Preparations
Caution:
• Only the battery type specified and described in this manual
(Order No. 14 499), or battery types specified and described by
Leica Camera AG, may be used in this camera.
• These batteries may only be used in the units for which they are
designed and may only be charged exactly as described below.
• Using this battery contrary to the instructions and using non-
specified battery types can result in an explosion under certain
circumstances!
• The batteries must not be exposed to heat or sunlight for pro-
longed periods, or to humidity or moisture. Likewise, the batter-
ies must not be placed in a microwave oven or a high pressure
container as this results in a risk of fire or explosion!
• A safety valve in the battery guarantees that any excess pres-
sure caused by improper handling is discharged safely.
• Only the charger specified and described in this manual (order
no. 14 494) is to be used. The use of other chargers not
approved by Leica Camera AG can cause damage to the batter-
ies and, in extreme cases, can cause 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.
• The car charging cable supplied must never be connected while
the charger is connected to the mains.
• Ensure that the mains outlet used for charging is freely accessi-
ble.
• The battery and charger must not be opened. Repairs may only
be carried out by authorized service centers.
