HOW THE RXB-IV WORKS

The RXB-IV is a top-quality 9x32mm binocular that incorporates

the additional benefit of a state-of-the-art laser range finder

capable of instantaneously and accurately measuring the distance

of a deer-sized animal from 10 yards to 700 yards (9 meters to

640 meters), an inanimate object from 10 yards to 800 yards

(9 meters to 732 meters), and a reflective target from 10 yards to

1,500 yards (9 meters to 1,372 meters). It emits a series of invisible,

infrared energy pulses that are reflected off the selected target

back to the optical unit. State-of-the-art circuitry and precision

computing circuits are used to calculate the distance instantaneously

by measuring the time it takes for each pulse to travel from the

RXB-IV to the object and back.

SETTING THE FOCUS

The RXB-IV uses an independent focus design; therefore each eyepiece

is focused independently of the other. To set the focus for the unit:

View an object at 200 or more yards (183 or more meters) away.

2. Cover the right objective lens.

3. Focus the image you see with your left eye using the left

eyepiece.

Uncover the right objective lens and cover the left objective lens.

5. Focus the image you see with your right eye using the right

eyepiece.

6. The RXB-IV is now focused clearly for most distances.

READING THE INTERNAL DISPLAY

The Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) designed into the optical

path can be manually switched between ranging modes, as measured

in meters (M) or yards (YD), or used to obtain distance readouts

while simultaneously viewing the target. (The RXB-IV can also

simply be used as a 9x binocular without activating the OLED.)

• The direction of the target in a 360° compass direction (0° representing North, 180° representing South, etc.)

– LOS readout indicates one of the following:

• The line-of-sight distance to the target in either yards (YD) or meters (M); this does not account for the angle or ballistics

• Calibration and declination adjustment mode

BATTERY POWER STATUS INDICATOR

To determine your battery’s power level, look for the following indicators:

FULL – A full battery bar indicates your battery is at or near peak capacity.

HALF – A half-full bar indicates your battery has reached half-capacity.

LOW – If the battery bar is empty, yet there is still data displayed above the bar, the battery is low, and nearing the end of its life.

NO POWER – If the battery bar is empty, and there is NO data display shown above the bar, your battery is dead and you must replace it. The battery status bar will flash and the unit will shut down when no power remains.

CLEARING THE LAST DISTANCE OBTAINED:

The last range reading taken, does not need to be cleared before

reading another object’s distance. For that reason, there is no reset

button. Simply aim at the new object using the reticle, depress the

POWER button and hold until the new range reading is displayed.

Operation

When you initially push and hold the POWER button, for more

than one (1) second, the unit is ready for scanning. Pressing and

releasing the MODE button begins navigation of the menu.

To set or activate a function, you must advance the mode selector

by pressing the MODE button until that function is flashing. To

activate or deactivate that function, press the POWER button.

When a function is activated, the icon and the word “ON” will be

displayed. When a function is deactivated, the icon will disappear

FUNCTION 1: TRUE BALLISTIC RANGE

TBR calculates the equivalent horizontal

range (level fire range) from which

you can determine the correct aim

for the conditions. For example,

if you are shooting a .270 caliber,

130 grain (8.4 grams) bullet at 3,050 feet

(930 meters) per second up a 30° incline at 400 yards (366 meters),

direct line of sight, the TBR output will be 364 yards (333 meters).

State-of-the-art processing algorithms, developed by the same

engineers who developed Sierra Infinity© Exterior Ballistics Software

and who developed ballistics algorithms for many space vehicles

over the last 40 years, determine the True Ballistic Range with

incredible accuracy, eliminating potential errors that could cause

you to miscalculate your aiming point. The first step in correctly

using TBR is to Practice, Practice, Practice. Anytime you handle a

firearm or bow, you are ultimately responsible for your projectile.

The inclinometer output is shown in the lower portion of the display,

just right of the battery power status indicator.

For rifle users, adjustment or holdover

information can also be displayed. The

available settings are as follows: MOA

displays the minute of angle correction,

HOLD displays the inches or centimeters

to holdover the intended point of impact,

and BAS outputs the equivalent range to

use with Leupold’s Ballistics Aiming System

reticles or equivalent

For rifle users, TBR mode is comprised of three functions: Hold,

MOA, and BAS. One of these modes must be selected. To select

the desired function, activate TBR, then proceed through the

menu (by pressing the MODE button), past the BOW and Compass

functions, until the appropriate TBR function is flashing; use the

POWER button to activate the appropriate TBR function.

For information regarding BOW settings, please see page 5.

BAS (displayed as bAS) displays the equivalent

horizontal range. This is the range you

will want to use when shooting, rather

than the line of sight distance, which

may contain gross errors depending

upon the shot angle. Returns will be

displayed with equivalent horizontal range.

HOLD (displayed as HOLd) will display your

holdover for that target at that distance,

which is based upon the ballistics group

and sight-in distance you will choose in

a later mode. The upper digits display

holdover in inches if yards is the chosen

measurement output. Centimeters will

be displayed if meters is chosen for your

measurement output. Your hold will be

shown as “HI 999” or “LO 999”.

