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.
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 KILO8K-ABS 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.
