DISPLAY SETTINGS

Display settings allow you to reference the data being displayed while 

reading the rangefinder’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 riflescope’s elevation turret adjustment value per click.

You can select the appropriate display settings in Menu 3. You may  

choose between seven different display settings, which are labeled 

consecutively 

dl 1 – dl 7 

(press the SET button for 2 s press 

 

the SET button twice).

In addition to the seven standard settings, you can add three more

RF, the curves are labeled

.

the difference between

 and

dl

 = Rangefinder’s default display settings

 = Rangefinder’s user-defined display settings

(Further 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 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 s press the SET button three times).

The distance can be measured in either meters or yards. You can change the 

settings with the range-finding 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 s 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- 

finding button

 (Fig. 1/6)

.

NOTE 

the difference between 

tA b

 and 

tA L

tA b

 = Rangefinder’s best measurement

tA L

 = Rangefinder’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 configuration)

The user can configure/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 reconfiguration would allow the user to operate the 

rangefinder in their preferred layout for the intended field application (e.g., 
left- or right-hand preference and/or single-handed bow hunting scenario). 

You can select the most appropriate button configuration for yourself in 

Menu 6 (

See Table 1; 

press the SET button for 2 s press the SET 

button five times). By pressing the range-finding 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 configured 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 
s 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 
always display the saved settings in the menu.

Caution:

 Please note that the ballistic information system BIS II is not to be used as 

a replacement for the hunter’s assessment of the situation, but rather to support and 
increase hunting safety. We recommend shooting exercises from different ranges, 
which can be used to check the correct match of the specifications with the actual 
points of impact.