MOA Mode will show the minute of

angle adjustment for your target,

accounting for the True Ballistic Range.

The upper display will show MOA

adjustment as “UP 999” and “dn 999”.

SEVEN RIFLE BALLISTICS GROUPS

TBR includes ballistics settings for seven

cartridge groups specifically formulated

for the three functions of TBR, which

are displayed as A, B, C, AB, AC, BC,

and ABC. For example, if your cartridge

group is in Group A, the return in Function 1

will account for the shot angle and provide the proper distance for

holdover purposes (see Cartridge Table on page 4). You must choose

one of

the seven groups, based on your cartridge and ballistics

information.

Check the ballistics performance of your load by consulting your reloading manual, ballistics software, or by referring to literature or Web sites provided by your cartridge manufacturer. You may also visit the Leupold Web site at www.leupold.com for more assistance in selecting your group. If you have your ballistics performance data, select your performance group from the table on the next page based on the bullet path at 500 yards (457 meters). Be sure not to confuse bullet path with bullet drop. Bullet path will be related back to your sight-in range whereas bullet drop relates only to the total drop of the bullet, regardless of sight-in range.

REMEMBER: Knowing your theoretical bullet path at long ranges

does not provide a license to take shots beyond ranges at which you have practiced, particularly at game animals or where stray shots could hit unintended targets. It is your responsibility to have intimate familiarity with the performance of your firearm and take full responsibility for the projectile. The RXB-IV digital laser range finding binoculars may serve best as a tool for learning performance during practice at a secure range so you are ready for that critical shot.

This mode, when activated, works with TBR to provide the correct ballistics range for arrows. Selecting the BOW mode automatically deactivates the rifle mode. The displayed range incorporates three different ballistics groups (Group A, B, or C) depending on the particular arrow drop. You must choose one of the three groups, based on your bow and arrow selection. Only one group can be selected at a time. Selecting a new group deactivates all other groups. Most importantly, using TBR effectively means to Practice, Practice, Practice. Anytime you handle a bow, you are ultimately responsible for your projectile.

For best results, measure the drop of your arrow at 40 yards (37 meters) when using your 20 yard (18 meter) aiming point.

1. Set up a small target point such as a two-inch (5.1 cm) circle of paper high on a large, safe background, such as a stack of bales backed by a solid backstop. Be sure to allow for three feet or more of drop to avoid arrow damage.

2. Shoot 2 or 3 arrows at the target from 40 yards (37 meters), using your 20 yard (18 meter) pin on the small target.

3. Measure the distance from the small target to the center of the group of arrows.

4. Select your TBR bow group from the “Drop from 20 yard (18 meter) pin at 40 yards (37 meters)” column in the

“BOW Group Data” chart shown above.

Initial velocity should only be used if an arrow speed chronograph measurement has been obtained. Manufacturer’s published data such as IBO speed is based on standard draw length and weight that is likely to vary with your bow, therefore the actual performance may not be the same.

The RXB-IV can be used to measure distances in yards or meters. The unit of measurement indicator is located near the lower right portion of the OLED. To select between yards and meters, look through the binoculars, depress the MODE button and hold it down for approximately 2 seconds. If you are changing from yards to meters, a change in unit of measure will be indicated by the illumination of the METER indicator while the YARD indicator is turned off. If you are changing from meters to yards, the opposite will occur.

NOTE: The RXB-IV will return to the last setting used each time

the unit is turned on.

2. Twist the handle counterclockwise by one quarter of a turn.

3. Pull the handle away from the RXB-IV and the battery chamber cover will open.

4. Remove the old battery.

5. Insert the new battery (positive “+” end down).

6. Replace the battery chamber cover, paying attention to align the lugs of the cover with those inside the chamber.

7. Twist the handle clockwise by one quarter of a turn to lock the cover into place.

8. Fold the handle back down to keep it out of the way.

NOTE: Batteries should be removed when exhausted or when the

RXB-IV will not be used for more than 10 days.

CLEANING THE LENSES: When removing dust on the lens surface, use a soft oil-free brush. When removing stains or smudges like fingerprints from the lens

DISTANCE READING CANNOT BE OBTAINED:

• Make sure that the POWER button is being depressed (as opposed to MODE button)

• Make sure that nothing, such as your hand or finger, is blocking the objective lenses — as this could interfere with the emission and reception of the laser pulses

•

Make sure unit is held steadily while depressing the POWER button

• When using BOW mode, it is important to note that TBR returns are limited to 60 yards (55 meters); returns greater than 60 yards (55 meters) will be displayed in the LOS display

surface, wipe the lenses very gently with a soft, clean cotton cloth or quality, oil-free lens tissue. Use a small quantity of pure alcohol (not denatured) to wipe stubborn smudges. Do not use velvet cloth or ordinary tissue, as it may scratch the lens surface. Once the cloth has been used for cleaning the body, it should not be used again for the lens surface.

CLEANING THE MAIN BODY:
