Warning Messages; Legal Information; Designation Of Parts - Leica M Instruction Manual

The CE identification of our products documents compliance
with the fundamental requirements of the valid EU directives.

WARNING MESSAGES

Modern electronic elements react sensitively to electrostatic
discharge. As people can easily pick up charges of tens of
thousands of volts, by walking on synthetic carpets for example, a
discharge can occur when you touch your Leica M, particularly if it
is placed on a conductive surface. If only the camera housing is
affected, this discharge is harmless to the electronics. However,
despite built-in safety circuits, the outer contacts, such as the
battery or rear panel contacts, should not be touched if at all
possible for safety reasons.
For any cleaning of the contacts, do not use an optical micro-fiber
cloth (synthetic); use a cotton or linen cloth instead. Before
touching the contacts, you can make sure you discharge any
electrostatic charge by deliberately touching a heating or water
pipe (conductive, earthed material). You can also avoid soiling and
oxidization of the contacts by storing your Leica M in a dry place
with the lens or bayonet cover fitted.
You should use only the recommended accessories to prevent
faults, short circuits or electric shock.
Do not attempt to remove parts of the body (covers); specialist
repairs can be carried out only at authorized service centers.
