After charging is complete – approx. 2 hours
LED goes out and the charging current is disconnected.
There is therefore no risk of overcharging. Nevertheless,
the charger should then be disconnected from the
mains.
The following LED displays indicate that charging is
defective or is not possible:
LED not lit
Green / a. Mains connection
POWER LED
not correct
b. Connected battery
cannot be charged
Red / Battery is not charged
CHARGE LED a. Battery not connected
correctly
b. Connected battery
already fully charged
If a fault cannot be resolved by eliminating the causes
stated in the above table, you should contact your dealer,
the Leica office in your country or Leica Camera AG.
A fully charged battery provides approx. 3 hours of
operating time.

If the battery temperature is too low or the battery is old, this time
can be up to 3 hours; if the battery is still partially charged it can
also be (significantly) shorter.

Notes:
• Remove the battery if you will not be using the cam-
LED flashing
era/the Digital-Modul-R for a long time. Turn off both
–
units first.
• The date and time will have to be reset (see p. 87)

precharging will be
from the mains using the mains unit available as an
carried out first
accessory (order no. 14 452), so that you can contin-
ue working regardless of the battery capacity.
Use
The mains adapter allows stationary use of a LEICA
R8/9 with LEICA DIGITAL-MODUL-R attached over any
length of time. For studio photography or very long
exposures, for example, this can make working signifi-
cantly easier compared to the standard power supply
using the reechargeable battery.
Connection:
1. Plug the 8-pin connector (1.57 a) into the corre-
sponding socket (1.46) on the supply unit for the
Digital-Modul-R, ensuring that the guides on the
connector and the socket are aligned (a white dot
on the Digital-Modul-R's housing indicates the cor-
rect position 1.46 a). Then secure the connection
by tightening the union nut on the connector.
2. Next connect the appropriate mains cable (1.59)
for the system you are using, i.e. plug the smaller
connector on the mains cable (1.60 a) into socket 2
and the mains plug (1.60 b) into a mains socket.
• The LED 1.59 lights up to confirm the correct
mains connection.
Notes
• The mains adapter automatically switches to the
prevailing mains voltage.
• The battery is not charged during mains operation.
• The battery does not need to be left in the Digital-
Modul-R for mains operation.
• The Digital-Modul-R can get warm during operation
from the mains – this is normal and is not a mal-
function.
• During mains operation, the connection between
the Digital-Modul-R and the mains adapter should
not be interrupted.
Safety instructions
• The mains adapter may only be connected to suit-
able voltage sources, i.e. only those described in
these instructions.
• It may only be used in enclosed, dry rooms.
