Charging the battery

The LEICA X1 is supplied with the required power by a lithium ion battery (A).
Attention:
• Only the battery type specified and described in this manual, and/or
battery types specified and described by Leica Camera AG, may be used
in this camera.
• This battery may only be used in the units for which it is designed and
may only be charged exactly as described below.
• Using this battery contrary to the instructions and using non-specified
battery types can under certain circumstances result in an explosion.
• The batteries may not be exposed to sunlight, heat, humidity or moisture
for long periods. Likewise, the battery may not be placed in a microwave
oven or a high- pressure container to prevent a risk of fire or explosion.
• Never throw batteries into a fire as this can cause them to explode!
• Humid or wet batteries may not be charged or used in the camera under
any circumstances.
• Always ensure that the battery contacts are clean and freely accessible.
Whilst lithium ion batteries are proof against short circuits, they should
still be protected against contact with metal objects such as paper clips
or jewelry. A short-circuited battery can get very hot and cause severe
burns.
• If a battery is dropped, check the casing and the contacts immediately
for any damage. Using a damaged battery can damage the camera.
