Frequently Asked Questions - Geovid R 10x42 LEICA

How to insert or change the battery?

Open the battery compartment cover by turning it counterclockwise (e.g., with a coin). Insert a 3V lithium round battery type CR2 with the + terminal facing forward. Close by turning clockwise. Cold reduces battery performance; remove the battery if not used for a long time.

What is the maximum measuring range?

The maximum range is approximately 1825 meters (2000 yards) in good visibility and with reflective targets. The range may be reduced by factors such as dark color, acute angle, low light, or fog.

How to adjust the diopter compensation?

Set both diopter compensation rings to 0. Focus on a distant object using the central focusing wheel. Activate the target reticle via the main button. Adjust the right ring until the reticle is sharp, then adjust the sharpness of the right image with the central wheel, and finally adjust the left ring for the left image. The values are displayed on the diopter scales.

How to use Scan mode?

Hold down the main/trigger button on the second press. After about 2.5 seconds, the device switches to Scan mode and performs continuous measurements. The display changes approximately every second. This mode is useful for small or moving targets. Power consumption is higher.

What are the ballistic compensation options?

The binoculars offer three types of ballistic compensation: EHR (equivalent horizontal distance), HOLD (aiming point), and MOA (adjustment in minutes of angle). You can select these options via the menu by pressing and holding the secondary/menu button, then navigating to ABC.

How to clean the lenses?

First remove coarse particles with a fine brush or by blowing. For fingerprints, use a damp cloth, then wipe with a clean soft chamois or a lint-free cloth. Do not press too hard. Never use alcohol or chemicals on the optics or housing.

What to do if the display flashes?

A flashing display indicates that the battery is low. Replace it with a new CR2 battery. After flashing, you still have about 50 measurements possible, but the range decreases. Use batteries of a brand recommended by Leica.

How to adjust the interpupillary distance?

Fold the binoculars around the hinge axis until the two fields of view merge into a circular image. The interpupillary distance is adjustable from 56 to 74 mm.

How to use a custom ballistic curve?

Calculate the curve on the Leica website, download it to a microSD memory card (preferably SanDisk microSDHC). Insert the card into the slot under the battery (contacts facing forward). In the menu, select Cord to use the custom curve. Only one curve can be stored on the card.

What to do if the image is not circular?

Check eye position: the pupil must be in the exit pupil. Ensure the eyecups are correctly adjusted: screwed in for observation with glasses, unscrewed (4 positions) for without glasses. Adjust the interpupillary distance if necessary.

FOREWORD

Dear Customer,

Throughout the world, the Leica name stands for premium quality, accurate precision mechanics, optimum reliability and long service life.

We wish you much enjoyment and every success with your new Leica Geovid HD-B binoculars.

These binoculars with integrated range finder transmit invisible infrared pulses that are harmless to the eyes and a built-in microprocessor calculates the distance to the object from the reflected signal. They also detect the ambient and usage conditions. Along with the measured distances, this data can be used to calculate and display the appropriate point of aim correction for various selectable and freely programmable ballistics curves, the appropriate click adjustments for the reticle on a telescopic sight or the equivalent horizontal range.

To enable you to make the best possible use of this high performance and versatile device's features, we recommend that you read these instructions before use.

DISpOSAL OF ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC EQUIpMENT

Applications

The Leica Geovid HD-B binoculars have a robust magnesium housing, allowing them to be used even under adverse conditions. There's no need to worry about moisture - they are absolutely waterproof to a depth of 5m and the internal optics do not become fogged thanks to a nitrogen filling.

ATTACHING THE LENS COVERS

To fit the two lens covers, the rubber rings on the covers are pushed over the binocular tubes from the lens side in such a way that the covers fold downwards.

ATTACHING THE CARRYING STRAp AND THE EYEpIECE COVER

INSERTING AND CHANGING THE BATTERY

The Leica Geovid HD-B draws its power supply from a 3 Volt lithium button cell (type CR2).

1. Open the cover (11) over the battery compartment (12) by turning it anticlockwise, e.g. with a coin.
2. Insert the battery so that the positive contact goes in first (as shown by the markings in the battery compartment).
3. Close the cover again by turning it clockwise.

Notes:

• Cold conditions impair the battery performance.
Therefore, at low temperatures the binoculars should be kept as close to the body as possible and a new battery should be fitted.
- If the binoculars are not going to be used for a long time, the battery should be removed.
• Batteries should be stored in a cool dry place.

