WARNING MESSAGES
Modern electronic components react sensitively to electrostatic
discharge. As you can easily pick up charges of tens of thousands of
volts by walking on synthetic carpets, for example, a discharge can
occur when you touch your Leica S, particularly if it is lying on a con-
ductive surface. If only the camera body is touched, this discharge is
harmless to the electronics. However, despite built-in safety circuits,
outer contacts such as those in the bottom of the camera should not
be touched if at all possible for safety reasons.
For any cleaning of the contacts, please do not use an optical microfi-
ber cloth (synthetic); use a cotton or linen cloth instead! Before touch-
ing the contacts, you can make sure you discharge any electrostatic
charge by deliberately touching a heating or water pipe (conductive,
earthed material). You can also avoid soiling and oxidization of the
contacts by storing your Leica S in a dry place with the lens or bayonet
cover fitted!
Use only the recommended accessories to prevent faults, short cir-
cuits or electric shock.
The Leica S is protected against spray water and dust. However, it
should not be exposed to rain for prolonged periods.
Do not attempt to remove parts of the body (covers); qualified repairs
can be carried out only at authorized service centers.

DISPOSAL OF ELECTRICAL AND
ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT

This costs you nothing. If the device itself contains replaceable (recharge-
able) batteries, these must be removed first and, if necessary, also be
disposed of in line with the relevant regulations.

tion, your local waste collection company, or in the store where you
purchased this device.
