This charger operates on AC between 110 V and 240 V. But

In the U.S.A. and Canada, the charger must be connected to a 120 V

AC power supply only.

When connecting to an AC supply outside of the U.S.A. or Canada, use a plug adapter to suit the AC outlet configuration.

The battery charger is in the standby condition when the AC power supply cord is connected. The primary circuit is always “live” as long as the power cord is connected to an electrical outlet.

Do not use any other USB connection cables except the supplied one (→45).

Do not use any other HDMI mini cable except the Leica model (available as accessory, →45).

Keep this camera as far away as possible from electromagnetic equipment (such as microwave ovens, TVs, video games etc.).

If you use this camera on top of or near a TV, the pictures and/or sound on this camera may be disrupted by electromagnetic wave radiation.

Do not use this camera near cell phones because doing so may result in noise adversely affecting the pictures and/or sound.

Recorded data may be damaged, or pictures may be distorted by strong magnetic fields created by speakers or large motors.

Electromagnetic wave radiation generated by microprocessors may adversely affect this camera, disturbing the pictures and/or sound.

If this camera is adversely affected by electromagnetic equipment and stops

functioning properly, turn it off and remove the battery. Then reinsert the battery and turn the camera back on.

Do not use this camera near radio transmitters or high-voltage lines.

If you record near radio transmitters or high-voltage lines, the recorded pictures and/or sound may be adversely affected.

Touch operations

This camera’s monitor surface senses pressure that is applied to it.

Touch

To “touch” is to press the monitor’s surface and then pull the finger back again.

Touching is used to select icons or pictures, among other actions.

Touch an icon near its center. If multiple icons are touched simultaneously, the camera may not operate normally.

Drag

To “drag” is to touch and slide your finger across the monitor’s surface.

Dragging (sliding your finger across the monitor’s surface) is used to scroll the pictures or change the range of the pictures displayed.

48

If you want to use one of the protective foils available on the market on the monitor, observe the precautions that are contained with the foil.

(Some types may impair the monitor’s visual recognition and ease of operation.)

If the camera is used with such a foil resulting in the monitor not being very responsive, apply a little more pressure.

If you apply pressure to the monitor’s surface with your hand when holding the camera, it will not work properly.

Do not use objects with hard pointed tips (such as ball point pens or your fingernails) instead of the supplied touch pen.

Clean the monitor with a soft dry cloth if there are fingerprints or other kinds of dirt on it.

Touch pen

The touch pen (supplied) comes in handy when doing the kinds of jobs that require close or careful operation and your fingertips are too large to perform the operations easily.

Do not use any other pen than the supplied one.

Keep the touch pen out of the reach of infants and small children.

Do not place the touch pen on the monitor when storing. The monitor may break when the touch pen is pressed strongly against it.
