SAFETY REMARKS
GENERAL INFORMATION
· Do not use your camera in the immediate vicinity of devices that generate powerful magnetic, electrostatic or electromagnetic fields (e.g. induction ovens, microwave ovens, television sets or computer screens, video game consoles, cell phones, broadcasting equipment). Their electromagnetic fields can interfere with image recordings.
· Strong magnetic fields, e.g. from speakers or large electric motors can damage the stored data or disrupt shooting. · Switch off the camera, remove the battery briefly, replace it and switch the camera back on in case of a camera malfunction
due to the effects of electromagnetic fields. · Do not use the camera in the immediate vicinity of radio transmitters or high-voltage power lines. Their electromagnetic
fields may also interfere with image recordings. · Always store small parts e.g. the accessory shoe cover as follows:
­ out of the reach of children ­ in a safe location, where they will not get lost or stolen · State-of-the-art electronic components are sensitive to static discharge. You can easily pick up charges of several 10,000 volts by simply walking on synthetic floor coverings. A static discharge can occur when you touch the camera and especially if it is placed on a conductive surface. A static discharge on the camera housing poses no risk for the electronics. Despite built-in safety circuits, you should avoid direct contact with external camera contacts like those in the flash shoe. · Take care not to soil or scratch the sensor for lens detection in the bayonet. You must similarly prevent direct contact of the bayonet with grains of sand or similar particles, as these could cause irreparable damage. This component must only be cleaned with a dry cloth (in system cameras). · Use a cotton or linen cloth instead of a microfiber cloth from an optician’s (synthetic) when cleaning the contacts. Make sure to discharge any electrostatic charge by deliberately touching a heating or water pipe (conductive, grounded material). Dirt deposits and oxidation on the contacts can be avoided by storing your camera in a dry location with the lens cap and the flash shoe/viewfinder cap (in system cameras) attached. · Only use accessories specified for this model to prevent faults, short circuits or electric shock. · Do not attempt to remove parts of the housing (covers) yourself. Repairs must be done at authorized service centers only. · Protect the camera against contact with insect sprays and other aggressive chemicals. Petroleum spirit, thinner and alcohol must not be used for cleaning. Some chemicals and liquids can damage the camera housing or the surface finish. · Rubber and plastics are known to expel aggressive chemicals and should therefore not be kept in contact with the camera for extended periods of time. · Prevent any sand or dust or water penetration into the camera, e.g. during snowfall or rain or on the beach. Be extra careful when changing the lens (in system cameras) and when inserting or removing the memory card and rechargeable battery. Sand and dust can damage the camera, the lens, the memory card and the battery. Moisture can cause malfunctions and irreparable damage to the camera and memory card.
LENS
· A camera lens can have the effect of a magnifying glass when exposed to direct frontal sunlight. The camera must therefore be protected against extended exposure to direct sunlight.
· Attaching the lens cap and keeping the camera in the shade or ideally in its camera case, will help prevent damage to the interior of the camera.

RECHARGEABLE BATTERY / CHARGER
· A USB-C cable and a suitable power supply unit or the optionally available charger (LEICA BC-SCL7) are needed to charge the battery.
· Use of the rechargeable battery type (BP-SCL7) named and described in this manual is mandatory.
· Improper use of the batteries or the use of unapproved battery types may result in an explosion!
· Do not expose the rechargeable battery to sunlight, heat, humidity or moisture for prolonged periods of time. Likewise, the batteries must not be placed in a microwave oven or a high-pressure container as this would pose a fire or explosion hazard!
· Do not under any circumstances charge or insert a damp or wet battery into the camera!
· Keep the battery contacts clean and easily accessible. Although lithium-ion batteries are secured against short circuits, they should still be prevented from making contact with metal objects like paper clips or jewelry. A short- circuited battery can get very hot and cause severe burns.
· When a battery is accidentally dropped, make sure to check the housing and the contacts immediately for any damage. A damaged battery can damage the camera.
· The battery must be removed from the camera or charger and must be replaced immediately in case of a strange smell, discoloration, deformation, overheating or leakage. Continued use of the battery may result in overheating, which can cause fire and/or explosion!
· Never throw batteries into a fire as they may explode.
· Keep the battery away from sources of heat in case of leakage or if you smell burning. Leaked fluid can catch fire!
· Make sure that the power socket is freely accessible at all times.
· Do not attempt to open the battery or the charger. Repairs must only be carried out by authorized service centers.
· Keep batteries out of the reach of children. Batteries can cause suffocation when swallowed.
· Always keep the charger contacts clean, and never short-circuit them.
· Using a charger in the vicinity of broadcasting receivers may interfere with reception. Ensure a distance of at least 1 m between the charger and the receiver.
· When the charger is in use, it may emit a buzzing sound ­ that is normal and not a malfunction.
· Disconnect the charger from the mains when it is not in use, as it consumes electricity (a very small amount), even if no battery is inserted.
· The battery must have a temperature between +10°C and +30°C for charging (otherwise the charger will not switch on or will switch off again immediately).
· Lithium-ion batteries can be charged at any time, regardless of their current charge level. A partially charged battery will charge to full capacity faster than a fully discharged one.
· The rechargeable batteries come only partly charged ex works and should therefore be charged fully before their first use.
· A new battery only reaches its full capacity after it has been fully charged and ­ by using it in the camera ­ depleted 2 to 3 times. This depletion process should be repeated roughly every 25 cycles.
· Battery and charger heat up during the charging process. That is normal and not a malfunction.
· A flashing charge status indicator when charging commences indicates a fault (e.g. max. charging time is surpassed, voltage or temperature outside permitted parameters or a short-circuit). Disconnect the charger from the mains and remove the battery. Ensure that the above temperature conditions are met and then restart the charging process. Please contact your dealer, the Leica representative in your region or Leica Camera AG if the problem persists.
· Lithium-ion batteries generate power by means of internal chemical reactions. These reactions are influenced by ambient temperature and humidity. Do not expose the battery to extreme temperatures (high or low) for extended periods of time (e.g. in a parked car in the summer or winter) to ensure a maximum service life.

FIRST AID
· Battery fluid may cause blindness if it comes into contact with the eyes. Rinse the eyes thoroughly with clean water immediately. Avoid rubbing. Seek medical attention immediately.
· Leaked battery fluid poses an injury hazard when it comes in contact with clothing or skin. Rinse the affected areas thoroughly with clean water.
MEMORY CARD
· Never remove the memory card during a data save or card reading process. The camera must not be switched off or be subjected to impact or vibrations while working.
· Do not drop or bend memory cards as this will cause damage and result in the loss of stored data. · Do not touch the connections on the reverse of the memory card and keep them clean and dry. · Keep memory cards out of the reach of children. Swallowing a memory card may cause suffocation.
CARRY STRAP
· Once you have attached the carry strap, please make sure that the clips are mounted correctly to prevent the camera from falling.
· Carry straps are usually made of very robust material. You should therefore keep it out of the reach of children. A carry strap is not a toy and poses a strangulation risk.
· Use the carry strap only for its intended purpose on a camera or on binoculars. Any other use poses the risk of injury and may possibly result in damage to the carry strap and is therefore not permitted.
· Carry straps should also not be used for cameras/binoculars during sports activities that pose a risk of entanglement (e.g. when mountain climbing and similar outdoor activities).
DISPOSAL OF ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT
