These binoculars with integrated rangefinder emit
harmless, invisible infrared impulses and calculates
the distance to an object from the reflected signal
component using an in-built microprocessor. The
device furthermore captures ambient and operating parameters. These values, combined with the
measured distances, allow the device to calculate
and display the relevant holdover values, required
corrective click adjustments of the reticle on a rifle
scope, or equivalent horizontal distances for various, selectable and programmable ballistic curves.
We recommend reading this manual in its entirety
to ensure that you will be able to correctly utilize all
functions of this high-quality and versatile device.

The rubber rings on the caps are pulled over the
binocular tubes on the lens side, so that the caps
open up downward to mount the two lens caps.

ATTACHING THE CARRY STRAP AND
EYEPIECE CAP

Leica Geovid HD-R 2700

Note
Thread the carry strap through the loop on the
eyepiece cap to secure it and then attach the carry
strap on the left side of the binoculars.

Leica Geovid HD-R 2700

INSERTING/REPLACING THE BATTERY

Your Leica Geovid HD-B/HD-R is powered by a
cylindrical 3 V lithium cell (type CR 2).
1. Open the cap 9 over the battery compartment
12 by turning it counter-clockwise (e.g. with a
coin).
2. Insert the battery so that the positive contact
goes in first (note the markings in the battery
compartment).
3. Close the cap again by turning it clockwise.
Notes
• Low temperatures impair battery performance.
Carry the binoculars close to the body in cold
conditions and insert a fresh battery.
• Remove the battery if the binoculars will not be
used for an extended period of time.
• Store batteries in a cool, dry place.

BATTERY CHARGE LEVEL

A fully charged, new battery will suffice for over
2000 measurements at ambient temperatures
around 20° C.
Battery life can be significantly shorter or longer
depending on operating conditions. Low temperatures and frequent use of the scan mode (see p.
46) will shorten battery life.
A depleted battery is indicated by a flashing measured value and reticule display. The battery will be
able to perform another 50 measurements after
the indicator flashes for the first time, the range
will, however, decrease with each new measurement.
Leica recommends using brand name batteries
only.
Attention
• Never throw batteries into an open fire. Do not
heat, recharge, disassemble or break open a
used battery.
• Depleted batteries must not be disposed of in
regular household waste, because they contain
toxic materials that are harmful to the environment.
• Return the depleted battery to a retailer offering
a battery collection point or bring it to a local
special waste collection point offered by the
local authorities to ensure correct recycling.

Leica Geovid HD-R 2700

ADJUSTMENT OF THE EYECUPS/
USE WITH/WITHOUT EYE GLASSES

Twist the eyecups 4 to adjust them and click them
securely into place in the desired position. They
can also be removed for cleaning.
Users with eye glasses (Figure A) should keep the
eyecups in their fully turned in position. Users
without eye glasses turn the eyecups in counter-clockwise direction until the most comfortable
position is found. Four adjustment positions are
available (Figure B). Removing the eyecups for
cleaning (Figure C) if the eyepiece shows signs of
heavy soiling. Turn the eyecups all the way out and
remove them with a gentle pull.

ADJUSTING THE INTEROCULAR DISTANCE

Adjust the interocular distance by moving the central hinged joints 8. The fi elds of view on the left
and right must merge into one circular image.

Leica Geovid HD-R 2700

ADJUSTING THE FOCUS/
DIOPTER ADJUSTMENT

Use the central focusing wheel 5 to set the focus
for objects at various distances on the Leica
Geovid HD-B/HD-R. The two diopter compensation
rings 6/7 allow a focus adjustment of the reticule
to compensate for individual vision defects when
used without eye glasses.
Follow the instructions below with care. Only then
will you be able to take advantage of the full optical
functionality of the device.
1. Turn both diopter compensation rings to their
zero position.
2. Focus on the distant object with both eyes and
turn the central focusing wheel.
3. Press the main/trigger button 1 to activate the
reticule.

