GEN II LIGHTWAVE™ DSP TECHNOLOGY SIG SAUER’s proprietary Gen II Lightwave DSP engine leverages HyperScan – an advanced power management technique that provides the fastest refresh rate in scan mode (4 times per second) even at distances over 2 miles. Our DSP engine uses the latest generation field programmable gate array (FPGA) running sophisticated signal processing algorithms to reduce false positives while finding weak or distant targets.
SIG SAUER BALLISTIC DATA XCHANGE 2.0 (BDX 2.0) SIG SAUER’s Patent Pending BDX system takes the guesswork out of determining the proper range and ballistics solution for hitting your target with the first round. Low Energy Bluetooth combined with an embedded ballistic calculator (Applied Ballistics Ultralight) allows the user to configure up to 25, custom bullet profiles on the free BDX App and sync to your KILO®.
QuickBOND™ allows you to quickly bond your KILO® to a SIERRA™ riflescope. On the SIERRA riflescope, insert the batteries and turn on to illumination setting 1. Then turn on the KILO by pressing and releasing the RANGE button. Press and hold down both the RANGE and MODE buttons for at least three seconds while looking through the KILO at the display. Once the display in the rangefinder reads “BOND” then “GOOD” your devices have been bonded (blue LED on the SIERRA should now be solid blue).
GENERAL OPERATION Your rangefinder provides 4 modes of operation: AMR, LOS, BDX-U (AB Ultralite), and BDX-X. AMR and LOS will be explained in the section. When BDX-U 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. For example, the user downloads and installs the BDX App, selects a 0.
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. AMR is very accurate for shorter distances (i.e. < 400 yards) and archery. Line of sight is the range to the target independent of angle.
ANGLE MODIFIED RANGE Example: LOS range of 500 yards at 30’ decline is equivalent to an AMR range of 433 yards 12
APPLIED BALLISTICS ULTRALIGHT (BDX-U) AND EXTERNAL (BDX-X) 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 BDX-U mode, will provide an accurate ballistic solution out to 800 yards maximum.

LUMATIC™ OLED DISPLAY The KILO4K™ has the most advanced display on the market. Our transparent OLED display has the largest dynamic range providing for high brightness in bright sunlight or snow conditions, yet will dim down to near night vision levels at dusk and dawn. No other display offers this adaptive ability to prevent your pupil from constricting in low light causing you to no longer be able to see your target.

SAFETY AND OPERATION PROCEDURES The KILO® is classified as a Class 3R product. WARNING LASER • DO NOT PRESS THE RANGE BUTTON WHILE AIMING AT THE HUMAN EYE OR WHILE LOOKING INTO THE TRANSMITTING OPTICS ON THE OBJECTIVE SIDE. • DO NOT LEAVE THE KILO WITHIN REACH OF SMALL CHILDREN. • DO NOT TAKE THE PRODUCT APART OR MODIFY THE PRODUCT IN ANY WAY TO EXPOSE INTERNAL ELECTRONICS THAT MIGHT CAUSE DAMAGE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK. • DO NOT USE ANY OTHER POWER SOURCE OTHER THAN A CR2 BATTERY OR EQUIVALENT.
OPERATION The KILO4K™ is designed to get you up and running without the typical complexity of buried menus and programming modes. The rangefinders come out of box in the following configuration and can also be configured with the free BDX App: A. Angle Modified Range (equivalent horizontal range) B. Best Target (rangefinder returns the best or most likely target, not the first or last) C. Illumination control (AUTO) D.
SET UP Installing the Battery Remove the battery cap by turning the cap in a counterclockwise direction. Insert (1) CR2 Primary Lithium battery (–) terminal side first. The (+) terminal should be facing out. Place the cap onto the (+) battery terminal and reinstall the battery cap by turning the cap in the clockwise direction. CAUTION BE CAREFUL TO NOT CROSS-THREAD THE CAP.
After installation of the battery and depressing the RANGE button, the status of the rangefinder is displayed: 20
ATTACHING THE LANYARD Install the lanyard loop through the lanyard attachment point. Pass the lanyard back through the loop for secure attachment.
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 counterclockwise depending upon the user’s prescription. EYECUP ADJUSTMENT The eyecup adjustment allows the user to adjust the eye relief for use with or without glasses.
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 time-out has been set within in the SIG BDX App. You can then press the RANGE button to determine range to target.
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.

PAIRING A KESTREL® OR GARMIN® WITH AB ELITE Using the RANGE / MODE buttons on your KILO or the BDX App, put the KILO in BDX-X (AB External) mode. This allows the KILO to be discoverable by the Kestrel or Garmin. BDX-X will be displayed in the KILO. AB External will be displayed in the App. Close the BDX App. Next, turn on your Kestrel. Follow the instructions for the Kestrel to turn on the Bluetooth radio and connect devices to the Kestrel (https://kestrelinstruments.com/support/manualsanddownloads).
BASEMAP™ 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 can’t get the display to focus. A: You need to adjust the diopter ring to your vision. Rotate the eyecup / diopter ring in either direction until the display comes into sharp focus. Q: I can’t seem to range very far past trees or animals. A: Your KILO® will perform differently based on changes in ambient conditions such as bright sunlight or snow, rain or fog, temperature and the reflectivity of the target being ranged.
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.
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.