Attention:

• Batteries should never be put in a fire, heated, recharged, taken to pieces or broken apart.
  • Used batteries may not be disposed of as normal, household waste as they contain toxic materials that are harmful to the environment.
• To ensure that they are properly recycled, they should be returned to the dealer or disposed of as special waste (at a collection point).

BATTERY CHARGE LEVEL

A new battery lasts for more than 2000 measure ments at 20^ C/ 68^ F.

Depending on the conditions of use, the battery life can be significantly shorter or longer than this. Low temperatures and frequent use of scan mode (see p.35) shorten the battery life.

A used battery is indicated by a flashing measured value and reticule display. When flashing starts, around another 50 measurements are possible, but with a continuously reduced range.

Leica recommends the use of branded batteries.

ADJUSTING THE EYEpIECE CUpS / USING WITH AND WITHOUT GLASSES

The eyepiece cups (1) can easily be adjusted by turning them, and lock securely in the selected positions. They can be removed completely for thorough cleaning.

For viewing with glasses (Figure A), they remain in the fully screwed in position. For viewing without glasses, they are extended by turning them anticlockwise. Four positions are available for optimum adjustment (Figure B).

If the eyepieces are heavily soiled, we recommend removing the cups for cleaning (Figure C). They are removed by gently pulling them in the fully extended position.

ADJUSTING THE EYE SpACING

Bending the binoculars about the hinged axes (9) individually adjusts the eye spacing. The right and left field of vision should merge into a circular image.

FOCUSING / DIOpTER COMpENSATION

On the Leica Geovid HD-B binoculars, the focus is set for objects different distances away using the central focusing dial (5).

The two diopter compensation dials (4) are used to compensate for individual eyesight problems when viewing without glasses and to focus the reticule.

Carefully run through the steps described below. Only then can you utilize the full capabilities of the optical system.

1. Turn the two diopter compensation dials (4) to their zero positions.
2. When viewing with both eyes, adjust them to a distant object using the central focusing dial.
3. Press the main / release button (7) to activate the reticule.

1. When the reticule appears, while continuing to view with both eyes, adjust the right diopter compensation dial (red index) so that the reticule can be seen in focus in the right optical system.
2. Then, with the reticule still activated but only viewing with the right eye, use the central focusing dial to adjust the image in the right lens until it is exactly in focus.
3. Then repeat this procedure for the left lens using the left diopter dial (4).
4. The set values can be read off using the "+" or "-" values on the diopter scales (4a).

Note:

When looking through just the left or right side, the other eye should be squeezed shut or you can simply hold the corresponding half of the binoculars on the lens at the front.

BASIC INFOMATION ABOUT THE MENU SYSTEM

For all settings:

- The main menu contains four options: Display in yards/meters (US, EU), ballistics curve (bøLL), zeroing distance (Sld) and ballistic output format (AaC). Details of these functions can be found in the relevant sections.

- Both the main menu and the relevant setting options scroll in a continuous loop, i.e. all options/settings can be accessed by repeatedly pressing the relevant button.

SETTING THE UNIT OF MEASURE

The Leica Geovid HD-B can be set to either the imperial unit system commonly used in the USA (US) or the metric system (EU) i.e. yards and inches / Fahrenheit / inHG (inches of mercury) or meters and centimeters / Celsius / millibars for distance, temperature and air pressure respectively.

This setting also determines the units used for the point of aim, the ballistics curves and the zeroing distances. The factory setting on the Leica Geovid HD-B is yards.

Setting

1. Press and hold (≥3s) the secondary / menu button (2).

• US:EU appears in the display (flashing).

1. Press the main / release button (7) to select the unit of measure you want to use.

US = Display in yards

EU = Display in meters

Note:

The current setting can always be seen in the display: If metric values are selected, a dot appears to the bottom right of the reticule.

1. Save your setting by pressing the secondary / menu button.

- The saved setting lights up as confirmation and the display then switches to the next option (BALL = Ballistics curve) and then goes out if no more settings are made.

RANGE MEASUREMENT

Two circular black-and-white photos of a goat standing in a snowy mountain landscape, with no visible text or symbols.

To measure the range to an object, you must aim directly at it. To do this, proceed as follows:

1. Press the main / release button (7). The range finder is activated.

• The reticule appears.

When you let go of the main / release button, the reticule is lit for a further six seconds. If you hold the button down, the reticule remains lit.

