How-To Setup the Vortex® Razor® HD 4000 GB Ballistic Laser Rangefinder
If you are a hunting enthusiast, you understand the importance of an accurate rangefinder when taking that crucial shot. Furthermore, if you are an experienced hunter, you know that the environment, weather, and distance all play vital roles in hitting your target. Using a rangefinder that offers more than just distance measurement significantly enhances your hunting experience. This is where the Vortex® Razor® HD 4000 GB Ballistic Laser Rangefinder comes in.
The Razor® HD 4000 GB Ballistic Laser Rangefinder combines long-distance ranging, in-display ballistic solutions, environmental sensors, and two wind modes. The device provides hunters with custom ballistic solutions whether you are a beginner or an experienced shooter. Notably, this rangefinder comes with a GeoBallistics® app that allows the shooter to customize their settings and calibrations to fit the needs of their specific rifle. In this article, we will guide you through the process of setting up the Vortex® Razor® HD 4000 GB Ballistic Laser Rangefinder.
Introduction to the Vortex® Razor® HD 4000 GB Ballistic Laser Rangefinder
The Razor® HD 4000 GB Ballistic Laser Rangefinder combines four primary features that make it an excellent hunting tool. Firstly, the long-range laser rangefinder is capable of providing accurate distance measurements at distances of up to 4000 yards. Secondly, the rangefinder offers the shooter in-display ballistic solutions, which provide critical information such as holdover, windage, and wind drift.
Thirdly, the device comes with environmental sensors that offer real-time weather information such as temperature, humidity, and pressure. Lastly, the rangefinder comes with two wind modes that allow the user to input the wind direction and speed to provide an accurate ballistic solution.
Customized Options for Real-Time Ballistic Solutions
The Vortex® Razor® HD 4000 GB Ballistic Laser Rangefinder comes with four specific modes for real-time ballistic solutions. Normal Mode provides all the necessary settings for distances up to 800 yards. The First Mode provides ballistic solutions only on the first target in the line of sight when the user is ranging multiple targets.
Conversely, the Last Mode provides ballistic solutions only on the last target in the line of sight when ranging multiple targets. Finally, the Extreme Long Range Mode (ELR) provides ballistic solutions based on distances of 800 to 4000 yards.
Additionally, the rangefinder allows the shooter to customize their settings by choosing either yards or meters. Customizing the menu settings requires holding down the menu button for four seconds and toggling through the available settings.
Pairing Razor® GB to a Smartphone
Pairing the Vortex® Razor® GB to a smartphone requires switching to Bal mode, changing auto shutoff to 180 seconds, and toggling Bluetooth on. The GeoBallistics® app is necessary to utilize the device fully. The app allows for all setting changes, calibrations, building firearm profiles, building maps, and range cards.
To pair Razor® GB to the GeoBallistics® app, select the OpenGL ES 3.1 button, look through the Rangefinder and make sure the display is on. Next, select Razer GB by referencing the last four digits of the serial number at the bottom of the Rangefinder, and tap on it.
Calibration and Auto Shutoff Settings
Calibration is essential for accuracy and occurs outside and away from large metal structures. For accuracy, calibration must occur during initial setup and every time the location significantly changes, typically 30 miles or more.
Auto shutoff settings range between 30 seconds to 180 seconds, depending on the user’s preference. To begin calibration, select the Calibrate button under the Razer HD 4000 GB Compass section.
App Settings Menu
While in the app settings menu, one can change app preferences, ballistic preferences, mobile sensors, chart increments, distance units, rifle profile units, and weather units. The app preference section allows one to utilize Auto locate or manually enter latitude.
The ballistic preferences section allows for specific correction factors in the ballistic solution. These factors account for spin drift, Coriolis effect, or crosswind jump. Spindrift is a bullet’s drift left or right due to the Earth’s rotation. The Razor GB provides inclination angle, target direction, range, wind, or weather data to the app’s onboard solver.
Connecting with Vortex Optics
Connecting with Vortex Optics is essential for updated information. This can be achieved by selecting the Vortex Optics button and tapping on the link icon.
Conclusion
Setting up the Vortex® Razor® HD 4000 GB Ballistic Laser Rangefinder is straightforward. The device comes equipped with customized options, environmental sensors, and an in-display ballistic solution. Pairing the Razor® GB to a smartphone requires switching to Bal mode, changing auto shutoff to 180 seconds, and toggling Bluetooth on. Furthermore, calibration and auto shutoff settings are necessary for accuracy and can be accessed through the app settings menu. Lastly, connecting with Vortex Optics provides updated information and enhances your hunting experience.
