English term or phrase: alignment crosshair
Sleep Mode

To conserve battery power, the XXX has a sleep mode that activates after 2 minutes of inactivity. Press any button to bring the instrument out of sleep mode. The LCD screen will turn on and the instrument will be ready for use. In addition to the display being on, the blue ALIGNMENT CROSSHAIR, viewed through the eyepiece, indicates that the instrument is on. If the crosshair is not visible the XXX is in sleep mode. When bringing the instrument out of sleep mode, be careful to press a button
only once. Pressing a button more than once may inadvertently turn an instrument function on or off.

Explanation:
See the google reference for pictures.
I don't work into German, so you will probably have to adapt my suggestion, but I hope this gives you an idea of what this is.

When you look through the eyepiece of the tonometer, you see a blue crosshair, which is used to align the instrument in order to take a pressure measurement of the eye.