1. Aim at the object while the reticule is lit.
2. Press the main / release button (7).

a. The reticule disappears briefly during the measurement.

b. The measured value is displayed.

As long as the reticule is still lit, a new measurement can be started at any time by pressing the main / release button again.

The display shows: - - - if

• the object distance is less than 10 meters/yards, or
• the range is exceeded, or
• the object is not sufficiently reflective.

When the display disappears, the range meter is automatically deactivated.

SCAN MODE

The Leica Geovid HD-B binoculars can be used to measure continuously (scan mode).

Hold down the main / release button (7) on the 2nd press.

After around 2.5 seconds, the binoculars switch to scan mode and then carry out measurements continuously. This can be seen by a change in the display:

Around every 1s a new measured value is shown.

Scan mode is particularly practical for measuring small and moving targets.

Notes:

• In scan mode, the BC correction value is not displayed until after the last measurement.
• Because of the continuous measurements, power consumption is greater in scan mode than for single measurements.

MEASURING RANGE AND ACCURACY

The measuring range of the Leica Geovid HD-B is up to ±1825m/2000yds . The maximum range is achieved with high reflective target objects and a visual range of 10km/6.2 miles.

Note:

To reliably detect very distant objects, we recommend holding the binoculars very steadily and/or placing them on a stable surface.

The measuring range is influenced by the following factors:

Range Higher Lower
Color	White Black
Angle to lens	Perpendicular Acute
Object size	Large Small
Sunlight	Low (cloudy)	High (midday sun)
Atmospheric conditions	Clear Hazy
Object structure conditions	Homogeneous (wall of building)	Inhomogeneous (bush, tree)

In sunlight and with good vision, the following ranges and accuracies can be achieved:

Range	Approx. 10m/yds to 1825m/2000yds
Accuracy	Approx. ±1m/yd up to 500m/yds Approx. ± 2m/yds up to 1000m/yds Approx. ± 0.5% above 1000m/1000yds

DISpLAYING THE ATMOSpHERIC CONDITIONS

For precise calculation of the point of impact (see next section) the Leica Geovid HD-B determines three other important pieces of information during the range measurement: the inclination of the binoculars, the temperature and the atmospheric pressure. The relevant values can be displayed at any time.

Briefly press the secondary / menu button (8) once.

- The reticule appears briefly (if range measurement was not already active). The following are then displayed alternately instead of the range for around 2s:

• Angle of inclination
• Temperature
• Atmospheric pressure

Note:

If the housing of the Leica Geovid HD-B initially has a significantly different temperature than its surroundings, e.g. when taking it outside, it can take up to 30 minutes before the internal sensor can determine the correct ambient temperature.

DETERMINING THE BALLISTICS CURVE

To adjust the equivalent horizontal range calculation (EHR, see p. 44), the point of aim (HOLD, see p. 44) or the reticule adjustment (NOR, see p. 45) to different calibers, ammunition types and weights, you can choose from 12 different ballistics curve. The Appendix contains six tables, three different ones for zeroing distances in meters and in yards. In the table that corresponds to the set zeroing distance, find the ballistics curve that is closest to the point of impact specification provided by the ammunition manufacturer.

Example:

The weapon is zeroed to 100 meters with the associated telescopic sight, Table 1 is applicable. The ammunition manufacturer specifies 15.0cm at 200m as the point of impact for the ammunition used. In the corresponding column, this corresponds most closely to the value of 14.5cm in the EU7 line - this is therefore the appropriate ballistics curve.

Note:

When using the ballistics function on the Leica Geovid HD-B, particularly at ranges of >300m / 300 yards, we recommend determining the ballistic data for your ammunition by practical trials, so that you can select the appropriate curve.

SETTING THE BALLISTICS CURVE

Start with step 1 if you have not yet opened the menu system and with step 3 if you have already set the unit of measure and bAII is still flashing in the display.

1. Press and hold (≥3s) the secondary / menu button (8).
   • USEU appears.
2. Briefly (<2s) press the secondary / menu button once.
   • The display changes to ALL (= Ballistics curves).
3. Press the main / release button (7).
   • The display changes to
4. US1 or

5. EUI

6. Repeatedly press the main / release button to select the relevant ballistics curve, i.e.

7. US1 to US12 or

8. EU1 to EU2, or
   if you want the range to be displayed with no point of impact correction (RBC)

9. OFF.

10. Save your setting by pressing the secondary / menu button.

- The saved setting appears continuously for 4s as confirmation and the display then changes to Sid and goes out if no more actions are performed.

