ATTACHING THE CARRYING STRAP AND THE PROTECTIVE CAPS
The carrying strap (Fig. 4/15) and the eyepiece cap (Fig. 4/16) are
attached as shown in the illustrations. Note: Feed the carrying strap only
once through the eyelet on the eyepiece cap. Depending on personal
preference, use the carrying strap to connect the eyepiece cap either on
both sides or on one side only. The eyepiece cap is held onto the eyecups by
a catch. Before using the binoculars, remove the eyepiece cap with the index
nger. After observation, replace the eyepiece cap in order to protect the
eyepieces. The protective lens covers (Fig. 5/17) are tted on the binoculars
as shown.
OBSERVATION WITH AND WITHOUT EYEGLASSES
When observing without glasses, use the equipment with the eyecup
extended. To do this, rotate the eyecup (Fig. 6/1) counterclockwise until
it locks in the highest position. The eyecup can be set in four positions –
in the upper and lower settings, plus in two intermediate positions. This
adjustment option allows variation of the distance from the eye to the exit
pupil and thus individual adjustment for each user. When observing with
glasses, rotate the eyecup clockwise until it stops in the most downward
position (Fig. 6).
CLEANING AND REPLACING THE EYECUPS
For cleaning purposes, the eyecups can be removed. To do so, turn the
eyecups counterclockwise past the uppermost set position, and continue to
turn until the eyecup is loosened for removal.
After proper cleaning of the eyecup and lenses, ensure there is no debris
(e.g., sand, dirt, or grime) on the threads of the eyecup housing and ocular
housing. Replace the eyecups by turning them onto the ocular housing in a
clockwise direction. Be careful not to cross-thread the ne threads. Continue
to turn in a clockwise direction to the lowest setting position, and apply
a small amount of additional torque to secure the eyecup to the ocular
housing. The eyecups are ready for regular adjustments at this time.
4 | 7 EN
Adjusting the interpupilary distance
By folding the halves of the binoculars about the central axis, the eye relief can
be adjusted such that a circular image is formed when observing with both eyes
(Fig. 7).
Note: Depending on the set of the interpupilary distance, the aiming mark and
display may be slightly angled.
Focusing the aiming mark and diopter compensation
Use the range finder button (Fig. 1/6) to switch on the aiming mark (Fig. 2/9) and
hold down the button. Focus the aiming mark and the display by turning the right
hand diopter compensation (Fig. 1/4) to the left or the right. Then carefully use
the central focusing (Fig. 1/2) for sharp focusing of the image in the right hand
binocular tube.
Next, use the left hand diopter compensation (Fig. 1/3) for sharp focusing on the
same object of the image in the left hand binocular tube. The values that are set can
be read from the “+” or “–” scale on the back of the binoculars.
Menu settings in the rangefinder
Press the SET button for approx. two seconds to load the menu of your ZEISS Victory
RF. You can then switch between the individual menu options by pressing the SET

Observation with and without glasses
When observing without glasses, use the equipment with the eye cup extended.
To do this, turn the eye cup (Fig. 6/1) upwards and to the left (anticlockwise) until it
locks in the highest position.
The eye cup can be locked in four positions – in the upper and lower plus in two
intermediate positions. This adjustment option allows variation of the distance from
the eye to the exit pupil and thus individual adjustment for each user.
When observing with glasses, turn the eye cup downwards and to the right
(clockwise) until it locks in the lowest position (Fig. 6).
Cleaning and replacing the eyecups
To replace the eyecups or for cleaning, they can be completely screwed off of the
binoculars. Turn the eyecups out as shown in Fig. 6 to the top click stop position
and turn one more thread in the same direction until the eyecup is completely
screwed out.
After cleaning, or replacing the eyecup, turn it to the right (clockwise) completely on
the eyepiece. Using a slight jerk to the right the thread of the eyepiece clicks into the
lowest setting. Finally, you can again set your desired distance between the eye and
eyepiece using the click stops.

