IMPORTANT INFORMATION

IMPORTANT NOTES REGARDING THE USE OF

EN

THERMAL IMAGING CAMERAS

GENERAL INFORMATION
· You should not disassemble, reassemble, or repair Leica Calonox 2. Repairs must only be carried out in authorized workshops.
· Cold temperatures reduce battery performance. Therefore, if the ambient temperature is low, the device should be worn as close to the body as possible and operated with a new battery.
· Do not touch the glass surfaces with your fingers, especially if you have used hand cream, insect repellent, or similar. These products may contain chemicals that damage or destroy the coating of the glass surfaces.
MEASURED VALUES
· Especially at long distances, the impact of all ballistically relevant factors increases significantly and considerable deviations can occur.

LEGAL RESTRICTIONS ON USE
In Germany · The use of thermal imaging cameras in the form of attachments
is subject to weapons or hunting permits and other restrictions, which may differ from region to region. Please make sure to request relevant information about their use from local authorities.
Outside of Germany · The use of thermal imaging devices and associated technolo-
gies may be restricted in some countries or regions. You should therefore contact your travel agent or the embassy of your destination country for relevant information beforehand. Violations will be prosecuted by local authorities.

· Regardless of how this information is used, you are responsible for assessing the respective hunting situation.
· Strong electromagnetic fields, such as those emitted from radar systems, can cause interference and/or incorrect values.
· The earth’s magnetic field can also cause deviations in the values.

IMPORTANT NOTES REGARDING THE USE OF WLAN/BLUETOOTH® (CONNECTING TO THE LEICA 2HUNT APP)
See page 32 for instructions how to connect to the Leica 2Hunt app.

· Appropriate measures must be taken to ensure security and protect against disruptions to the systems in place where devices or computer systems are in use that require more stringent security than WLAN devices.

· Leica Camera AG shall not accept liability for damages arising from the use of the camera for purposes other than as a WLAN device.

commercial use.

HUNTING ETHICS AND LEICA THERMAL IMAGING CAMERAS

For some Leica products, we offer an extension of the warranty period if you register a Leica account with us. Details can be found on our website at www. leica-camera.com.

We will only hunt wild boar and predators at night.
We will hunt wild boar predominantly in areas of agricultural damage, but not in their habitats and refuge areas in the forest.
We use the technology for monitoring and documentation purposes, and not just for detection.
We want to improve the hunt by helping hunters more easily, and with greater accuracy, observe, identify, and evaluate game to prevent the shooting of the wrong type of animal.
We use these new dynamics driven by technology for exciting hunting experiences while we track the game, and also help prevent damage caused by game.

SCOPE OF THE LEICA WARRANTY
During the warranty period, claims based on manufacturing and material defects will be rectified free of charge, at LEICA’s discretion, by repair, replacement of defective parts, or exchange for a similar Leica product in perfect condition.

EN CALIBRATING (NON-UNIFORMITY CORRECTION) CORRECTING PIXEL ERRORS

Non-uniformity correction is a procedure for improving the image quality. Without non-uniformity correction, the image quality would decrease as the operating time of the thermal imaging camera increases because of the noise emitted by the sensor itself. The device has an automatic non-uniformity correction function. If you feel that the image quality is deteriorating, you can correct non-uniformity manually.
To calibrate manually

CARE/CLEANING

EN

· Your Leica product requires no special care.
· Coarse dirt particles like sand can be removed with a soft brush or simply blown off.
· Fingerprints, etc. on front lenses and eyepiece lenses can be pre-cleaned with a damp cloth and then wiped dry with a clean leather or lint-free cloth.
· The device should be stored in a well-ventilated, dry and cool place to prevent fungal growth (particularly important in humid climates).
· Do not use alcohol or chemical cleaning solutions on the optics or housing.
· Do not use excessive force when cleaning a severely soiled lens surface. The coating is abrasion resistant, but not impervious to sand or salt crystals.
· The housing should be cleaned using a damp leather cloth only. Using a dry cloth may cause friction, which may result in a static discharge.
· Always rinse off any traces of salt water! Dried salt crystals could damage the surfaces.
