CHARGING THE BATTERY

The Leica X Vario is powered by a lithium ion battery.
Caution:
• Only the battery types specifi ed and described in this manual and/
or specifi ed and described by Leica Camera AG may be used in
this camera.
• Using battery types not specifi ed in these instructions can result in
an explosion.
• These batteries may only be used in the units for which they are
designed and may only be charged exactly as described below.
• Using the battery contrary to these instructions can result in
explosion under certain circumstances.
• The batteries must not be exposed to sunlight, heat, moisture or
condensation for long periods. To prevent a risk of fi re or explosion,
batteries must not be placed in a microwave oven or in a high
pressure vessel.
• Never throw batteries into a fi re as this can cause them to explode!
• Humid or wet batteries must not be charged or used in the camera
under any circumstances.
• Always ensure that the battery contacts are clean and freely acces-
sible. 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.