Observation with and without glasses
When observing without glasses, use the equipment with the eye cup extended.
To do this, turn the eye cup (Fig. 6/1) upwards and to the left (anticlockwise) until it
locks in the highest position.
The eye cup can be locked in four positions – in the upper and lower plus in two
intermediate positions. This adjustment option allows variation of the distance from
the eye to the exit pupil and thus individual adjustment for each user.
When observing with glasses, turn the eye cup downwards and to the right
(clockwise) until it locks in the lowest position (Fig. 6).
Cleaning and replacing the eyecups
To replace the eyecups or for cleaning, they can be completely screwed off of the
binoculars. Turn the eyecups out as shown in Fig. 6 to the top click stop position
and turn one more thread in the same direction until the eyecup is completely
screwed out.
After cleaning, or replacing the eyecup, turn it to the right (clockwise) completely on
the eyepiece. Using a slight jerk to the right the thread of the eyepiece clicks into the
lowest setting. Finally, you can again set your desired distance between the eye and
eyepiece using the click stops.

Observation with and without glasses
When observing without glasses, use the equipment with the eye cup extended.
To do this, turn the eye cup (Fig. 6/1) upwards and to the left (anticlockwise) until it
locks in the highest position.
The eye cup can be locked in four positions – in the upper and lower plus in two
intermediate positions. This adjustment option allows variation of the distance from
the eye to the exit pupil and thus individual adjustment for each user.
When observing with glasses, turn the eye cup downwards and to the right
(clockwise) until it locks in the lowest position (Fig. 6).
Cleaning and replacing the eyecups
To replace the eyecups or for cleaning, they can be completely screwed off of the
binoculars. Turn the eyecups out as shown in Fig. 6 to the top click stop position
and turn one more thread in the same direction until the eyecup is completely
screwed out.
After cleaning, or replacing the eyecup, turn it to the right (clockwise) completely on
the eyepiece. Using a slight jerk to the right the thread of the eyepiece clicks into the
lowest setting. Finally, you can again set your desired distance between the eye and
eyepiece using the click stops.
ADJUSTING THE BINOCULAR FOR APPROPRIATE FIT BETWEEN THE
USER’S PUPILS
By folding the halves of the binocular via the hinge, the user may adjust
the interpupillary distance such that a single circular image is formed when
observing with both eyes (Fig. 7).
Note: Depending on the user’s setting of the interpupillary distance, the
aiming mark and display may be displayed slightly at an angle in the eld
of view.
FOCUSING THE AIMING MARK AND DIOPTER COMPENSATION
From the user’s position, use the rangender button (Fig. 1/6) to switch
on the aiming mark (Fig. 2/9) and hold down the button. Focus the aiming
mark and the display by turning the right-hand diopter compensation (Fig.
1/4) to the left or the right. Then carefully use the central focus wheel (Fig.
1/2) for sharp focusing of the image in the right-hand binocular tube.
Next, use the left-hand diopter compensation (Fig. 1/3) for sharp focusing
on the same object of the image in the left binocular tube. The values that
are set can be read from the “+” or “–” scale on the back of the binoculars.

BALLISTIC SETTINGS (B.I.S. II)
At this stage, you can upload up to nine personalized/customized ballistic
curves to your ZEISS Victory RF. In your ZEISS Victory RF, the curves are labeled
bAu 1 – bAu 9. (More information can be found in the “Settings With the
ZEISS Hunting App“ section.) In addition to customization, the Victory RF also
incorporates nine default ballistic curves, as explained below.
If you prefer, you can select from the nine default ballistic curves in Menu 2.
As an option, you can choose between these default curves, which cover
many European/International cartridge ballistics. In order to access the default
curves in Menu 2, press the SET button for 2 seconds and press the SET button
once. The default ballistic curves are numbered consecutively in the ZEISS
Victory RF, and they are labeled bA 1 – bA 9. Choose the most appropriate
bullet trajectory, dependent upon the bullet’s caliber and weight used. Your
knowledge of the ballistic data of the load used is a prerequisite for selecting
and matching the corresponding bullet trajectory.
In Table 2, on the basis of the bullet drop of the load, select the row with the
value that corresponds most precisely with your selected ammunition/load. By
pressing the range-nding button (Fig. 1/6), you can select the appropriate
ballistic curve. By releasing the button, you save the ballistic curve. To check,
you can always display the saved settings in the menu.
To select, release the range-nding button (Fig. 1/6) on the appropriate
bAu setting for your chosen prole/curve. The ballistic curve displayed most
recently is then saved. To check, you can always display the saved settings in
the menu.
Caution: Please note that the Ballistic Information System (B.I.S. II) is not to
be used as a replacement for the hunter’s/shooter’s assessment of the actual
shooting environment, but rather to support and increase safe shooting. ZEISS
recommends shooting exercises from dierent ranges, which can be used to
check the correct match of the specications with the actual points of impact
(also referred to as trajectory validation).

