LEICA Q3 Digital Camera - Manual (Page 6)

• When a battery is accidentally dropped, make sure to check the housing and the contacts immediately
for any damage. A damaged battery can damage the camera.
• The battery must be removed from the camera or charger and must be replaced immediately in case of
a strange smell, discoloration, deformation, overheating or leakage. Continued use of the battery may
result in overheating, which can cause fire and/or explosion!
• Never throw batteries into a fire as they may explode.
• Keep the battery away from sources of heat in case of leakage 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
service centers.
• Keep batteries out of the reach of children. Batteries can cause suffocation when swallowed.
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.
MEMORY CARD
• Never remove the memory card during a data save or card reading process. The camera must not be
switched off or be subjected to impact or vibrations while working.
• Do not open the cover/remove the memory card or the battery from the camera while the status LED is
lit, which indicates memory access. Data on the card may otherwise be destroyed and camera malfunc-
tions may occur.
• Do not drop or bend memory cards as this will cause damage and result in the loss of stored data.
• Do not touch the connections on the reverse of the memory card and keep them clean and dry.
• Keep memory cards out of the reach of children. Swallowing a memory card may cause suffocation.
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 camera from falling.
• Carry straps are 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.
• Use the carry strap only for its intended purpose on a camera or on binoculars. 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 also not be used for cameras/binoculars during sports activities that pose a risk of
entanglement (e.g. when mountain climbing and similar outdoor activities).
