SAFETY AND CARE INSTRUCTIONS

GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Do not use your camera in the immediate vicinity of devices with
powerful magnetic, electrostatic or electromagnetic fields (e.g.
induction ovens, microwave ovens, television sets or computer
monitors, video game consoles, cell phones, radio equipment).
• If you place the camera on or very close to a television set, its
magnetic field could interfere with picture recordings.
• The same applies for use in the vicinity of cell phones.
• Strong magnetic fields, e.g. from speakers or large electric
motors, can damage the stored data or the pictures. If the
camera malfunctions due to the effects of electromagnetic fields
then turn the camera off, remove the battery, and then turn the
camera on again. Do not use the camera in the immediate
vicinity of radio transmitters or high-voltage power lines. Their
magnetic fields can also interfere with picture recordings.
• Protect the camera from contact with insect sprays and other
aggressive chemicals. Petroleum spirit (cleaning solvent),
thinner. and alcohol may not be used for cleaning. Certain
chemicals and liquids can damage the camera's housing or the
surface finish.
• As rubber and plastics sometimes emit aggressive chemicals,
they should not remain in contact with the camera for a long
time.

• Ensure that sand and dust cannot get into the camera, e.g. on the
beach. Sand and dust can damage the camera and the memory
card. Take particular care when inserting and removing the card.
• Ensure that water cannot get into the camera, e.g. when it is
snowing or raining and on the beach. Moisture can cause
malfunctions and even permanent damage to the camera and
the memory card.
• If salt water spray gets onto the camera, wet a soft cloth with tap
water, wring it out thoroughly, and wipe the camera with it. Then
wipe down thoroughly with a dry cloth.
Important:
Use only the accessories specified and described in these
instructions or by Leica Camera AG with the camera.
