listing the caliber to select a bullet from the next list. Note: you can edit specific bullet spec details later if you are using
a custom load.
6. Tap "Environment" to enter details about the current local conditions at your shooting location (Fig. 9). This data has
an impact on bullet drop/compensated distance as well. You can get local temperature, wind speed, air pressure and
humidity data from the nearest national weather service station (Fig. 10) by selecting "Internet" with the "Weather
Source" slide switch. Wind Direction must be entered manually as it varies frequently by location. Note that wind
direction is "clock dial based" rather than "compass based", with 12:00 representing the direction you are pointing
your firearm, and 6:00 being directly behind you. To enter all weather data manually, select "Manual" as the Weather
Source and use the pop-up keypad. Once you have all weather data, tap the checkmark (bottom right corner) to
confirm and exit Environment (Fig. 11). Note that wind direction is "clock dial based" rather than "compass based", with
12:00 representing the direction you are pointing your firearm, and 6:00 being directly behind you. The altitude at your
shooting location can be manually entered, or select "Phone" on the Altitude Source switch to automatically obtain
the data from your smartphone. Under "Target" on the Environment screen, tap the black number under "Inclination-
Deg" to enter the angle (incline/decline) to your target in degrees, or tap "Take Measurement From Phone" (Fig. 10)
to use your smartphone or tablet's internal inclinometer-just point the front edge of the device up or down towards the
target (relative to the angle of the firearm when shooting). Cosine data may also be entered. Note: some items within
the app may appear grayed out, indicating that no user selectable settings are available. For grayed out Environmental
factors, check the Weather Source setting (when set to "Internet", all weather data except Wind Direction is automatically
provided). Grayed out ballistics related parameters can be unlocked with an upgrade (see "Upgrade Options", pg. 8).
7. (Optional-provides useful data within the app, but not necessary for integration with the Nitro rangefinder display) Tap
the "Solution" icon and select "Targets" (just above the current Profile name) to enter the distance to your intended
target(s) in yards (Fig. 12) by tapping the orange number (under "RNG") for any of 5 different targets. Enter the distance
with the pop-up number keypad, then tap the checkmark (bottom right corner) to confirm the range.
8. (Optional-see note for previous step) Tap "Range Card" (Fig. 13) and then tap "Range Card Settings" (Fig. 14). Tap the
Min Distance (number) repeatedly to cycle through and set the closest target's distance (units are yards unless you've
changed it to Meters in "User Settings" mentioned earlier). Tap the Distance Increments
(number) to cycle through and set the spacing between multiple targets (if that applies
to your range). Tap "X" when finished to return to the main Range Card screen, which will
update per any changes in the Range Card Settings. You can email your custom Range Card
data by tapping "Export Range Card".
9. (Optional-see note for previous step) Tap "Reticle" for a detailed look at the reticle in your scope (including corresponding
ranges based on your target and range card info if your reticle includes bullet drop/holdover reference markings)
(Fig. 15). Note: selecting a Bushnell riflescope model within the app will automatically select
MOA or Mil units based on that scope's reticle. However, your Nitro rangefinder may be set
to different units. The Nitro will automatically convert data received from the app from MOA
to Mil or vice versa. If the compensated range numbers on the Nitro display and on the app
are diferent, check to make sure you have both app and Nitro set to matching units (MOA or
Mil), using the Setup Menu in the Nitro.
10. After you've finished entering all relevant data into the Ballistic app, tap the name of the current Profile (lower center of
screen, above "Gun & Bullet"). The data stored in the current "Active Profile" (Fig. 16) is the one which will be uploaded
to the Nitro (tap the name of a different, previously used profile if you wish to upload it instead). Make sure your Nitro
rangefinder is powered on (press the Fire button) and has its mode set to "AbU" (see photo, top right). In the app,
tap "Profile", then "Bluetooth" to search for compatible devices, then tap to select the Nitro w/serial number you wish
to connect with when it appears (Fig. 17). The app will activate Bluetooth on the Nitro (Bluetooth icon is seen in the
display, as shown in top right photo) and send it a 2-digit PIN code which will be shown in the rangefinder's display
after a short time (see photo, lower right). Enter this PIN# in the app to complete the connection (Fig. 18) (app confirms
your Nitro is connected at bottom of screen-see Fig. 19) and transmit your current Profile's data to the Nitro.
11. After changing any parameter in the app, click "DONE" and the updated data will be sent to the Nitro (if still connected,
or next time it is paired with the app). When ranging with the connected Nitro, its distance readings will be sent
to the app and can be seen in the Solution screens (Reticle, Targets, Range Card) (Fig. 19). Note: After the initial
Bluetooth pairing, the Nitro will automatically connect again anytime the rangefinder is powered on while the app is
open. However, If you last connected the app with a Kestrel or other external device, you may need to pair the app and
Nitro again before using them together.
12. To connect the Nitro to a compatible external hardware device (rather than the Ballistics app), first make sure the Nitro
is set to AbE mode (enter Setup Menu, then press Mode until "AbE" is displayed). Power the Nitro on by pressing Fire/
Power. See the owner's manual for your device for details regarding its Bluetooth pairing procedure. Note: for some
compatible devices, such as various Kestrel models, you will need to make sure your preferred units (yards/ meters,
moa/mil,mph/kph, etc) are set up identically on both the external device and the Nitro to ensure they match. Most
devices only transmit "raw data" (numbers) and will not automatically set the units on the Nitro display to be the same
(these assume you are using same units on all your products).
