• Keep the battery contacts clean and easily accessible. Although lithium-ion batteries are secured against short
circuits, they should still be protected against contact with metal objects like paper clips or jewelry. A
short-circuited battery can get very hot and cause severe burns.
• When a battery is accidentally dropped, make sure to check the housing and the contacts immediately for any
damage. A damaged battery can damage the camera.
• The battery must be removed from the camera or charger and must be replaced immediately in case of a
strange smell, discoloration, deformation, overheating or leakage. Continued use of the battery may result in
overheating, which can cause fire and/or explosion!
• Never throw batteries into a fire as they might explode!
• Keep the battery away from sources of heat in case of a leak or a smell of burning. Leaked fluid can catch fire!
• The use of other chargers not approved by Leica Camera AG can cause damage to the batteries – and in
extreme cases – cause serious or life-threatening injuries.
• Make sure that the power socket is freely accessible at all times.
• The in-car charging cable must never be connected while the charger is connected to mains electricity.
• Do not attempt to open the battery or the charger. Repairs must only be carried out by authorized service
centers.
• Keep batteries out of the reach of children. Batteries can cause suffocation when swallowed.
CHARGER
• Using the charger in the vicinity of broadcasting receivers may interfere with reception. Ensure a distance of at
least 1 m (3 ft) between the charger and the receiver.
• When the charger is in use, it may emit a buzzing sound – this is normal and not a malfunction.
• Disconnect the charger from the mains when it is not in use, because it consumes some a very small amount
electricity, even when no battery is inserted.
• Always keep the charger contacts clean, and never short circuit them.
• The in-car charging cable must only be operated in 12V in-car grids and must never be connected while the
charger is connected to mains electricity.
MEMORY CARD
• Never remove the memory card during a datasave or card reading process. The camera must not be switched off
or be subjected to impact or vibrations while working.
• Do not open the compartment or remove the memory card or battery while the status LED is flashing to indicate
camera memory access. Data on the card may otherwise be destroyed and camera malfunctions may occur.
• Do not drop or bend memory cards as this will cause damage and result in the loss of stored data.
• Do not touch the connections on the reverse of the memory card and keep them clean and dry.
• Keep memory cards out of the reach of children. Swallowing a memory card may cause suffocation.
SENSOR
• Cosmic radiation (e.g. during flights) may cause pixel defects.
CARRY STRAP
• Once you have attached the carry strap, please make sure that the clips are mounted correctly to prevent the
camera from falling.
• Carry straps are usually made of very robust material. You should therefore keep it out of the reach of children.
A carry strap is not a toy and poses a strangulation risk.
• Use the carry strap only for its intended purpose on a camera or on binoculars. Any other use poses the risk of injury
and may possibly result in damage to the carry strap and is therefore not permitted.
• Carry straps should also not be used for cameras/binoculars during sports activities with a high risk of getting
entangled in the carry strap (e.g. mountain climbing and similar outdoor activities).
