• It must be protected against moisture, oil and grease.
• It should not be covered due to the risk of over-
heating.
• It should never be operated in the vicinity of flamm-
able gases.
• Ensure that the mains outlet used is freely accessi-
ble.
• The mains adapter may only be cleaned with the
mains plug removed and only with a dry cloth.
• The unit may not be used if its housing or the mains
plug are damaged.
• It may not be opened. Repairs may only be carried
out by authorized workshops.
Inserting and removing the memory card
The LEICA DIGITAL-MODUL-R stores the image data on
an extremely compact and robust SD (Secure Digital)
card. Alternatively, MultiMedia cards can also be used.
SD memory cards and MultiMedia cards are small, light
and interchangeable external storage media. SD mem-
ory cards, particularly those with a high capacity, allow
significantly faster recording and reproduction of the
data. They have a write protection switch, which you
can use to block them against unintentionally storing
and deleting pictures. This switch takes the form of a
slider on the non-beveled side of the card; in the lower
position, marked , the data is protected.
LOCK
SD memory cards and MultiMedia cards are available
from different suppliers and with different capacities.
The LEICA DIGITAL-MODUL-R includes a 512 MB SD
memory card.
Note: Do not touch the memory card contacts.
80 / Detailed guide / Preparation
1. Switch off the Digital-Modul-R with its
button (1.15).
2. Open the flap (1.18) over the memory card slot on
the right-hand side of the Digital-Modul-R, by first
pressing/pulling it slightly back as indicated by the
arrow. The spring force then causes the flap to auto-
matically spring up.
3. Insert the memory card (G) into the slot (1.24) with
the contacts to the rear and the beveled corner
pointing upwards. Slide it completely into the slot
against the spring resistance until you hear it click
into place.
4. Close the cover by pressing it and sliding it forward
until it clicks into place.
To remove the memory card, follow this procedure in
reverse order. To release, the card must first be
pressed slightly further in – as indicated on the flap.
OK/OFF Notes:
• Some types of SD memory cards may cause mal-
function with the Digital-Modul-R. Therefore, please
contact the Leica Information Service before acquir-
ing additional memory cards (address: see p. 114).
• If the memory card cannot be inserted, check that it
is aligned correctly.
• If you cannot close the flap after removing the mem-
ory card, replace and remove the memory card and
then try again.
• When you open the flap (1.16) and remove the mem-
ory card, a corresponding warning message appears
in the monitor (1.11) instead of the normal displays:
Attention No SD-Card
• Do not remove the memory card or the battery, or
disconnect from the mains while the LED (1.20) is lit
to indicate that a picture is being recorded and/or
that data is being saved to the card. Otherwise, the
data on the card can be destroyed and the Digital-
Modul-R may malfunction.
• As electromagnetic fields, electrostatic charge and
defects to the Digital-Modul-R and the card can lead
to damage to or loss of the data on the memory
card, it is recommended that the data is also trans-
ferred to a computer and saved there (see p. 103).
• For the same reason, it is recommended that the
card is always stored in the antistatic cover supplied.
