Charging The Battery - Leica T Anleitung

CHARGING THE BATTERY

EN
The Leica T is powered by a Lithium ion battery. It can be charged
while inserted in the camera using the USB cable supplied or
outside the camera using the charger supplied.
Caution:
• Only the battery type specified and described in this manual,
and/or battery types specified and described by Leica Camera
AG, may be used in this camera.
• This battery may only be used in the units for which it is
designed and may only be charged exactly as described.
• Using this battery contrary to the instructions and using non-
specified battery types can result in an explosion under certain
circumstances.
• Batteries may not be exposed to sunlight, heat, humidity or
condensation for long periods. To prevent a risk of fire or
explosion, batteries may not be placed in a microwave oven or a
pressurized container.
• Never throw batteries into a fire as this can cause them to
explode.
• Humid or wet batteries may not be charged or used in the
camera under any circumstances.
• Always ensure that the battery contacts are clean and freely
accessible.
• Whilst lithium ion batteries are proof against short circuits, they
should still be protected against contact with metal objects such
as paper clips or jewelry. A short-circuited battery can get very
hot and cause severe burns.
• If a battery is dropped, check the casing and the contacts
immediately for any damage. Using a damaged battery can
damage the camera.

• If the battery makes a noise, becomes discolored or deformed,
overheats or leaks any fluid, it must be removed from the
camera and replaced immediately. Continuing to use the battery
can result in overheating, leading to a risk of fire and/or
explosion.
• If any fluid is escaping or a burning smell occurs, keep batteries
away from sources of heat. Leaked fluid can catch fire.
• Only the charger specified and described in this manual, or other
chargers specified and described by Leica Camera AG, may be
used. The use of any other chargers not approved by Leica
Camera AG can cause damage to the battery and, in extreme
cases, 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.
• Ensure that the mains outlet used is freely accessible.
• Heat is generated during charging. Therefore, charging should
not be carried out in small, enclosed - i.e. unventilated - spaces.
• The battery and charger may not be opened. Repairs may only
be carried out by authorized workshops.
• Make sure that batteries are kept out of reach of children.
Swallowing batteries brings a risk of suffocation.
Dispose of used batteries in line with the information provided
in this manual.
