I couldn't find any reliable instructions on the web so thought I'd post my experiences here. In previous models you needed a special tool to adjust the vertical alignment, this is no longer the case. Leica's actually made it easier. 1) use a knife to pry the red dot off, it's not held on terribly tightly -- you will probably damage the dot a bit. oh well. 2) behind the dot is a small hex screw. Stick the appropriately sized allen wrench in there and turn the screw slightly. my first attempt was about 1/8 turn coiunter clockwise. I checked through the rangefinder and this seems to have fixed it perfectly. 3) stick the red dot back on. 4) go take some photos.
