Leica SOFORT 2 Instrucciones Abreviadas página 15

• Do not attempt to remove parts of the housing (covers)
yourself. Repairs must be done at authorized service centers
only.
• Prevent any sand or dust or water penetration into the cam-
era, e.g. during snowfall or rain or on the beach. Be extra
careful when changing the lens (in system cameras) and
when inserting or removing the memory card and recharge-
able battery. Sand and dust can damage the camera, the
lens, the memory card and the battery. Moisture can cause
malfunctions and irreparable damage to the camera and
memory card.
LENS
• A camera lens can have the effect of a magnifying glass
when exposed to direct frontal sunlight. The camera must
therefore be protected against extended exposure to direct
sunlight. Attaching the lens cap and keeping the camera
in the shade or ideally in its camera case, will help prevent
damage to the interior of the camera.
RECHARGEABLE BATTERY
• New batteries must be charged before initial use to be ready
for activation in the camera. A full charge is recommended,
as the batteries are delivered in an only partially charged
state.
• Never throw batteries into a fire as they may explode.
• Keep the battery away from sources of heat in case of leak-
age or if you smell burning. Leaked fluid can catch fire!
• The use of other chargers not approved by Leica Camera AG
can cause damage to the batteries – and in extreme cases –
cause serious or life-threatening injuries.
• Make sure that the power socket is freely accessible at all
times.
• Do not attempt to open the battery or the charger. Repairs
must only be carried out by authorized workshops.
FIRST AID
• Battery fluid may cause blindness if it comes into contact with
the eyes. Rinse the eyes thoroughly with clean water immedi-
ately. Avoid rubbing. Seek medical attention immediately.
• Leaked battery fluid poses an injury hazard when it comes in
contact with clothing or skin. Rinse the affected areas thor-
oughly with clean water.
CHARGER
• Using the charger in the vicinity of broadcasting receivers
may interfere with reception. Ensure a distance of at least
1 m between the charger and the receiver.
• When the charger is in use, it may emit a buzzing sound –
that is normal and not a malfunction.
• Disconnect the charger from the mains when it is not in use,
as it consumes electricity (a very small amount), even if no
battery is inserted.
• Always keep the charger contacts clean, and never short-
circuit them.