DISPLAY SETTINGS
Display settings allow you to reference the data being displayed while
reading the rangender’s output. The output function is displayed in the
form of distance, equivalent horizontal distance, angle, and/or holdover – or
some combination thereof, as selected by the user. (See Table 3)
Holdover can be displayed in the following units of measure: centimeters
(cm), inches (in), minute of angle (MOA), milliradian (MIL), and clicks. Clicks
reference the riescope’s elevation turret adjustment value per click.
You can select the appropriate display settings in Menu 3. You may
choose between seven dierent display settings, which are labeled
consecutively dl 1 – dl 7 (press the SET button for 2 seconds + press
the SET button twice).

dl 7 Distance & number of clicks
In addition to the seven standard settings, you can add three more
personalized display settings to your ZEISS Victory RF. On your ZEISS Victory
RF, the curves are labeled dIu 1 – dIu3.
NOTE the dierence between dl and dlu.
dl = Rangender’s default display settings
dlu = Rangender’s user-dened display settings
(Further information can be found in the “Settings With the ZEISS Hunting
App“ section.)
Simply release the range-nding button (Fig. 1/6) on the appropriate
setting for you. The last display setting shown will then be saved. To check,
you can always display the saved settings in the menu.
UNIT (Selecting the unit of measure between meters or yards)
Choose the appropriate unit in Menu 4 (See Table 1; press the SET button
for 2 seconds + press the SET button three times).
The distance can be measured in either meters or yards. You can change the
settings with the range-nding button (Fig. 1/6). On your ZEISS Victory RF,
the units have the indicators unit M(for meters) and unit Y(for yards). To
check, you can always display the saved settings in the menu.
MEASURING MODE
This mode allows the user to select the preferred target to range, taking
multiple targets within the laser’s path into appropriate consideration. In
turn, this should allow for better data output based on the user’s preference.
You can select the preferred measuring mode in Menu 5 (See Table 1;
press the SET button for 2 seconds + press the SET button four times). You
can select whether you are shown the best measurement (tA b) or the
furthest measurement (tA L). You can change the settings with the range-
nding button (Fig. 1/6).
NOTE the dierence between tA b and tA L.
tA b = Rangender’s best measurement
tA L = Rangender’s furthest measurement
Fig. 9 is used to illustrate the options. The animal in the background is, in
this case, the furthest measured point (tA L). Since a higher proportion of
the laser’s measuring points encounter the tree in the foreground, this point
is equivalent to the best measurement (tA b). To check, you can always
display the saved settings in the menu.
KEY LAYOUT (Control button conguration)
The user can congure/reverse the two control buttons, one referred to as
the RANGE button and the other referred to as the SET button (See Fig.
1/6 and 1/7). This reconguration would allow the user to operate the
rangender in their preferred layout for the intended eld application (e.g.,
left- or right-hand preference and/or single-handed bow hunting scenario).
You can select the most appropriate button conguration for yourself in
Menu 6 (See Table 1; press the SET button for 2 seconds + press the SET
button ve times). By pressing the range-nding button (Fig. 1/6), you
can choose between the standard setting, displayed as („5 _ _ °“), or the
reverse setting, displayed as („° _ _ 5“).
NOTE: The ZEISS Victory RF control button default setting is congured for
right-handed users. In this setting, the RANGE button is operated with the
right hand and the SET button is operated with the left hand. To check, you
can always display the saved settings in the menu.

Ballistics Settings (BIS II)
You can select the appropriate ballistics curve in menu 2 (press the SET button for 2
seconds + press the SET button once). As standard, you can choose between nine
different ballistics curves, which cover almost all calibres. The ballistics curves are
numbered consecutively in your ZEISS Victory RF and are labelled bA 1 – bA 9.
Choose the most appropriate bullet trajectory dependant on the calibre, bullet type
and bullet weight used. Knowledge of the ballistic data (bullet drop) for the load
used is a prerequisite for selecting the corresponding bullet trajectory.
In table 1 (below), on the basis of the bullet drop of the load, select the row with
the value that corresponds most precisely. By pressing the range finding button
(Fig. 1/6), you can simply select the appropriate ballistics curve for you. By releasing
the button, the ballistics curve is saved. To check, you can always display the saved
settings in the menu.
In addition to the 9 default curves, you can upload up to 9 additional personalised
ballistics curves to your ZEISS Victory RF. In your ZEISS Victory RF, the curves are
labelled bAu 1 – bAu 9.
(More information can be found in the „Settings with the ZEISS Hunting App“
section).
Simply release the range finding button (Fig. 1/6) on the appropriate setting for
you. The ballistics curve displayed most recently is then saved. To check, you can

seconds.
Adjustment with the ZEISS Hunting APP
With the ZEISS Hunting App, you have the option of carrying out all the adjustments
mentioned above with your smartphone, in a simple and user-friendly way.
You also have the option of making two further, personalised adjustments. Firstly,
you can enter your own ballistics profile, created in the ZEISS Hunting App, and you
can also set up to three different displays in the display settings.
ESTABLISHING A CONNECTION BETWEEN
THE ZEISS HUNTING APP AND ZEISS VICTORY RF
Initial Connection
When you first want to connect your ZEISS Victory RF, „Connect Your ZEISS Product“
will appear on the screen in the Connected Products section (Fig. 10). By clicking
the Connect Button once, your ZEISS Hunting App begins connection set-up.
As described in Fig. 11, you must then hold the SET button down for only
10seconds.
Then, the word „CON_“ appears on your ZEISS Victory RF. After you release the SET
button, the word „PAIr“ appears on the display and you confirm this by pressing the
measuring button once.
Now your ZEISS Victory RF is connected with your ZEISS Hunting App as shown in
Fig. 12. You only need to confirm the „PAIr“ for your first connection.
Repeated Connection
After you have initially connected your ZEISS Victory RF with your ZEISS Hunting
App, the Start screen changes the Connected Product Section, as shown in Fig. 13.
Above the (+) button on the bottom right, you can connect ZEISS Victory RF with
your ZEISS Hunting App again. Furthermore, by simply clicking on the stored ZEISS
Victory RF you can make adjustments on your device (Fig. 14) and then sync these.
MAKING ADJUSTMENTS
Ballistics Settings
In the ballistics settings (Fig. 15) in your ZEISS Hunting App, as well as selecting
the nine standard profiles, you also have the option of adding up to nine more
personalised profiles and subsequently syncing with your ZEISS Victory RF. To add
a personalised profile, click on the button „Add Profile“ in the ballistics menu. Then
you can select all previously created ballistics profiles (you can create these in the
„Ballistics“ section of the Toolbox) (Fig. 16).
You also have the option of setting one of your profiles as a „favourite“. The
favourite is the setting that is active on your ZEISS Victory RF and is indicated by a
blue star.
In the ZEISS Hunting App display settings (Fig. 17), as well as the choice of the seven
standard profiles, you have the option of adding up to three more personal profiles
and subsequently syncing them with your ZEISS Victory RF. To add a personal profile,
click on the button „Add Configuration“ in the ballistics menu. Unlike the standard
profiles (Fig.18), you can combine up to three display modes in your personal
profiles. Here, the distance is always set as the first display mode.
You also have the option to save one of your configurations as a „favourite“. The
favourite is the setting that is active on your ZEISS Victory RF and is indicated with a
blue star.

VICTORY RF OWNER’S MANUAL - NORTH AMERICA | 1918 | VICTORY RF OWNER’S MANUAL - NORTH AMERICA For the latest updates and information regarding our products, visit zeiss.com/us/sportsoptics.
HOW TO INPUT YOUR BALLISTIC PROFILE(S)
1. From the ZHA Dashboard, go into the “Ballistics” menu. Locate
the blue-colored + button at the lower right-hand corner of the window,
and press it. (Fig. 12)
2. Input the riescope data, whether it is a ZEISS product or another brand.
Use the drop-down menu to select your ZEISS riescope model, or slide
the ZEISS Riescope button to the “o” position if you are not using a
ZEISS riescope.
3. Next, input the scope height above bore. This is a simple measurement,
and it is obtained by taking the measurement from the center of the
barrel’s bore to the center of the riescope’s main tube. (This helps to
ensure the utmost in accuracy of provided ballistic solutions.)
4. The default distance for the riescope’s sight-in zero is 100 yards.
ZEISS recommends this setting; however, you may select and input
another zero distance for your needs.
5. Next, choose the value setting of your riescope’s click adjustment values
(example: 1/4 MOA or 0.1 MIL).
6. Next, input the appropriate data for your ammunition. You can select
factory loads (over 7,000 options) or input your custom handload data.
The input data here is rather important. Ammunition brand, caliber, bullet
weight and muzzle velocity data are needed for input.
NOTE: ZEISS strongly suggests the validation of muzzle velocity via a quality
chronograph. (Muzzle velocity listed on some ammunition is for a specic
barrel length within a controlled environment and does not factor in the
many variables that are associated with obtaining true muzzle velocity
through your rie.)
3. Once the ZEISS Hunting App is downloaded, you will need to pair the
mobile device to the ZEISS Victory RF model.
a. Ensure your mobile device’s battery is charged or the device is
plugged in to the power outlet. Now ensure your Bluetooth setting is
switched to the “on” position.
b. Next, launch the ZEISS Hunting App (ZHA). Then go to the Dashboard
menu and select the “Connected Products” tab (Fig. 10).
c. Press the “Connect” button on the device, and then press the
“SET” button on the VRF. Continue pressing the “SET” button
while looking through the right-side barrel of the VRF until you see
the letters “con” for connect. (If you are having trouble reading
the letters clearly, please revert back to page 10 in order to
set your diopter settings for a clean and crisp image.)
d. Once “con” has appeared in the view, press the “RANGE” button
(indicated as an arrow on the VRF models) on the VRF, and this will
pair the VRF to the ZHA. (Fig. 11)
e. Once the pairing is completed, you may input up to nine customized
ballistic proles. (The ZHA is not needed to use the VRF in the eld.)
This ensures precise and on-target accuracy for multiple ries and
ammunition loads in the eld.

