LASER
• The use of any operations not described in this
manual or any alterations on the device may result

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.

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.

• 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!

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!
