If a battery is dropped, check the casing and the contacts immedi-
ately for any damage. Using a damaged battery can damage the
camera.
If the battery causes noise, is discolored, deformed or overheated,
or if any fluid leaks out, it must be removed from the camera or
charger immediately and replaced. Continued use of the battery
can cause overheating, and a risk of re and/or explosion.
If liquid is leaking or you smell burning, keep the batteries away
from heat sources. Leaked fluid can catch fire.
Only the charger specified and described in these instructions, or
chargers specified and described by Leica Camera AG, may be
used. The use of other chargers that are not approved by Leica
Camera AG can cause damage to the batteries and, in extreme
cases, serious or life-threatening injuries.
• The charger supplied should be used exclusively for charging this
battery type. Do not attempt to use it for other purposes.
Ensure that the power socket used is freely accessible.
Heat is generated during charging. Therefore, the batteries must
not be charged in small, sealed, i.e. unventilated, spaces.
The battery and charger must not be opened. Repairs may only be
carried out by authorized service centers.
Make sure that the batteries are kept out of reach of children.
Swallowing batteries can cause suffocation.
Dispose of used batteries according to the respective information
in these instructions.
First aid:
If battery fluid comes into contact with the eyes, there is a risk of
blinding. Immediately wash the eyes thoroughly with clean water.
Do not rub the eyes. Seek medical attention right away.
If leaked fluid gets onto the skin or clothing, there is a risk of injury.
Wash the affected areas with clean water. Medical treatment is not
required.
