Please contact your local authorities, waste disposal collection point or the retailer, from whom you purchased the device for more information on correct waste disposal.

SAFETY REMARKS

WARNING

Non-compliance with the following points may result in serious injury or death.

LASER

  • The use of any operations not described in this manual or any alterations on the device may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
  • The laser device is active and emitting an invisible laser beam as long as the display in the eyepiece is active. Never point the laser focusing optics at a person or animal.
  • Do not depress any of the two buttons while aiming at a human eye or while looking into the optics from the lens side.
  • Never aim the laser at an eye.
  • Do not aim the laser at people or animals.

GENERAL INFORMATION

- Avoid looking directly at bright light sources with your Leica Geovid to prevent eye injury.

CAUTION

Non-compliance with the following points may result in personal injury or damage to the device.

LASER

  • Avoid touching any of the two buttons while the distance measurement function is not in use to prevent an accidental activation of the laser beam.
  • Do not attempt to disassemble, reassemble or repair the Leica Geovid yourself. Emitting laser radiation may pose a serious health risk. The manufacturer warranty is void, once a device was disassembled, reassembled or repaired.
  • Remove the battery immediately and stop using the device if the device housing is damaged or if it emits a strange sound after being dropped or behaves unexpectedly for any other reason.

GENERAL INFORMATION

  • Keep the device out of the reach of small children.
  • Do not use the device while walking. You might trip and fall.
  • Do not combine the operation of your Leica Geovid with other optical components, e.g. lenses or binoculars. Using the Leica Geovid in conjunction with another optical device increases the danger of damaging your eyes.
  • Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the device; exposing the internal electronics may cause damage, injury or electric shock.

LEICA Geovid Pro 8x42 - GENERAL INFORMATION - 1

BATTERY

  • Only the battery type stated and described in this manual must be used. Any improper use of the batteries or the use of unapproved battery types may result in an explosion!
  • Do not expose the battery to sunlight, heat, humidity or moisture for prolonged periods of time. It must not be placed in a microwave oven or a high-pressure container as this would pose a fire or explosion hazard!
  • Never dispose of batteries in fire and never attempt to heat, recharge, dismantle or break open a battery.
  • Batteries must always be stored out of the reach of children. Do not leave batteries lying around, as they could be swallowed by children or pets.

CARRY STRAP

  • The carry strap is usually made of very robust material. You should therefore keep it out of the reach of children. A carry strap is not a toy and poses a strangulation risk.
  • Use the carry strap only for its intended purpose on a camera or on binoculars. Any other use poses the risk of injury and may possibly result in damage to the carry strap and is therefore not permitted.
  • Carry straps should also not be used for cameras/binoculars during sports activities that pose a risk of entanglement (e.g. when mountain climbing and similar outdoor activities).

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

GENERAL INFORMATION

  • Do not attempt to take the device apart yourself. Repairs must only be carried out in authorized workshops.
  • Remove the battery from the housing if you will not be using the product for an extended period of time.
  • Low temperatures impair battery performance. Carry the device close to the body in cold conditions and use a fresh battery.
  • Make sure to store the batteries in a cool, dry place.
  • Depleted batteries must never be disposed of in household waste as they contain toxic materials that are harmful to the environment. Battery collection points are provided at most large retail outlets; alternatively, you can dispose of old batteries at a local special waste collection point to ensure correct recycling.
  • Do not touch the glass surfaces with your fingers, especially if you have previously applied hand cream, insect repellent, etc. These substances may contain chemicals that damage or destroy the coatings on the glass surfaces.

EYEPIECE

- An eyepiece can have the effect of a magnifying glass when exposed to direct frontal sunlight. The device must therefore be protected against extended exposure to direct sunlight. Storing the device in the shade or ideally in its case will help prevent damage to the device interior.

MEASURING VALUES

  • The influence of all ballistically relevant influencing factors is greatly increased at longer ranges and considerable variations may occur. The ballistic values displayed should therefore only be viewed as a guideline.
  • Regardless of whether this information is used, you are responsible for assessing the relevant hunting situation.
  • Leica Camera AG does not accept liability for the accuracy of values transmitted from third-party devices.
  • Powerful electric fields, e.g. emanating from radar systems, may cause errors and/or faulty values.
  • The geomagnetic field can similarly cause value deviations.

METERING RANGE / ACCURACY

Maximum range is achieved in the following scenarios.

  • Highly reflective target objects
  • at a visual range of about 10 km (6 mi)

Long ranges can be reliably measured or achieved by holding the rangefinder very steady and/or placing it on a solid surface.

Maximum ranges are:

Geovid Pro 32 GeovidPro 42/56
on highly reflective targetsapprox. 2300m/2500 ydapprox. 2900 m/3200 yd
on treesapprox. 1400 m/1531 ydapprox. 1850 m/2023 yd
on gameapprox. 900 m/984 ydapprox. 1200 m/1312 yd

The measuring range is influenced by the following factors:

Range higher lower
Colorwhite black
Angle to lensperpendicular acute
Object sizelarge small
Sunlightlow light (cloudy)high light (midday sun)
Atmospheric conditionsclear hazy

  • The inclination of the device
  • Temperature
  • Atmospheric pressure

These values can be displayed at any time:

▶ Press the menu selection button 2x briefly
- The reticule appears. Then the inclination angle, the temperature and atmospheric pressure are displayed in quick succession for around 2 seconds each.

