Always ensure that the battery contacts are clean and freely accessible.

While lithium ion batteries are proof against short circuits, they should still be protected against contact with metal objects such as paper clips or jew- elry. A short-circuited battery can get very hot and cause severe burns.

If a battery is dropped, check the casing and the contacts immediately for any damage. Using a damaged battery can damage the Leica X2.

Batteries have only a limited service life.

Take damaged batteries to a collection point to ensure correct recycling.

Never throw batteries into a fire as this can cause them to explode.

For the charger

If the charger is used in the vicinity of radio receivers, it can interfere with the reception; make sure there is a distance of at least 1m between the devices.

When the charger is in use, it can make a noise (buzzing) – this is quite nor- mal and is not a malfunction.

When it is not in use, disconnect the charger from the mains as otherwise it uses a certain (very small) amount of power even when no battery is inserted in it.

Always keep the charger contacts clean, and never short circuit them.

For memory cards

While a picture is being stored or the memory card is being read, it may not be removed, nor may the Leica X2 be switched off or exposed to vibrations.

For safety, memory cards should only ever be stored in the antistatic cover supplied.

Do not store memory cards where they will be exposed to high tempera- tures, direct sunlight, magnetic fields or static discharge.

Do not drop or bend a memory card as this can damage it and result in loss of the stored data.

Always remove the memory card if you will not be using the Leica X2 for a long period of time.

Do not touch the connections on the rear of the memory card and keep them free of dirt, dust and moisture.

It is recommended that the memory card be reformatted from time to time, as fragmentation occurs when deleting, which can block some of the memory capacity.
