Notes:
• When using devices or computing systems that require more reliable
security than WLAN devices, appropriate measures must be taken to
ensure security and protect against disruptions to the systems used.
• Leica Camera AG accepts no liability for damage arising from the use
of the camera for purposes other than as a WLAN device.
• It is assumed that the WLAN function will be used in the countries
where this camera is sold. If used in other countries than the one
where the camera is sold, there is the risk that communications trans-
mission conditions may be violated. Leica Camera AG assumes no
responsibility for violations of this kind.
• Please also notice that data transmitted and received wirelessly may
be intercepted by third parties. We highly recommend that you activate
encryption in the wireless access point settings in order to ensure that
the information is secure.
• Don't use the camera in places where there are magnetic fields, static
electricity, or disturbances, such as near microwaves. Otherwise the
wireless transmissions may not reach the camera.
• Using the camera near devices such as microwaves or cordless tele-
phones that use the 2.4 GHz radio frequency wavelength may nega-
tively affect the performance of both devices.
• Do not connect to wireless networks you are not authorized to use.
• When the WLAN function is activated, the device will automatically
search for wireless networks. When this happens, networks that you
are not authorized to use (SSID: indicates the name used to identify a
network over a WLAN connection) may be displayed. Do not attempt to
connect to such a network, since this would be seen as unauthorized
access.
