WARNINg MESSAgES
• Modern electronic elements react sensitively to electrostatic
discharge. As people can easily pick up charges of tens of
thousands of volts, by walking on synthetic carpets for example, a
discharge can occur when you touch your Leica M, particularly if it
is placed on a conductive surface. If only the camera housing is
affected, this discharge is harmless to the electronics. However,
despite built-in safety circuits, the outer contacts, such as the
battery or rear panel contacts, should not be touched if at all
possible for safety reasons.
• For any cleaning of the contacts, do not use an optical micro-fiber
cloth (synthetic); use a cotton or linen cloth instead. Before
touching the contacts, you can make sure you discharge any
electrostatic charge by deliberately touching a heating or water
pipe (conductive, earthed material). You can also avoid soiling and
oxidization of the contacts by storing your Leica M in a dry place
with the lens or bayonet cover fitted.
• You should use only the recommended accessories to prevent
faults, short circuits or electric shock.
• Do not attempt to remove parts of the body (covers); specialist
repairs can be carried out only at authorized service centers.
