Charging The Battery - Leica D-LUX 5 Instructions Manual

Charging the Battery

∫ About batteries you can use with this camera
It has been found that counterfeit batteries which look very similar to the
genuine product are made available to purchase in some markets. Some of these
batteries are not adequately protected with internal protection to meet the
requirements of appropriate safety standards. There is a possibility that these
batteries may lead to fire or explosion. Please be advised that we are not liable
for any accident or failure occurring as a result of use of a counterfeit battery. To
ensure safe operation we urgently recommend to use only the Leica battery
BP-DC10 E/U (P7).
•
Use only the specified charger and battery.
•
The camera has a function for distinguishing batteries which can be used safely. The
dedicated battery supports this function. The only batteries suitable for use with this
camera is the Leica battery BP-DC10 E/U (P7). (Batteries which do not support this
function cannot be used.) Leica cannot in any way guarantee the quality, performance or
safety of any other batteries.
