Precautions and care instructions

General precautions

Do not use the Leica X2 in the immediate vicinity of devices with powerful magnetic, electrostatic or electromagnetic fields (e.g. induction ovens, micro- wave ovens, television sets or computer monitors, video game consoles, cell phones, radio equipment).

If you place the Leica X2 on or very close to a television set, its magnetic field could interfere with picture recordings.

The same applies for use in the vicinity of cell phones.

Strong magnetic fields, e.g. from speakers or large electric motors, can damage the stored data or the pictures.

If the Leica X2 malfunctions due to the effects of electromagnetic fields, remove the battery and then switch the camera on again.

Do not use the Leica X2 in the immediate vicinity of radio transmitters or high-voltage power lines.

Their magnetic fields can also interfere with picture recordings.

Protect the Leica X2 from contact with insect sprays and other aggressive chemicals. Petroleum spirit, thinner and alcohol may not be used for cleaning.

Certain chemicals and liquids can damage the Leica X2 body or the surface finish.

As rubber and plastics sometimes emit aggressive chemicals, they should not remain in contact with the Leica X2 for extended periods.

Ensure that sand and dust cannot get into the Leica X2, e.g. on the beach.

Sand and dust can damage the camera and the memory card. Take particu- lar care when inserting and removing the card.

Ensure that water cannot get into the Leica X2, e.g. when it is snowing or raining and on the beach.

Moisture can cause malfunctions and even permanent damage to the Leica X2 and the memory card.

If salt water spray gets onto the Leica X2, wet a soft cloth with tap water, wring it out thoroughly and wipe the camera with it. Then wipe down thor- oughly with a dry cloth.

Important:

Only the accessories specified and described in these instructions, and/or those specified and described by Leica Camera AG, may be used with this camera.

Monitor

If the Leica X2 is exposed to significant temperature fluctuations, condensation can form on the monitor. Wipe it carefully with a soft dry cloth.

If the Leica X2 is very cold when switched on, the monitor will initially be slightly darker than normal. It will revert to its normal brightness once it has warmed up.

The monitor is manufactured using a high-precision process. This ensures that, of the total of around 230,000 pixels, more than 99.995% work correctly and only 0.005% remain dark or are always light. However, this is not a malfunc- tion and it does not impair the reproduction of the picture.