NOTE: The all-new ZEISS Victory RF Bluetooth-enabled binocular laser
rangenders will provide you with an exceptional binocular, state-of-the-art
Class I laser rangender, and immediate ballistic solutions out to 2,500
yards. The VRF features on-board sensors to measure distance, angle,
pressure and temperature in order to produce accurate data output.
Please keep in mind that the variable of wind remains the all-time enemy of
making accurate long-range and ultra-long-range shots. ALWAYS consider
wind variables when taking and making shots on live game. In regard to
hunting, when in doubt, don’t take the shot.

STOP: When cleaning your RF, PLEASE ENSURE THAT THE VRF’S LENS
COVERS ARE IN PLACE FIRST. These types of cleaning solvents can and will
destroy the ne and precision multi-layer lens coatings.
Cleaning Your Lenses
ZEISS recommends using original ZEISS branded lens cleaning solutions,
supplies and complete cleaning kits to care for the lenses on your VRF.
First, permit heavy or large debris on the lens surfaces to fall away from the
surface. Try to carefully remove loose dirt and dust with a lens brush.
STOP: Do NOT use the types of compressed air cans found typically in the oce
supply section of various retail outlets. When used improperly, they can destroy
lens coatings, causing the coatings to peel away or blister from the lens surface.
Ensure your ZEISS Victory RF is NOT exposed to extreme heat over
prolonged periods of time, such as those elevated temperatures
sometimes found inside of a vehicle on a sunny day.
Your ZEISS VRF is designed and manufactured to give you many years of reliable
and long-term service. One of the best ways to protect your optical investment
is to be sure to use appropriate lens covers when you are not using your VRF.
To further protect your VRF, ZEISS strongly suggests you keep the product clean
and free of troublesome sand, dirt, salt water and various contaminants.
Cleaning Your ZEISS VRF’s Exterior
For a heavily soiled VRF, you can rinse the VRF under a stream of cool or warm
water, and then wipe it down with a water-moistened towel. Do not use strong
solvents to clean your VRF or its optics. Using such solvents will void the ZEISS
warranty. (Refer to page 9 for additional help/instructions.)

You can also remove stubborn grit and other contaminants by gently ushing
the surface with distilled water. With these larger contaminants removed, you
can now gently swab the lenses clean by following the respective lens cleaning
instructions.
ZEISS strongly suggests using a clean, lint-free, pre-moistened microber
cleaning cloth or appropriate lens swab and an appropriate lens cleaning
solution. Starting in the center of the lens, begin swabbing in a circular motion,
working toward the outside. Once you reach the outer diameter of the lens you
are cleaning, use a new swab or another portion of the microber cloth to avoid
streaking the lenses with contaminants and grease frequently located where the
lens comes in contact with the metal lens housing. Make only one pass to the
edge where the glass meets the metal. Repeat this process as necessary until
desired results are achieved. TIP: Use only a small amount of cleaning solution
for the nal lens swabbing to prevent streaks.
Long-Term Storage
ZEISS suggests you remove the battery if the VRF will not be used for a
prolonged period of time. Store the VRF in a cool, dry, clean and contaminant-
free location.