4. Once the reticule appears in your fi eld of vision,
turn the diopter compensation ring on the right 7
(red index) until the reticule on the right is in
clear focus while focusing on the object with
both eyes.
5. With the reticule still activated, but only focusing
on the object with your right eye, use the central
focusing wheel again to fi nalize the image focus
on the right.
6. Next, use the diopter compensation ring 6 on
the left to optimize the image focus on the left.
7. The set values are displayed on the diopter
scales 7a / 6a “+” and “-”.
Note
When setting the focus on either the left or right,
close the relevantly other eye or cover the relevant
other lens at the front of the binoculars.

MENU CONTROL BASICS

The following applies for all settings:
– The main menu consists of four items: Yard/
Meter display (EU.US), Ballistics Curve (baLL),
Zeroing Distance (SId) and Ballistic Output
Format (AbC). Please read the relevant sections
in this manual for details on their function.
– The main menu and the individual setting options
appear in a continuous loop, which means that
all items/settings can be reached by pressing
the button repeatedly.
SETTING THE UNIT OF MEASURE
Your Leica Geovid HD-B/HD-R can be set to imperial units of measure (US) or metric units of measure (EU), i.e. Yards & Inches/Fahrenheit/Inches of
Mercury for Distance/Temperature/Air Pressure,
or Meter & Centimeter/Celsius/Millibar.
This setting also encompasses the units of measure of the holdover, ballistic curves and zeroing
distance. Your Leica Geovid HD-B/HD-R is set to
yards ex works.
Setting
1. Press and hold the secondary/menu button 2
(≥ 3 s).
• EU.US appears (flashing).
2. Press the main/trigger button 1 to select your
preferred unit of measure.
US = display in yards
EU = display in meters
Note
The current setting is always visible in the display:
M (for meters) or Y (for yards) appears in addition
to the digits displayed.
3. Save your setting by briefly pressing the secondary/menu button.
• The saved setting is initially lit continuously as
confirmation, then the display switches to the
next menu item (“bALL” = Ballistics Curve). The
display disappears if no other settings are made.

DISTANCE MEASUREMENT

Leica Geovid HD-R 2700

Aim directly at an object to measure its distance.
Proceed as follows:
1. Press the main/trigger button 1. The rangefi nder
activates.
• The reticule appears.
The reticule remains lit for another 6 seconds after
you release the main/trigger button. The reticule
remains lit continuously while the button is pressed
and held.
2. Aim at the object while the reticule is lit.
3. Press the main/trigger button again.
a. The reticule disappears briefl y during the
measurement.
b. The measured value is displayed.
You can start another measurement by pressing
the main/trigger button at any time, as long as the
reticule display is lit.
– – – appears if
– the distance to the object is less than 10 meters/yards or
– the range is exceeded or
– the object is not suffi ciently refl ective.
When the display disappears, the rangefi nder shuts
down automatically.

SCAN MODE

Leica Geovid HD-R 2700

Your Leica Geovid HD-B/HD-R can also be used for
continuous measurements (scan mode):
Hold the main/trigger button 1 when you press it a
2nd time. After about 2.5 seconds, the device
switches to scan mode and will then measure continuously. Scan mode is indicated by a change in
the display:
A new measured value appears every 0.5 seconds.
Scan mode is particularly useful for measuring the
distance to small, moving targets.
Notes
• In scan mode, the AbC compensation value is
shown only after the fi nal measurement.
• Because of the continuous measurements,
power consumption is greater in scan mode than
for single measurements.

MEASURING RANGE & ACCURACY

The measuring range of your Leica Geovid HD-B is
max. 2740 m/3000 yds (HD-R: max. 2470 m/
2700 yds). Maximum range is achieved with highly
reflective targets and a visual range of sight of
around 10 km/6.2 miles.
Note
We recommend holding the binoculars very steady
or resting them on a stable surface for accurate
measurements of far away objects.

