PRECAUTIONS AND CARE INSTRUCTIONS

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS

Do not use the Leica X-E in the immediate vicinity of devices with powerful
magnetic, electrostatic or electromagnetic fields (e.g. induction ovens, micro-
wave ovens, television sets or computer monitors, video game consoles, cell
phones, radio equipment).
• If you place the Leica X-E on or very close to a television set, its magnetic
field could interfere with picture recordings.
• The same applies for use in the vicinity of cell phones.
• Strong magnetic fields, e.g. from speakers or large electric motors, can
damage the stored data or the pictures.
• If the Leica X-E malfunctions due to the effects of electromagnetic fields,
remove the battery and then switch the camera on again.
Do not use the Leica X-E in the immediate vicinity of radio transmitters or
high-voltage power lines.
• Their magnetic fields can also interfere with picture recordings.
Protect the Leica X-E from contact with insect sprays and other aggressive
chemicals. Petroleum spirit, thinner and alcohol may not be used for cleaning.
• Certain chemicals and liquids can damage the Leica X-E body or the surface
finish.
• As rubber and plastics sometimes emit aggressive chemicals, they should
not remain in contact with the Leica X-E for extended periods.
Ensure that sand and dust cannot get into the Leica X-E, e.g. on the beach.
• Sand and dust can damage the camera and the memory card. Take particu-
lar care when inserting and removing the card.
Ensure that water cannot get into the Leica X-E, e.g. when it is snowing or
raining and on the beach.
• Moisture can cause malfunctions and even permanent damage to the Leica X-E
and the memory card.
• If salt water spray gets onto the Leica X-E, wet a soft cloth with tap water,
wring it out thoroughly and wipe the camera with it. Then wipe down thor-
oughly with a dry cloth.
Important:
Only the accessories specified and described in these instructions, and/or
those specified and described by Leica Camera AG, may be used with this
camera.
MONITOR
• If the Leica X-E is exposed to significant temperature fluctuations, condensation
can form on the monitor. Wipe it carefully with a soft dry cloth.
• If the Leica X-E is very cold when switched on, the monitor will initially be
slightly darker than normal. It will revert to its normal brightness once it has
warmed up.
• The monitor is manufactured using a high-precision process. This ensures
that, of the total of around 230,000 pixels, more than 99.995% work correctly
and only 0.005% remain dark or are always light. However, this is not a malfunc-
tion and it does not impair the reproduction of the picture.