Note

- If the housing of the device initially has a significantly different temperature than the surroundings, for example when moving from inside to outside, it can take up to 30 minutes before the internal sensor can display the correct ambient temperature again.

LEICA Geovid Pro 8x42 - Note - 1

BALLISTICS

The device can be used in various operating modes.

EQUIVALENT HORIZONTAL RANGE (EHr)

Shots at higher or lower elevation targets are subject to changed ballistic conditions. They require knowledge of the equivalent horizontal range, which is relevant for hunting. Knowledge of the equivalent horizontal range is important, for example when using ballistic reticles. Ehr values are indicated by the additional Ehr display.

(Applies within the EU and for other European countries with active waste separation policies.)

This device contains electric and/or electronic components which must not be disposed of in general household waste. Instead, it should be disposed of at a recycling collection point provided by your local authority. This service is free of charge. Any standard or rechargeable batteries used in this device must be removed and disposed of separately in accordance with local regulations. Please contact your local authorities, waste disposal collection point or the retailer, from whom you purchased the device for more information on correct waste disposal.

REGULATORY INFORMATION

You will find the manufacturing date of your product on the stickers on the packaging. The date format is year/month/day.

SAFETY REMARKS

WARNING

Non-compliance with the following points may result in serious injury or death.

LASER

  • The use of any operations not described in this manual or any alterations on the device may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
  • The laser device is active and emitting an invisible laser beam as long as the display in the eyepiece is active. Never point the laser focusing optics at a person or animal.
  • Do not depress any of the two buttons while aiming at a human eye or while looking into the optics from the lens side.
    • Never aim the laser at an eye.
  • Do not aim the laser at people or animals.

GENERAL INFORMATION

- Avoid looking directly at bright light sources with your Leica Geovid to prevent eye injury.

CAUTION

Non-compliance with the following points may result in personal injury or damage to the device.

LASER

  • Avoid touching any of the two buttons while the distance measurement function is not in use to prevent an accidental activation of the laser beam.
  • Do not attempt to disassemble, reassemble or repair the Leica Geovid yourself. Emitting laser radiation may pose a serious health risk. The manufacturer warranty is void, once a device was disassembled, reassembled or repaired.
  • Remove the battery immediately and stop using the device if the device housing is damaged or if it emits a strange sound after being dropped or behaves unexpectedly for any other reason.

GENERAL INFORMATION

  • Keep the device out of the reach of small children.
  • Do not use the device while walking. You might trip and fall.
  • Do not combine the operation of your Leica Geovid with other optical components, e.g. lenses or binoculars. Using the Leica Geovid in conjunction with another optical device increases the danger of damaging your eyes.
  • Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the device; exposing the internal electronics may cause damage, injury or electric shock.

BATTERY

  • Only the battery type stated and described in this manual must be used. Any improper use of the batteries or the use of unapproved battery types may result in an explosion!
  • Do not expose the battery to sunlight, heat, humidity or moisture for prolonged periods of time. It must not be placed in a microwave oven or a high-pressure container as this would pose a fire or explosion hazard!
  • Never dispose of batteries in fire and never attempt to heat, recharge, dismantle or break open a battery.
  • Batteries must always be stored out of the reach of children. Do not leave batteries lying around, as they could be swallowed by children or pets.

CARRY STRAP

  • The carry strap is usually made of very robust material. You should therefore keep it out of the reach of children. A carry strap is not a toy and poses a strangulation risk.
  • Use the carry strap only for its intended purpose on a camera or on binoculars. Any other use poses the risk of injury and may possibly result in damage to the carry strap and is therefore not permitted.
  • Carry straps should also not be used for cameras/ binoculars during sports activities that pose a risk of entanglement (e.g. when mountain climbing and similar outdoor activities).

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

GENERAL INFORMATION

  • Do not attempt to take the device apart yourself. Repairs must only be carried out in authorized workshops.
  • Remove the battery from the housing if you will not be using the product for an extended period of time.
  • Low temperatures impair battery performance. Carry the device close to the body in cold conditions and use a fresh battery.
  • Make sure to store the batteries in a cool, dry place.
  • Depleted batteries must never be disposed of in household waste as they contain toxic materials that are harmful to the environment. Battery collection points are provided at most large retail outlets; alternatively, you can dispose of old batteries at a local special waste collection point to ensure correct recycling.
  • Do not touch the glass surfaces with your fingers, especially if you have previously applied hand cream, insect repellent, etc. These substances may contain chemicals that damage or destroy the coatings on the glass surfaces.

MEASURING VALUES

  • The influence of all ballistically relevant influencing factors is greatly increased at longer ranges and considerable variations may occur. The ballistic values displayed should therefore only be viewed as a guideline.
  • Regardless of whether this information is used, you are responsible for assessing the relevant hunting situation.
  • Leica Camera AG does not accept liability for the accuracy of values transmitted from third-party devices.
  • Powerful electric fields, e.g. emanating from radar systems, may cause errors and/or faulty values.
  • The geomagnetic field can similarly cause value deviations.
