Warning messages

•Modern electronic components react sensitively to electrostatic dis- charge. 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 X2, particularly if it is placed on a conductive surface. If only the camera housing is affected, this discharge is harm- less to the electronics. However, despite built-in safety circuits, the outer contacts, such as those on the base of the camera, 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 X2 in a dry place with the lens cap attached.

•You should exclusively use 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.

•Please ensure that you observe copyright laws. The recording and publi- cation of pre-recorded media such as tapes, CDs, or other published or broadcast material may contravene copyright laws.

•This also applies to all of the software supplied.

•The SD, HDMI, and USB logos are registered trademarks.

•Other names, company or product names referred to in this manual are trademarks or registered trademarks of the relevant companies.

Disposal of electrical and electronic equipment

(Applies within the EC, and for other European countries with segregated waste collection systems)

This device contains electrical and/or electronic components and should therefore not be disposed of in general household waste! Instead it should be disposed of at a recycling collection point provided by the local authority. This costs you nothing.

If the device itself contains replaceable (rechargeable) batteries, these must be removed first and, if necessary, also be disposed of in line with the rel- evant regulations.

Your local authority or waste disposal authority, or the store where you bought this device, can provide you with further information on this issue.
