Care Instructions - Leica TL2 Anleitung

EN Picture sensor
• Cosmic radiation (e.g. during flights) can cause pixel defects.
Condensation
If condensation has formed on or in the camera, you should turn it
off and leave it to stand at room temperature for around an hour.
Once the camera temperature has adjusted to room temperature,
the condensation will disappear by itself.

Care instructions

• As any soiling also represents a growth medium for microorgan-
isms, you should take care to keep the equipment clean.
For the camera
• Only clean the camera with a soft, dry cloth. Stubborn dirt
should first of all be covered with a well-thinned cleaning agent
and then wiped off with a dry cloth.
• To remove marks and fingerprints, wipe the camera with a clean
lint-free cloth. Tougher dirt in hard to reach corners of the
camera body can be removed with a small brush.
• All mechanically operated bearings and sliding surfaces on your
camera are lubricated. Please remember this if you will not be
using the camera for a long period of time. To prevent the lubri-
cation points becoming gummed up, the camera shutter should
be operated several times every three months. We also recom-
mend repeated adjustment and use of the setting dials.

For lenses
• Normally, a soft hair brush is sufficient to remove dust from the
outer lens elements. However, in case of more stubborn dirt,
they can be carefully cleaned with a very clean, soft cloth that is
completely free of foreign matter, using circular motions from
the inside to the outside. We recommend micro-fiber cloths
(available from photographic and optical specialists) that are
stored in a protective container and can be washed at tempera-
tures of up to 40°C/104°F (without fabric softener, never iron!).
Cloths for cleaning spectacles that are impregnated with chemi-
cals should not be used as they can damage the lens glass.
• The lens hood supplied also protects the lens from unintentional
fingerprints and the rain.
For the battery
Rechargeable lithium ion batteries generate power through internal
chemical reactions. This reaction is influenced by ambient temper-
ature and humidity. Very high or low temperatures reduce the life
of the battery.
• Always remove the battery if you will not be using the camera for
a long period of time, As otherwise it could become totally
discharged after several weeks, i.e. its voltage drops to a very
low level.
• Lithium ion batteries should only be stored partly charged, i.e.
not when fully discharged or fully charged. For very long storage
periods, the battery should be charged for around 15 minutes
twice a year to prevent total discharge.
