WARNING MESSAGES
-

when you touch your Leica X2, particularly if it is placed on a conductive
surface. If only the camera housing is affected, this discharge is harm-
less 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 contacts, you can make sure you discharge
any electrostatic charge by deliberately touching a heating or water pipe
of the contacts by storing your Leica X2 in a dry place with the lens cap
attached.

While lithium ion batteries are proof against short circuits, they should still
be protected against contact with metal objects such as paper clips or jew-
