  • Page 10 GENERAL OPERATION Your rangefinder provides 4 modes of operation: AMR, LOS, ABU and ABE/ABX. AMR and LOS will be explained on the next page. 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 sigsauer.com MODES OF OPERATION - ANGLE MODIFIED 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 21 sigsauer.com 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.
  • Page 22 CHANGING MODES OF OPERATION The rangefinder ships with the most common modes already configured. However, you can access and change the following features: • Line of Sight (LOS), Angle Modified Range (AMR), Applied Ballistics Ultralight (ABU) or ABE/ABX • Best or Last Target •...

  • Page 42 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.
  • Page 43 sigsauer.com 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.
