REGULATORY INFORMATION

SAFETY REMARKS

GENERAL INFORMATION

• Do not use your device in the immediate vicinity of devices with powerful magnetic, electrostatic or electromagnetic fields (e.g. induction ovens, microwave ovens, television sets or computer screens, video game consoles, cell phones, broadcasting equipment). Their electromagnetic fields can interfere with recordings.
• Image recording may be affected if you place the device on a television set or operate it in close proximity of a TV or near a cell phone.
• Strong magnetic fields, e.g. from speakers or large electric motors can damage the stored picture data or disrupt recording.
• Do not use the device in the immediate vicinity of radio transmitters or high-voltage power lines. Their electromagnetic fields may interfere with recordings.
• Do not attempt to remove parts of the housing (covers) yourself. Repairs must be done at authorized service centers only.
• The device must not come into contact with insect repellent sprays or other aggressive chemicals. Petroleum spirit, thinner and alcohol must not be used for cleaning. Some chemicals and liquids may damage the device housing or its surface coating.

EYEPIECE

• An eyepiece can have the effect of a magnifying glass when exposed to direct frontal sunlight. The device must therefore be protected against extended exposure to direct sunlight. Storing the device in the shade or ideally in its case will help prevent damage to the device interior.

SENSOR

• Cosmic radiation (e.g. during flights) may cause pixel defects.

CARRY STRAP

• Once you have attached the carry strap, please make sure that the clips are mounted correctly to prevent the device falling.
• The carry strap is usually made of very robust material. You should therefore keep it out of the reach of children. A carry strap is not a toy and poses a strangulation risk.
• The carry strap should only be used for their intended purpose. Any other use poses the risk of injury and may possibly result in damage to the carry strap and is therefore not permitted.
• Carry straps should never be used for cameras/binoculars during sports activities that pose a risk of entanglement (e.g. when mountain climbing and similar outdoor activities).

WARRANTY

In addition to your statutory warranty rights from your dealer, Leica Camera AG offers a 3-year warranty for this Leica product in accordance with the conditions started below. The Leica warranty does not impact on any statutory consumer rights in accordance with relevant national law or any consumer rights vis-a-vis the retailer arising from the purchase contract concluded between them.

2. Wear parts like eyecups, leather details, armoring, carry straps and accessories are exempt from the warranty. The same applies for surface damage.
3. Any warranty claims become void if the defect in question is a result of improper handling – which also includes the use of third-party accessories – or if the product was manipulated by unauthorized persons or workshops or if the serial number of the product was rendered illegible.
4. Warranty claims can be submitted only in conjunction with the original proof of purchase – complete with the date of purchase, as well as the address and signature of an authorized retailer.