If a ballistics curve is set, after each range measurement the range is displayed for 2s and then the calculated correction value for 6s.

Start with step 1 if you have not yet opened the menu system and with step 3 if you have already set the ballistics curve and SId is still flashing in the display.

1. Press and hold (≥3s) the secondary / menu button (8).

• US:EU appears.

1. Briefly (<2s) press the secondary / menu button twice.

• The display changes to ALL and then to SID.

1. Select the relevant zeroing distance by repeatedly pressing the main / release button (7).

2. 100 [m],

3. 200 [m], or
4. GEE [m], or
5. 100 [y], or
6. 200 [y], or

7. 300 [y].

8. Save your setting by pressing the secondary / menu button.

- The saved setting appears continuously for 4s as confirmation and the display then changes to A&C and goes out.

DISPLAYING THE SET BALLISTICS CURVE AND THE ZEROING DISTANCE

To check your settings, e.g. if the hunting situation has changed or you have not used the binoculars for some time, you can quickly display the three values at any time.

To do this, briefly press the secondary / menu button (8) twice.

- The following information briefly appears in turn below the reticule (instead of the range) for approx. 2s:

• The set ballistics curve
• The set zeroing distance
• The set ballistic output value

BALLISTIC OUTpUT FORMATS (ABC®)

Advanced Ballistic Compensation (ABC) on the Leica Geovid HD-B allows you to display one of the following three ballistic values after measuring the range:

• the equivalent horizontal range (Hr)
• the corresponding point of aim HOLD
• the number of clicks required for quick reticule adjustment

Both the point of aim and EHR value displayed take account of:

a. the measured distance to the target,
b. the angle of inclination of the weapon,
c. the set ballistics curve,
d. the measured temperature and atmospheric pressure values
e. the set zeroing distance.

Notes:

• The calculation of the specified values is based on the set ballistics curve, i.e. this must be selected first (see p. 41).
• Ballistic output values are only specified up to a range of 800m/875 yards on safety grounds. In addition, only the range actually measured is specified.

Important:

• Note that at longer ranges, the influence of all the factors relevant in ballistics increases significantly and considerable variations can occur. The ballistic values displayed should therefore be seen only as a reference.
• Regardless of whether or not you use this information, you are responsible for assessing the relevant hunting situation.

EQUIVALENT HORIZONTAL RANGE

Shots at higher or lower targets are subject to changed ballistic conditions. They therefore require the use of the equivalent horizontal range, which differs from the actual distance to the target (in some cases significantly).

Note:

Even horizontal EHR measurements can result in values that differ from the "normal" measured range, for example if the temperature and/or atmospheric pressure differ from the programmed mean values.

POINT OF AIM

The point of aim is the point the weapon is aimed at instead of the actual target to compensate for the variations caused by the flight of the bullet (e.g. when using conventional hunting reticules).

By displaying the point of aim, the Leica Geovid HD-B can provide valuable support when used in hunting, ensuring that shots are as accurate as possible. In addition to the range, the calculation is based on the general conditions outlined in the previous section and the ballistics curve you have selected.

Note:

The point of aim / attachment value displayed is always expressed relative to the distance to the target. Example: If 300m 30 is displayed, you would need to aim 30cm higher on the object than would be the case without correction.

pPOINT OF IMpACT CORRECTION USING ELEVATION ADJUSTMENT (CLICK / MOA ADJUSTMENT)

Variations in the point of impact can be compensated by a corresponding adjustment of the reticule on your telescopic sight.

Taking into account the measured range, the trajectory of the bullet and the set zeroing distance (see p. 42), the Leica Geovid HD-B can display the required adjustments, i.e. the relevant number of clicks.

For the different elevations, you can specify whether the clicks are to be specified

• based on the international standard MOA (minutes of angle) graduation, or
• in 5 or 10 centimeter graduations.

SETTINGS AND SELECTION OF BALLISTIC OUTpUT FORMATS

Start with step 1 if you have not yet opened the menu system and with step 3 if you have already set the unit of measure and ABC is still flashing in the display.

1. Press and hold (≥2s) the secondary / menu button (8).
   • USEU appears.

2. Briefly (<2s) press the secondary / menu button three times.

- The display changes to ALL and SID and then to ABC.

