SAFETY REMARKS
GENERAL INFORMATION
• Do not use your device in the immediate vicinity of devices with powerful magnetic, electrostatic
or electromagnetic fields (e.g. induction ovens, microwave ovens, television sets or computer
screens, video game consoles, cell phones, broadcasting equipment). Their electromagnetic fields
can interfere with recordings.
• Image recording may be affected if you place the device on a television set or operate it in close
proximity of a TV or near a cell phone.
• Strong magnetic fields, e.g. from speakers or large electric motors can damage the stored picture
data or disrupt recording.
• Do not use the device in the immediate vicinity of radio transmitters or high-voltage power lines.
Their electromagnetic fields may interfere with recordings.
• Do not attempt to remove parts of the housing (covers) yourself. Repairs must be done at
authorized service centers only.
• The device must not come into contact with insect repellent sprays or other aggressive chemicals.
Petroleum spirit, thinner and alcohol must not be used for cleaning. Some chemicals and liquids
may damage the device housing or its surface coating.
EYEPIECE
• An eyepiece can have the effect of a magnifying glass when exposed to direct frontal sunlight. The
device must therefore be protected against extended exposure to direct sunlight. Storing the
device in the shade or ideally in its case will help prevent damage to the device interior.
SENSOR
• Cosmic radiation (e.g. during flights) may cause pixel defects.
CARRY STRAP
• Once you have attached the carry strap, please make sure that the clips are mounted correctly to
prevent the device falling.
• The carry strap is usually made of very robust material. You should therefore keep it out of the
reach of children. A carry strap is not a toy and poses a strangulation risk.
• The carry strap should only be used for their intended purpose. Any other use poses the risk of
injury and may possibly result in damage to the carry strap and is therefore not permitted.
• Carry straps should never be used for cameras/binoculars during sports activities that pose a risk
of entanglement (e.g. when mountain climbing and similar outdoor activities).

WARRANTY
In addition to your statutory warranty rights from your dealer, Leica Camera AG offers a 3-year
warranty for this Leica product in accordance with the conditions started below. The Leica warranty
does not impact on any statutory consumer rights in accordance with relevant national law or any
consumer rights vis-a-vis the retailer arising from the purchase contract concluded between them.
WARRANTY CONDITIONS
By purchasing this Leica thermal imaging camera, you have acquired a product that is manufactured
in compliance with special quality standards, and which was thoroughly tested at each individual
production step by experienced specialists. Our three-year warranty for this product commences on
the date of sale by an authorized retailer under the following conditions:
1. In case of a complaint due to a manufacturing fault, we will assume all material costs during the
warranty period. We shall decide at our own discretion to repair the faulty product, to replace
faulty parts or to replace the entire product with a faultless product of the same type. All other
claims of any kind and on whatever legal basis shall not be accepted in connection with this
warranty.
2. Wear parts like eyecups, leather details, armoring, carry straps and accessories are exempt from
the warranty. The same applies for surface damage.
3. Any warranty claims become void if the defect in question is a result of improper handling –
which also includes the use of third-party accessories – or if the product was manipulated by
unauthorized persons or workshops or if the serial number of the product was rendered illegible.
4. Warranty claims can be submitted only in conjunction with the original proof of purchase – com-
plete with the date of purchase, as well as the address and signature of an authorized retailer.
5. In case of a warranty claim, please send the Leica product, the original proof of purchase and a
description of the fault to Leica Camera AG Customer Care or a Leica regional subsidiary.
