xvi Safety Precautions

Caring for the Leaf Aptus Digital Camera Back

Figure 1: Protective IR filter glass on the underside of the Leaf Aptus digital

camera back

Do not expose the Leaf Aptus digital camera back to extreme temperature

conditions, below 0°C/ 32°F or above 40°C/104°F.

Do not expose the Leaf Aptus digital camera back to extreme humidity.

Operate the Leaf Apus only when the relative humidity is between 15% to

85%.

WARNING: Never open or disassemble any of the Leaf Aptus digital camera

back parts, in particular the protective infrared (IR) filter glass.

Note: For information about cleaning the protective IR filter glass, see

Chapter 12, “Caring for the IR Filter Glass”.

Battery Label Caution Statement xvii

Battery Label Caution Statement

The battery label caution statement is located on each battery.

Use the battery with the Leaf Aptus digital camera back only. The battery

should not be used with other devices.

Charger Safety Information

•Do not use this charger for charging battery packs other than a lithium

ion battery pack for an Aptus digital camera back. A fire or explosion

may result.

•Never disassemble or modify the charger in any way.

•Keep the charger free from moisture and water.

•Do not drop your charger, or give it a strong shock or vibration.

•Never apply excessive force when connecting or disconnecting the

battery.

•Avoid direct sunlight or high temperatures (e.g. inside a car with

closed windows.) This may cause deformation, discoloration and

malfunction.

•Do not expose to excessive heat or naked flame.

•Lithium battery packs are small yet have a large power capacity.

However, if exposed to extreme cold (below 10°C/50°F), the effective

operational time decreases significantly. Exposure to temperatures

WARNING: Battery can explode, leak, or catch on fire if exposed to high

temperatures or fire, if opened, or if disassembled.

WARNING: Battery may explode or release toxic chemicals if disposed in fire.

Use specified power supply and battery only. To prevent injury or burns, do not

allow metal objects to contact the charger terminals. There are no user-

serviceable parts. Do not disassemble.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove cover (or back).

No user serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.

xviii Safety Precautions

below 0°C/32°F will render the battery inoperative. If you are planning

to shoot in an environment at these temperatures, carry the battery

pack in a pocket to keep it warm, then attach it just prior to shooting.

•Carry the battery pack in a plastic bag when transporting it.

•If the surrounding temperature is low during recharging, recharging

may take longer, or may not work at all. It is recommended that you

recharge the battery pack at room temperature (10°C to 30°C).

•Do not short circuit; may cause burns.

•Keep the charger out of reach of children.

•Once charging is complete, unplug the charger from power source.

•Only use original mains adaptor 12V DC or car lead to power the

charger.

•Keep all contacts clean.

•Do not force any of the contacts.

•Never store the battery connected to the charger for an extensive

period of time.

Précautions pour le dos numérique Leaf Aptus

Figure 1: verre filtrant IR sur le côté inférieur du dos numérique Leaf Aptus

Ne pas exposer le dos numérique Leaf Aptus à des températures extrêmes,

au-dessous de 0°C/32°F ou au-dessus de 40°C/104°F.

Ne pas exposer le dos numérique Leaf Aptus à un fort taux d’humidité.

Faire fonctionner le Leaf Aptus seulement lorsque l’humidité relative est

comprise entre 15 % et 85 %.

AVERTISSEMENT : ne jamais ouvrir ou démonter les pièces du dos numérique

Leaf Aptus, en particulier le verre filtrant de protection infrarouge (IR).

Remarque : pour plus d’information sur le nettoyage du verre filtrant IR, voir

Caring for the IR Filter Glass (Précautions pour le Verre filtrant IR) page 103 de ce

document.

Précautions d’utilisation de la batteri xxi

Précautions d’utilisation de la batterie

Les précautions d’utilisation de la batterie sont visibles sur chaque batterie.

Utiliser la batterie uniquement avec le dos numérique Leaf Aptus.

La batterie ne doit pas être utilisée avec d’autres périphériques.

Informations relatives à la sécurité du chargeur

•Ne pas utiliser ce chargeur pour recharger des batteries autres qu’un

pack batterie lithium-ion pour dos numérique Aptus. Cela pourrait

provoquer un incendie ou une explosion.

•Ne jamais démonter ou modifier le chargeur.

•Garder le chargeur à l’abri de l’humidité et de l’eau.

•Ne pas laisser tomber votre chargeur, ni l’exposer à une forte secousse

ou vibration.

•Ne jamais déployer une force excessive lorsque vous connectez ou

déconnectez la batterie.

•Eviter une exposition directe au soleil ou à des températures élevées

(par exemple à l’intérieur d’une voiture fenêtres fermées). Cela peut

causer une déformation, une décoloration ou un dysfonctionnement.

•Ne pas exposer à une chaleur excessive ou à une flamme nue.

AVERTISSEMENT : la batterie peut exploser, fuir ou prendre feu si elle est

exposée à des températures élevées ou à une flamme, si elle est ouverte ou

démontée.

AVERTISSEMENT : la batterie peut exploser ou produire des substances

toxiques au contact d’une flamme. N’utiliser que la source d’alimentation et la

batterie spécifiées. Pour éviter blessures ou brûlures, ne jamais mettre en contact

des objets métalliques et les terminaux du chargeur. Aucune pièce n’est

remplaçable par l’utilisateur. Ne pas démonter.

AVERTISSEMENT : pour réduire le risque de choc électrique, ne pas enlever le

couvercle (ou la partie inférieure). Ne contient aucune pièce remplaçable par

l’utilisateur. Contacter le personnel qualifié pour effectuer l’entretien.

xxii Mesures de sécurité

•Les packs de batterie au lithium sont petits mais leur puissance est

importante. Cependant, s’ils sont exposés à une température

excessivement basse (au-dessous de 10°C/50°F), le temps effectif de

fonctionnement diminue considérablement. Une exposition à des

températures inférieures à 0°C/32°F peut rendre la batterie inopérante.

Si vous souhaitez filmer dans un environnement à ces températures,

veuillez conserver la batterie dans une protection pour garder la

chaleur, et la brancher ensuite juste avant de filmer.

•Conserver la batterie dans un sac plastique lors de son transport.

•Si la température extérieure est basse pendant la recharge, celle-ci peut

prendre plus de temps ou ne pas avoir lieu du tout. Il est conseillé de

recharger la batterie à température ambiante normale (de 10°C à

30°C).

•Ne pas créer de court-circuit, cela pourrait provoquer des brûlures.

•Garder le chargeur hors de portée des enfants.

•Une fois la recharge terminée, débrancher le chargeur de la source

d’alimentation.

•Utiliser uniquement un adaptateur réseau 12 V CC d’origine ou un

allume-cigare de voiture pour brancher le chargeur.

•Conserver tous les connecteurs propres.

•Ne forcer aucun connecteur.

•Ne jamais laisser la batterie branchée au chargeur pendant trop

longtemps.
