Instruction Manual V1.1 01/2001
Product changes
Due to a policy of continuous improvement of our prod-
ucts, Leica Microsystems Nussloch GmbH reserves the
right to change specifications without notice.
Warranty
Leica Microsystems Nussloch GmbH guarantees that
the delivered product has been subjected to a com-
prehensive quality control procedure based on our
strict in-house testing standards in order to ensure that
the product complies with its technical specification.
The warranty conditions depend on the contents of the
individual contract concluded, supplemented by the
warranty conditions of your local Leica sales agency.
Any repairs and/or exchange of parts of the product
must be carried out by authorized Leica technical ser-
vice engineers. Otherwise, any warranty becomes in-
valid and warranty claims can no longer be made.
The local Leica representative or the manufacturer in
Nussloch must be consulted prior to any handling of
or changes to the instrument beyond the scope of this
instruction manual as well as prior to any modifications
or any use of the instrument in combination with non-
Leica components not expressly authorized by Leica.
Spare parts and accessories not supplied by Leica can
under no circumstances be considered as inspected
and/or approved by Leica.
Therefore, installation or use of any such parts may
impair the technical design features and thus proper-
ties of the instrument.
Leica assumes no liability whatsoever for any
damage caused by the use of non-original
spare parts or non-original accessories.
The warranty is only valid and warranty claims can only
be made as long as the instrument has been operated
according to its designated use and according to the
instructions given in this manual.
Improper use of the product and/or faulty operation
invalidate the warranty and any claims based thereon,
and likewise Leica will not assume liability for any con-
sequential damage.
Disposal
The instrument or parts of the instrument must be dis-
posed of in compliance with the local laws.
The RM 2155 contains a great number of recyclable
components. For more information about our recycling
program, please contact your local Leica Sales Rep-
resentative or Dealer, or Leica Microsystems Nussloch

resentative or Dealer from whom the instrument was

If an instrument or any part of it is to be returned to
Leica, please note the following:

to or been in contact with potentially pathogenic or
radioactive materials, it is essential to decontami-
nate the instrument or part.
Decontamination must explicitly be confirmed by the
customer. Our service engineers have to enquire
about this.
b. Ensure that there is no radioactivity or hazardous
bacteria present and advise Leica of any decon-
tamination procedure that may have been carried
out.
Should the instrument or any part of it be received in a
condition that Leica considers to be a potential bio-
logical hazard, the instrument or part will be returned
unrepaired at the expense of the customer.
When requesting a service call, please provide the fol-
lowing information:
