For The Charger; For Memory Cards - Leica M9 Instructions Manual

For the charger

• If the charger is used in the vicinity of radio re -
ceivers, it can interfere with the reception; make
sure there is a distance of at least 1 m between the
devices.
• When the charger is in use, it can make a noise
(buzzing) – this is quite normal and is not a malfunc-
tion.
• When it is not in use, disconnect the charger from
the mains as otherwise it uses a certain (very small)
amount of power even when no battery is inserted
in it.
• Always keep the charger contacts clean, and never
short circuit them.

For memory cards

• While a picture is being stored or the memory card
is being read, it may not be removed, nor may the
LEICA M9 be switched off or exposed to vibrations.
• For safety, memory cards should only ever be
stored in the antistatic cover supplied.
• Do not store memory cards where they will be ex -
posed to high temperatures, direct sunlight, mag-
netic fields or static discharge.
• Do not drop or bend a memory card as this can
damage it and result in loss of the stored data.
• Always remove the memory card if you will not be
using the LEICA M9 for a long period of time.
• Do not touch the connections on the rear of the
memory card and keep them free of dirt, dust and
moisture.
• It is recommended that the memory card be refor-
matted from time to time, as fragmentation occurs
when deleting, which can block some of the memo-
ry capacity.