Leica Geovid HD-R 2700

The measuring range is influenced by the following
factors: 

Leica Geovid HD-R 2700

In sunlight and with good visibility, the following
range and accuracy applies:

Leica Geovid HD-R 2700

ATMOSPHERIC CONDITIONS DISPLAY

Leica Geovid HD-R 2700

Your Leica Geovid HD-B/HD-R will determine three
crucial pieces of additional information when measuring the distance to the intended object to accurately calculate the impact point (see next section):
device angle, temperature and atmospheric pressure. You can have the relevant values displayed at
any time.
Press the secondary/menu button 2 once.
• The reticule appears briefl y (if distance measurement was not previously activated). Next, the
following items appear in succession for around
2 s each instead of the range:
– inclination (indicated by an additional angle
symbol)
– temperature
– atmospheric pressure
Note
It may take up to 30 minutes for the internal sensor
to display the correct ambient temperature if the
housing of your Leica Geovid HD-B/HD-R is signifi –
cantly warmer or colder (e.g. during the transition
from indoor to outdoor temperatures).

DETERMINING THE BALLISTICS CURVE

There are 12 ballistics curves to choose from to
allow for a calculation adjustment of the equivalent
horizontal distance (EHR, see p. 52), the holdover
(HOLd, see p. 52), or the reticle correction (MOA, see
p. 54) to the various calibers, as well as bullet
types and weights. There are 6 tables provided in
the Appendix, three each for zeroing distances in
meters and yards. Find the ballistics curve that is
closest to the point of impact specified by the
ammunitions manufacturer in the relevant table
matching the zeroing distance.
Example
The weapon and rifle scope are zeroed to a distance of 100 meters (Table 1 applies). The point of
impact for the ammunition used is stated by the
manufacturer as 15.0 cm at 200 m. In the relevant
column, this is closest to the value 14.5 cm in row
EU7 – and is therefore the correct ballistic curve.
Note
We recommend determining the ballistics data of
your ammunition in practical tests to select the
correct curve when using the Leica Geovid HD-B/
HD-R’s ballistic function at distances greater than
300 m/yds and/or with ammunition types not
covered by the device-internal settings. Alternatively, you can use the Leica ballistics calculator
(http://ballistictool.leica-camera.com) to calculate
new settings and transfer those to the device via
the memory card.

SETTING THE BALLISTICS CURVE

Start with step 1 if you are working with the menu
controls for the first time or with step 3 if you have
just set the unit of measure and the display bAll is
still flashing.
1. Press and hold the secondary/menu button 2
(≥ 3 s).
• EU.US appears.
2. Press the secondary/menu button 1 time
(< 2 s).
• The display switches to bALL (= Ballistics
Curves).
3. Press the main/trigger button 1.
• The display switches to
– US1 or
– EU1
Note
When a memory card is inserted, CArd appears
before EU1/US1.
4. Select the desired ballistics curve by pressing
the main/trigger button repeatedly, i.e.
– US1 to US12 or
– EU1 to EU12, or
OFF if you want to have the distance displayed
without point of impact correction
– (AbC).
5. Save your setting by briefly pressing the secondary/menu button.
• The saved setting lights up for 4 s as confirmation, then the display initially switches to SId and
then disappears if no other action is taken.
Once a ballistics curve is set, the range value is
first displayed for 2 s after each distance measurement is taken, followed by the calculated correction value for 6 s.

SETTING THE ZEROING DISTANCE

Start with step 1 if you have not previously opened
the menu control, or with step 3 if you have just set
the unit of measure and SId is still flashing in the
display.
1. Press and hold the secondary/menu button 2
(≥ 3 s).
• EU.US appears.
2. Press the secondary/menu button 2 times
(< 2 s)
• The display switches from bALL to SId.
3. Pressing the main/trigger button 1 repeatedly
selects the required zeroing distance.
– 100 [m],
– 200 [m] or
– GEE [m] or
– 100 [y] or
– 200 [y] or
– 300 [y].
4. Save your setting by briefly pressing the secondary/menu button.
• The saved setting is initially lit continuously for
4 s as confirmation, then the display switches
to AbC and then disappears.
SET BALLISTICS CURVE DISPLAY AND
ZEROING DISTANCE DISPLAY
You can display the 3 values at any time if you want
to verify your settings, e.g. because of a change in
the hunting conditions or if some time has passed
between uses.
Press the secondary/menu button 2 briefly twice.
• The following will appear in sequence for around
2 s each underneath the reticule (instead of the
range, where applicable)
– the set ballistics curve
– the set zeroing distance
– the set ballistic output value

