Dac9976 Posted May 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 On that note have you updated the 4500's firmware to the latest release? No I haven't mate as I dont have a Bluetooth computer...well I don't have a computer at all. In saying that the chaps in the states have not mentioned that. What does your device run on? Cheers Danny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

247sniper Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 What's saying error to connect, your Phone or Kestrel......have you tried another devise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dac9976 Posted May 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 It pairs Steve. I've tried it on two android phones now but both phones firmware is over 5,which could be the problem. I tried it on Strelok and kestrel companion. Strelok says can not conect. Going to try and get a older tablet this week to see if it works on that. Cheers Danny.

walkabout Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 247sniper A different question, can you tell me should I be using smoa (shooter moa) or tmoa (true moa) in the Gun setup? thanks Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
247sniper Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 Hi Mark, TMOA is true moa And SMOA is shooters moa. The difference is TMOA is 1.046 at 100 yrds and SMOA is 1.000" at 100 yrds It all comes down to what your scope adjustment is not how far your shooting. Find out what your scope is and go with that. Hope this helps you out mate? Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.300wm Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 im on firmware 4.87, what are you lads on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.300wm Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 Danny, had a play last night. I will do a step by step of how I got it talking. 1. First I deleted the 4500 from my phones bluetooth list 2. turn phone BT on and turn 4500 BT on, had the range set to "lo" and then go to the info screen to find the pin 3. Phone (s5 galaxy in my case) had found the 4500 without me doing anything, click on "k4500-718xxx" the last numbers there are the s/n of your kestrel and connect, enter the pin that is displayed on the info screen of the kestrel. The BT screen on your kestrel should change from "ready" to connected 4. go to the AB screen on your kestrel and make sure you have a gun turned "on" or selected 5. Open the AB app or Kestrel Companion. 6. (i will use kestrel companion for the example as there are far fewer buttons.) Click connect at the bottom next to the little red kestrel symbol 7. A list will appear of all previously paired BT devices with your phone, in there should be "K4500-718xxx" and underneath it it should say "uncategorized device", click that one. 8. Enter a range and the app will update with the correct information and corrections. N.B. This only works when the kestrel is on the AB screen. Let me know if that works.

Ok I've tried that and it won't even pair now.. It seems the kestrel is on 4.87 and my phone is on 5.0.1 so it looks likely that it needs an update. What a complete pain in the a##e that is. Thanks for you help and time chaps. Cheers Danny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dac9976 Posted May 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 Hi all Thought I'd update you lot on my kestrel dilemma. Tried to update it after buying a Bluetooth dongle for a laptop, managed to do something with my limited computer skills. Anyway the unit had a melt down and wouldn't even turn on. So I phoned RPR and sent it back. I was right all along the unit was faulty, what a complete waste of my time! RPR sent me a brand new one back which I've just tested and works immediately with kestrel companion not so well with strelok though, but I supose you can't have it all. RPR's customer service was fantastic and I highly recommend them. Thanks again for the help chaps. Cheers Danny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
