ballistic profile is now saved on your KILO, and when in ABU mode, will provide an accurate ballistic solution out to 800 yards maximum.
  • Page 14 Example: LOS range = 568.6 yards with 0.308 Barnes Elevation adjustment = 18.19 MOA Up Windage adjustment = 7.59 MOA Right...

  • Page 21 DIOPTER ADJUSTMENT The diopter or focus adjustment is integral to the eyecup. The focus adjustment is used to bring the display into sharp focus along with the target image. The diopter adjustment can turn clockwise or counter-clockwise depending upon the user’s prescription. The eye relief can be adjusted by rolling the rubber eyecup over for users that may be wearing glasses.

  • Page 22: Display Information

    DISPLAY INFORMATION The display shows you the center aiming circle, the unit of measure (Y), Angle Modified Range mode (AMR) and the remaining battery status. The display will remain active for up to 30 seconds, or whatever timeout has been set within in the SIG BDX App. You can then press the RANGE button to determine range to target.

  • Page 23: Changing Modes Of Operation

    HyperScan MODE While the rangefinders support single button push ranging operation, it is highly recommended that you push and hold the RANGE button down to activate HyperScan mode. This mode allows you to scan targets at 4X/second which significantly improves ranging performance at extreme distances. As the ranging distances are updated very quickly in HyperScan mode, once you release the RANGE button the last acquired distance will be displayed.

    KILO. Relaunch the App, turn on your KILO and repeat the Pairing instructions in this manual. Q: I can’t locate the BDX App on the Apple or Android Stores. A: Search for Sig Sauer or BDX at the store.
  • Page 41 Q: My battery drains too fast. A: Most rangefinders will provide over 4000 individual range calculations using a fresh CR2 primary lithium battery. Your KILO® exceeds this specification. When heavily using SCAN mode the battery may appear to drain faster since your KILO is ranging 4x per second in HyperScan mode. This is normal operation but you should keep a spare CR2 battery when heading out to remote locations.
