Warning messages
•
Modern electronic components react sensitively to electrostatic discharge.
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 X1, particularly if it is placed on a conductive surface.
If only the camera housing is affected, this discharge is harmless to the
electronics. 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-fiber 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 X1 in a dry place with the lens or bayonet cover fitted.
• You should exclusively use the recommended accessories to prevent
faults, short circuits or electric shock.
• Do not attempt to remove parts of the body (covers); specialist repairs
can be carried out only at authorized service centers.

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 should
therefore not be disposed of in general household waste! Instead it should
be disposed of at a recycling collection point provided by the local author-
ity. 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.
