Important Information - Leica GEOVID PRO Instruction Manual

BATTERY
• Only the battery type stated and described in this manual must be
used. Any improper use of the batteries or the use of unapproved
battery types may result in an explosion!
• Do not expose the battery to sunlight, heat, humidity or moisture
for prolonged periods of time. It must not be placed in a micro-
wave oven or a high-pressure container as this would pose a fire
or explosion hazard!
• Never dispose of batteries in fire and never attempt to heat, re-
charge, dismantle or break open a battery.
• Batteries must always be stored out of the reach of children. Do
not leave batteries lying around, as they could be swallowed by
children or pets.
CARRY STRAP
• The carry strap is 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 that pose a risk of entanglement (e.g.
when mountain climbing and similar outdoor activities).

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
GENERAL INFORMATION
• Do not attempt to take the device apart yourself. Repairs must
only be carried out in authorized workshops.
• Remove the battery from the housing if you will not be using the
product for an extended period of time.
• Low temperatures impair battery performance. Carry the device
close to the body in cold conditions and use a fresh battery.
• Make sure to store the batteries in a cool, dry place.
• Depleted batteries must never be disposed of in household waste
as they contain toxic materials that are harmful to the environ-
ment. Battery collection points are provided at most large retail
outlets; alternatively, you can dispose of old batteries at a local
special waste collection point to ensure correct recycling.
• Do not touch the glass surfaces with your fingers, especially if you
have previously applied hand cream, insect repellent, etc. These
substances may contain chemicals that damage or destroy the
coatings on the glass surfaces.
EYEPIECE
• An eyepiece can have the effect of a magnifying glass when ex-
posed to direct frontal sunlight. The device must therefore be pro-
tected against extended exposure to direct sunlight. Storing the
device in the shade or ideally in its case will help prevent damage
to the device interior.