BALLISTICS OUTPUT FORMATS (ABC®)

The Advanced Ballistic Compensation (AbC) function of your Leica Geovid HD-B (not available for
HD-R) allows you to optionally display one of the
following three ballistics values right after the measured range is displayed:
– the equivalent horizontal range (EHr)
– the relevant holdover (HOLd)
(not available for HD-R)
– the number of clicks required on the rapid reticle
adjustment (not on HD-R)
Both the displayed holdover and EHr values factor
in:
a. the measured range to the target
b. the angle of inclination of the weapon
c. the set ballistic curve
d. the measured temperature and atmospheric
pressure values
e. the set zeroing distance
Notes
• Calculation of the specified values is based on
the currently set ballistic curve, i.e. the curve
must be selected first (see p. 50).
• For safety reasons, ballistic output values are
only specified up to a range of 800 m/
875 yds. The actual measured range is also
specified.
Important
• Please note that particularly at long ranges, the
influence of all relevant ballistic influencing factors is greatly increased and considerable variations can 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.

THE EQUIVALENT HORIZONTAL RANGE ( )

Shots at targets at a higher or lower elevation are
subject to changed ballistic conditions. Therefore,
they require knowledge of the equivalent horizontal
range, which is relevant for hunting. Knowledge of
the is important, for example when using
ballistic reticles. values are indicated by the
additional display .
Note
Horizontal measurements can also result in
values that differ from the “straight line” measured
range, for example if the temperature and/or the
atmospheric pressure are non-standard values.
HOLDOVER (HOLd)
(only HD-B 3000)
Holdover is defined as the point that you aim at
with the weapon instead of the actual target point
to compensate for the variation caused by the
trajectory of the bullet (e.g. when using classic
hunting reticles). By displaying the holdover, the
Leica Geovid HD-B can provide valuable support in
achieving the most accurate shots possible when
hunting. In addition to the range, the calculation is
based on the general conditions discussed in the
previous section and the ballistic curve you have
selected.
Note
The holdover/offset value is always displayed relative to the target distance.
Example If 300m 30 is displayed, you would have to
aim 30 cm higher on the object than without compensation.

IMPACT POINT CORRECTION USING ELEVATION ADJUSTMENT (Click/MoA adjustment)

(only HD-B 3000)
Variations in the point of impact can be compensated by adjusting the reticle on your rifle scope
accordingly.
Based on the measured distance, bullet trajectory
and the set zeroing distance (see p. 51), your Leica
Geovid HD-B will display the relevant setting adjustments, i.e. the number of clicks required.
For the different elevations, you can specify
whether the click levels will be
– based on the international standard MOA (minutes of angle) graduation, or
– displayed in 5 or 10 millimeter increments.
SETTINGS AND SELECTION OF BALLISTIC
OUTPUT FORMATS
Start with step 1 if you have not previously opened
the menu control, or with step 3 if you have just set
the zeroing distance and ABC is still flashing in the
display.
1. Press and hold the secondary/menu button 2
(≥ 2 s).
• EU.US appears.
2. Press and hold the secondary/menu button
3 times (≥ 2 s).
• The display switches from bALL and SId to ABC.
3. Select the desired ballistics setting by pressing
the main/trigger button 1 repeatedly.
– EHr (HD-B and HD-R)
– only on HD-B 3000:
– HOLd, or
– 1-1 (1 MOA as a decimal value) or
– 1-3 (1⁄3 MOA) or
– 1-4 (¼ MOA) or
– 10
– 5
4. Save your setting by briefly pressing the secondary/menu button.
• The saved setting is initially lit continuously for
4 s as confirmation, then the display disappears.

