LAST EDITED ON Oct-19-10 AT 08:47AM (MST)[p]Just got a new 1600 and am hoping somebody can help me out as it came with no instructions!!!...Just a warranty card. Anyways, is there any way to get it to measure in yards and not meters, and in farenheit instead of celsius. Or maybe it is measuring in yards, but I was at the range Sunday and at the 200yrd mark it measured 185. A guy there had an older Leica 800 and it measured 199 in the same spot I was standing. If somebody could help me understand this thing a little better it would be appreciated. Thanks
 
Setting the unit of measure
The LEICA RANGEMASTER CRF 1600 can be set to
metric units or the Imperial units more commonly
used in the USA, i.e. either meters/Celsius/millibars
or yards/Fahrenheit/PSI (pounds per square inch) for
distance/temperature/atmospheric pressure respectively.
This setting also determines the holdover display
(in centimeters or inches) and the available ballistic
curves
Setting:
1. Briefly press the main button (1) (<3s).
? The reticule appears.
2. Press and hold the secondary button (2) (≥3s).
? appears below the reticule. The display
flashes to indicate that a setting can be made.
Note:
For all settings: The relevant displays disappear 3
seconds after you last press one of the two buttons.
The previously saved settings/values are retained.
3. Briefly press the secondary button twice.
? appears below the reticule.
4. Briefly press the main button.
? disappears, and the reticule and continue
to flash.
5. Select your preferred units of measure by (repeatedly)
pressing the secondary button, for Imperial
as used in the USA, or for metric.
? The relevant displays continue to flash.
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.
6. Save your setting by briefly pressing the main button.
? The saved setting and the reticule light up continuously
for 2 seconds for confirmation and
then disappear.
 
Thanks for the help. I called Leica and apparently I got one of the rangefinders that were shipped without and instruction book.
 
Go ahead and send it to me and I will set it next week during my hunt in NM. LOL. Glad some-one was able to help ya.
