WARNING MESSAGES
• Modern electronic components react sensitively to electrostatic dis-
charge. As people 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 placed on a conductive surface. If
only the camera housing is affected, this discharge is harmless to the elec-
tronics. However, despite built-in safety circuits, the outer contacts, such
as those on the base of the camera, should not be touched if at all possible
for safety reasons.
• For any cleaning of the contacts, do not use an optical micro-ber cloth
(synthetic); use a cotton or linen cloth instead. Before touching the con-
tacts, you can make sure you discharge any electrostatic charge by delib-
erately 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.
• You should only use the recommended accessories to prevent
faults, short circuits or electric shock.
• The Leica S is protected against splashed water and dust.
However, it should not be continuously exposed to rain.
• Do not attempt to remove parts of the body (covers); specialist repairs can
only be carried out at authorized service centers.
The CE identification of our products documents adherence to
the fundamental requirements of the valid EU guidelines.

DISPOSAL OF ELECTRICAL AND
ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT
(Applies within the EC, and for other European countries with
segregated waste collection systems)
This device contains electrical and/or electronic components and therefore
should not be disposed of in general household waste! Instead it should be
disposed of at a recycling collection point provided by the local authority.
This costs you nothing.
If the device itself contains replaceable (rechargeable) batteries,
these must be removed first and, if necessary, also be disposed of in line with
the relevant regulations. Your local authority or waste disposal authority, or
the store where you bought this device, can provide
you with further information on this issue.
