For The Digital Module-R; For The Battery; For The Charger; For Memory Cards - Leica Digital-Modul-R Instructions Manual

Care instructions
For the Digital-Modul-R
• Unplug from the mains adapter before cleaning the
Digital-Modul-R.
• Only clean the Digital-Modul-R with a soft dry cloth.
Stubborn dirt should first of all be covered with a
well-thinned cleaning agent and then wiped off with
a dry cloth.

For the battery

Rechargeable lithium ion batteries generate power
through internal chemical reactions. These reactions
are also influenced by the external temperature and
humidity. Very high or low temperatures reduce the life
of the battery.
• Remove the battery if you will not be using the
Digital-Modul-R for a long time. Otherwise, after
several weeks the battery could become totally dis-
charged, i.e. the voltage is significantly reduced, as
the Digital-Modul-R uses a low idle current (to save
the date) even when it is turned off. A totally dis-
charged battery cannot be recharged.
• Store the batteries only when they are fully dis-
charged. This condition, which is not the same as
being totally discharged, is reached when the display
2.2.6 c appears in the data panel (1.21). For very
long storage periods, it should be charged up and
discharged again around once a year.
108 / Precautions and care instructions
• Always ensure that the battery contacts are clean
and freely accessible. Protect the contacts from
metal objects such as paper clips or pieces of jewel-
ry, which can cause short circuits. A short-circuited
battery can get very hot and cause severe burns.
• If a battery is dropped, check the housing and the
contacts immediately for any damage. Using a dam-
aged battery can damage the Digital-Modul-R.
• Batteries have only a limited service life.
• Take damaged batteries to a collection point to
ensure correct recycling.
• Never throw batteries into a fire as this can cause
them to explode.

For the charger

• If the charger is used in the vicinity of radio
receivers, it can interfere with the reception; make
sure there is a distance of at least 1m between the
devices.
• When the charger is in use, it can make a noise
(buzzing) – this is quite normal and is not a mal-
function.
• 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 the camera is turned
off and the battery is not being used.
• Always keep the charger's contacts clean.

For memory cards

• While a picture is being stored or the memory card
is being read, it may not be removed, and the Digital-
Modul-R may not be turned off or exposed to vibra-
tions.
• For safety, memory cards should only ever be stored
in the antistatic case supplied.
• Do not store memory cards where they will be
exposed to high temperatures, direct sunlight, elec-
tromagnetic fields or static discharge.
• Do not drop or bend a memory card as this can dam-
age it and result in loss of the stored data.
• Always remove the memory card if you will not be
using the Digital-Modul-R for a long 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 for-
matted from time to time as the fragmentation that
occurs when deleting can block some of the memory
capacity.
