For The Charger; For Memory Cards - Leica M9 Anleitung

FOR The ChARgeR

• If the charger is used in the vicinity of radio
re ceivers, it can interfere with the reception; make
sure there is a distance of at least 1 m between the
devices.
• When the charger is in use, it can make a noise
(buzzing) – this is quite normal and is not a mal­
function.
• When it is not in use, disconnect the charger from
the mains as otherwise it uses a certain (very small)
amount of power even when no battery is inserted
in it.
• Always keep the charger contacts clean, and never
short circuit them.
• The supplied in-car charging cable must not be
at tached as long as the charger is connected
to the mains.
• Make sure the charger is stored only at tempera­
tures from -40 to +70°C (-40 to 158°F)

FOR MeMORy CARDS

• While a picture is being stored or the memory card
is being read, it may not be removed, nor may the
Leica M9 be switched off or exposed to vibrations.
• For safety, memory cards should only ever be
stored in the antistatic cover supplied.
• Do not store memory cards where they will be
ex posed to high temperatures, direct sunlight,
magnetic fields or static discharge.
• Do not drop or bend a memory card as this can
damage it and result in loss of the stored data.
• Always remove the memory card if you will not be
using the Leica M9 for a long period of time.
• Do not touch the connections on the rear of the
memory card and keep them free of dirt, dust and
moisture.
• It is recommended that the memory card be refor­
matted from time to time, as fragmentation occurs
when deleting, which can block some of the memory
capacity.
Notes:
• Simple formatting does not initially cause the data
on the card to be irretrievably lost. only the direc­
tory is deleted, which means that the existing files
are no longer directly accessible. The data can be
accessed again using appropriate software.
only the data that is then overwritten by saving
new data is actually permanently deleted.
You should nevertheless get into the habit of trans­
ferring all your pictures onto a secure bulk storage
medium, e.g. the hard drive on your computer, as
soon as possible. This is especially important in
case the camera is handed over to a service facility
along with the memory card.
• Depending on the memory card used, formatting
can take up to 3 minutes.
