1.  First, ensure you have your mobile device and the ZEISS Victory RF 

in the same work area. ZEISS recommends a clean work area for the 
initialization process in order to support each item as well as the 
connecting instructions. The complete initial sync and data input process 
should take less than 30 minutes. 

2.   Next, you will need to download the ZEISS Hunting App (ZHA) from 

either Google Play or the App Store – depending upon your device  
(smartphone, tablet, etc). 
 

a. The ZHA is free, and it offers several other benefits for the hunter 

 

  and shooter. 
   
b. The ZHA allows for easy Victory RF (VRF) support, setup, and  

  syncing of your data for a positive field-use experience.

 

   
c. While the VRF menus can be accessed and manipulated as  

  an on-board option, the ZHA provides a faster, easier, and 

 

  friendlier platform to input and update relevant data and settings  
  into the VRF model.

Turn off

You can turn off your ZEISS Victory RF menu by pressing the range finding button in 
menu 7 (press SET button for 2 s press the SET button six times).
There are two other ways to shut down your ZEISS Victory RF. Either hold the SET 
button down for 2 seconds or don‘t press either of the buttons for around 10 
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.