1. Select the relevant ballistic setting by repeatedly pressing the main / release button (7).

8. Save your setting by pressing the secondary / menu button.

- The saved setting is displayed continuously for 4s as confirmation and the display then goes out.

DISPLAYING AND CHECKING THE SET BALLISTICS pARAMETERS

If you want to check your settings, you can display the values at any time.

To do this, briefly press the secondary / menu button (8) twice.

- The following information briefly appears in turn below the reticule (instead of the range) for approx. 2s:

• The set ballistics curve (see p. 41)
• The set zeroing distance (see p. 42)
• The set ballistic output value (see p. 45)

If all ballistics functions are deactivated (BALL = OFF), only the US or EU setting is displayed.

USING ALTERNATIVE BALLISTICS CURVES

If the intended weapon / ammunition combination is not covered by one of the 2 x 12 programmed ballistics curves on the Leica Geovid HD-B you can use your own custom ballistics curves. These are initially precisely calculated based on the load data your provide online - such as caliber, ammunition weight etc. - and then transferred to the microSD memory card supplied so that it can be retrieved on the binoculars once the card has been inserted.

This is done in three stages:

A. Calculation and transfer of requested ballistics curve to the memory card.

On the Leica Camera AG homepage at www.leica-camera.com, the Sport Optics area

• includes instructions for entering the required information/values for calculation of a ballistics curve
• the corresponding input screen
• a description of the download process, i.e. how to transfer the calculated ballistics curve to the memory card

Cross-sectional diagram of a mechanical component with a red arrow indicating direction (no text or symbols)

B. Inserting the memory card in the binoculars The memory card slot (13) is located in the battery compartment (12), where it is protected from soiling and the ingress of water.

1. Open the cover (11) over the battery compartment (12) by turning it anticlockwise, e.g. with a coin.

2. Remove the battery.

3. Slide the memory card into the slot with the contacts pointing forwards and downwards, until you feel it engage.

4. Insert the battery so that the positive contact goes in first (as shown by the markings in the battery compartment).

5. Close the cover again by turning it clockwise. To remove the memory card, follow these instructions in reverse. Use the tweezers supplied.

C. Retrieving the ballistics curve from the memory card

If a memory card containing a ballistics curve is inserted in the binoculars, this curve can be retrieved in exactly the same way as described under "Setting the ballistics curve" on p. 41.

- In this case, when you press the main / release button (7) Cord appears first.

The following warning messages can appear instead:

- Err1 if the SId menu is open but the memory card is then removed, or if the card is defective or cannot be read. In this case, Cord also disappears.

- Err2 if there is no ballistics curve on the memory card

- Err3 if the ballistics curve on the memory card does not contain correct data

The subsequent procedure is exactly the same as for the pre-programmed ballistics curves.

Note:

Even if a memory card is inserted, you can set one of the pre-programmed ballistics curves at any time. You should always check your settings.

Notes:

• For safety reasons, i.e. to prevent confusion, only one ballistics curve can ever be saved on the card.
• When using ballistics curves from the memory card, ranges up to 925m/1000yds are displayed.
• The range of microSD cards is too large for Leica Camera AG to be able to completely test all available types for compatibility and quality. Therefore, we recommend using a card such as the "microSDHC™" cards from the leading brand "SanDisk".
• Although using other card types is not likely to damage the binoculars or the card, some "no name" cards do not comply with the microSD standards, and Leica Camera AG is unable to provide any guarantee that they will function correctly.

MAINTENANCE / CLEANING

Your Leica Geovid HD-B binoculars do not require any special care. Coarse dirt particles, such as sand, should be removed with a fine hair brush or blown away. Marks such as fingerprints on the front lens and eyepiece lenses can be cleaned with a damp cloth and then wiped off with a soft, clean leather or dust-free cloth.

Important:

Do not exert heavy pressure when wiping highly soiled lens surfaces. Although the coating is highly abrasion resistant, it can be damaged by sand or salt crystals. The housing should only be cleaned with a moist leather cloth. Using dry cloths brings a risk of static charge. Alcohol and other chemical solutions must not be used to clean the optical system or the housing. All Leica Geovid HD-B binoculars have their “personal” serial number in addition to the type designation. Note this number in your documentation for security.

Attention:

The housing may not be opened.

SPARE PARTS

If you should require any spare parts for your Leica Geovid HD-B binoculars, e.g. eyepiece cups or covers, please contact our Customer Service department or the Leica office in your country (see warranty card for addresses).
