LEICA M6 Rangefinder Camera - Manual (Page 7)

SAFETY REMARKS 7
• Keep the battery away from sources of heat in case of leakage or if
you smell burning. Leaked fluid can catch fire!
• Keep batteries out of the reach of children. Batteries can cause
suffocation when swallowed. A swallowed battery can additionally
cause severe internal injuries or death.
• Call emergency services immediately if you think your child has
swallowed or eaten a coin battery.
• Inspect the product regularly and ensure that the battery compart-
ment is correctly latched. Do not use the product if the battery
compartment is not sufficiently secured.
• Dispose of depleted batteries safely and immediately, keeping
them out of the reach of children. A battery can still be hazardous,
even if it can no longer power the device.
FIRST AID
• Battery fluid may cause blindness if it comes into contact with
the eyes. Rinse the eyes thoroughly with clean water immedi-
ately. Avoid rubbing. Seek medical attention immediately.
• Leaked battery fluid poses an injury hazard when it comes in
contact with clothing or skin. Rinse the affected areas thor-
oughly with clean water.
CARRY STRAP
• Carry straps are 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.
• Use the carry strap only for its intended purpose on a camera
or on binoculars. 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 also not be used for cameras/binoculars
during sports activities that pose a risk of entanglement (e.g. when
mountain climbing and similar outdoor activities).
TRIPOD
• When using a tripod, make sure it is standing securely and turn the
camera only by turning the tripod, not the actual camera. Ensure
that the tripod screw is hand-tightened only. Avoid transporting
the camera while the tripod is attached. You might injure yourself
or others and the camera could get damaged.
FLASH
• The use of incompatible flash units with your Leica M6 may result
in irreparable damage to the camera and/or the flash unit.
