Kestrel 4500 with Horus Ballistics

[rmc51]

I picked up a (new) Kestrel 4500 BT with Horus Ballistics at a yard sale cheap. How do I go about to learn how to use it. Are there any books, DVD's, anything out there as a training aid for this?

The only thing I know about it is that the Horus only does G1 not G7 like the AB unit. Outside of that I am lost and do not know where to start learning.

I remember how to use it. But only thing I can think of in learning it is using the Kestrel manual for that model, or pull up a old youtube video of that series.

This is the Horus site for manuals: https://www.horusvision.com/manuals.php#manuals

This is the Kestrel manual:

Thanks Cav and 8, any info I can find is/will help.
Do you know if the manual for Horus Atrag PDA https://www.horusvision.com/download/manual_Horus_ATrag-v385.pdf will correspond to the version in the Kestrel. Would the manual for the standalone Horus Atrag help to understand this Kestrel 4500 software?

The Kestrel meters link has the manual for your Horus. Just scroll down.

Guys:
I have another question, Kestrel is saying to use Lithium batteries instead of standard alkaline batteries. Is there a problem using Energizer AAA Rechargeable NiMH Batteries?

The NiMH don't last as long and may leak if left in the unit for protracted periods. Use Lithium

Second! Lithium all the way.