DISPLAYING AND CHECKING THE SET
BALLISTIC PARAMETERS

(only HD-B 3000)
If you want to check your settings, you can display
the values at any time. To do so, press the secondary/menu button 2 twice.
• The following will appear in sequence for around
2 s each underneath the reticule (instead of the
range, where applicable)
– the set ballistic curve (see p. 50)
– the set zeroing distance
(see p. 51)
– the set ballistic output value
(see p. 54)
Only the setting US or EU will be displayed
when all ballistics functions (bALL = OFF) are deactivated.

USING OTHER BALLISTICS CURVES

Leica Geovid HD-R 2700

(only HD-B 3000)
You can add your own custom ballistics curves for
the Leica Geovid HD-B if the intended weapon/
ammunition combination is not covered by one of
the 2×12 programmed ballistics curves EU1/US1-
EU12/US12. These are initially calculated precisely
based on the charge data like caliber, ballistics
weight etc., which you have provided online. Then
the data is transferred to the microSD memory
card provided and can then be accessed by the
binoculars, once the card is inserted.
This is done in three steps:
A. Calculation of the required ballistics curve and
transfer to the memory card
The Leica Camera AG website at www.leica-camera.
com offers the following information in the Sport
Optics section:
– a description how to enter the required information/values to calculate a ballistics curve
– the relevant input mask
– a description of the download procedure, i.e.
how to transfer the calculated ballistics curve
to the memory card
B. Inserting the memory card into the binoculars
The memory card slot 13 is located in the battery
compartment 12 to protect it against soiling and
moisture.
1. Open the the battery compartment cap 9 by
turning it counter-clockwise e. g. with a coin.
2. Remove the battery.
3. Push the memory card with the contacts at
the front and bottom into the slot until you
feel it clicking into place.
4. Insert the battery so that the positive contact
goes in first (note the markings in the battery
compartment).
5. Close the cap again by turning it clockwise.

C.Opening the ballistic curve from the memory
card
When a memory card containing a ballistics curve is
inserted into the binoculars, it can be selected the
same way as described in “Setting the ballistics curve”
on p. 50.
• Once you have pressed the main/trigger
button 1, the first display in this case will be
CArd.
The following warning will be displayed:
– Err1 if the bALL menu was selected and the
memory card was then removed, or if the
memory card is defective or cannot be
read. Card will disappear if that is the case.
– Err2 if the memory card does not contain a
ballistics curve
– Err3 if the ballistic curve on the memory
card does not contain correct data
The rest of the procedure is the same as for programmed ballistics curves.
Notes
• You can select one of the programmed ballistic
curves at any time while a memory card is inserted. Make sure to always check your settings.
• A separate microSD card is required for each
ballistics curve. Do not attempt to rename a file
on a microSD card, as the device will otherwise
be unable to access it.
• Only one ballistic curve can be saved on a
memory card for safety reasons and to avoid
confusion.
• Distances of up to 925 m/1000 yds will be
displayed when a ballistics curves from a
memory card is used.
• The range of microSD cards is too large for Leica
Camera AG to exhaustively test all available
types for compatibility and quality. We therefore
recommend using microSDHC™ memory cards
manufactured by SanDisk.
• Although no damage to the binoculars or the
card is generally expected, Leica Camera AG
cannot provide any guarantee of function as
some “no name” cards may not fully comply with
microSD standards.
• Custom zeroing distances on the memory card
will be replaced with pre-installed zeroing distances.

CARE/CLEANING

Your Leica Geovid HD-B/HD-R requires no special
care. Coarse dirt particles like sand can be removed with a soft brush or simply blown off. Fingerprints, etc. on lenses and eyepieces can be
removed with a damp cloth, and the surfaces must
then be wiped with a clean leather or lint-free cloth.

Important
Do not apply pressure when wiping heavily soiled
lens surfaces. The coating is abrasion-resistant, but
is not impervious to sand or salt crystals.
The housing should be cleaned using a damp cloth
only. Using a dry cloth may cause static electricity
due to friction. Do not use alcohol or chemical
cleaning solutions on the lenses or housing.
In addition to its type designation, each Leica
Geovid HD-B/HD-R has a unique serial number.
Please take note of this number as a safety measure.

Attention
Do not open the device!
