∫ Charging
•
The battery is not charged when the camera is shipped. Charge the
battery before use.

• It is recommended to charge the battery in a temperature between
10
o C to 30 o C (50 o F to 86 o F). (The battery temperature should also be the

It has been found that counterfeit battery packs which look very similar
to the genuine product are made available to purchase in some
markets. Some of these battery packs are not adequately protected
with internal protection to meet the requirements of appropriate safety
standards. There is a possibility that these battery packs may lead to
fire or explosion. Please be advised that we are not liable for any
accident or failure occurring as a result of use of a counterfeit battery
pack. To ensure safe operation we urgently recommend to use only the
Leica battery BP-DC9 E/U (>50).
Insert the battery into the
charger.
• The terminals should face the charger’s
contacts and the Leica logo upwards.
