Best advice for this unit is try long presses and multi presses and see what you get. There's no real manual of use to speak of yet. Eventually the programming starts to reveal itself and make sense. There's a learning curve but don't give up.

Yes manual needs works but my biggest tip is SHORT press of power while in zeroing menu freezes the screen.

Great advice, i had to stumble on this and it was my 2nd sticking point. The other is the lrf has its own reticle off to the side and ranging is not the center of the crosshairs. Makes sense since the lrf is offset on the unit anyhow. Third was how I got this thread. Load your ballistics table and use table reference to not carry your phone and bluetooth connect every time you want to lrf.

Yes good point not everyone knows there are 2 ways to use the ballistics one loaded and one connected via Bluetooth. The other is the 2 options for the reticle holdover and dial in. Hold over gives you the hash to aim at while dial in completely moves the reticle to new aim position. I touched base on all this but I may need to do an updated user guide. As well as some don't know that the IR is adjustable for spot and flood, or the right arrow short press is screen brightness, long press turns on and off wifi, shirt press of menu changes reticle color, left long press is your day night mode, while short press in night mode is your ir brightness.

That's the thing. It connects to the mobile phone. I don't think it has the capability to attain the wind direction and speed in real time.

For the ballistic data it's through the Bluetooth so you should still be able to have internet to gather your wind data input it in the app and it should add it in the real time ballistic data. I will try and get some information to make sure though.

Wind conditions at muzzle can be much different than 50 yards out, let alone 100 yards out.
In extreme cases, they could be 180 degrees different.
I dont believe there is any device on earth, that would accurately take into account such complex wind fluctuations.....not even in airplanes!
