scan mode
The Leica Geovid HD-R binoculars can be used to
measure continuously. Holding down the release
button (5) the 2nd time it is pressed switches the
device to scan mode after around 0.5s and it
then performs continuous measurements. This
can be seen by a change in the display: Around
every 1.5s a new measured value is shown.
Scan mode is particularly practical for measuring
small targets.
notes:
•
Because of the continuous measurements,
power consumption is greater in scan mode
than for single measurements.
•
After 10s, scan mode is automatically
deactivated to conserve the battery if the
button has been pressed unintentionally.
•
In scan mode, the
EHr
value is only displayed
for the last measurement.

target objects and a visual range of 10km. The
measuring range is influenced by the following
factors:
range
