FOR YOUR SAFETY

We have paid close attention to the safety of this product. When using this product, we request your special attention regarding items marked with the following symbols.

Warning

Caution

This symbol indicates that violating this item could cause serious personal injury.

This symbol indicates that violating this item could cause minor or medium personal injury, or material loss.

Warning

• Do not disassemble or modify the camera. High voltage areas are present inside the camera, with the risk of electric shock.

• If the camera interior is exposed due to dropping or otherwise damaging the camera, never touch the exposed portion. There is the risk of electric shock.

• Wrapping the strap around your neck is dangerous. Take care that small children do not hang the strap over their necks.

• To avoid the risk of it being swallowed by mistake, keep the SD Memory Card / MultiMediaCard out of the reach of small children. Seek medical attention immediately if accidentally swallowed.

• Always use the AC adapter specified exclusively for this product, with the specified power and voltage. Using an AC adapter not exclusive to this product, or using the exclusive AC adapter with an unspecified power or voltage can cause a fire, electric shock, or camera breakdown.

• If any irregularities occur during use, such as smoke or a strange odor, stop use immediately, remove the batteries or the AC adapter, and contact your nearest PENTAX service center. Continued use could cause a fire or electric shock.

• During thunderstorms, unplug and discontinue use of the AC adapter. Continued use could cause equipment failure, a fire, or electric shock.

Caution

• Do not short the battery or dispose of the battery in fire. Do not disassemble the battery. The battery could explode or catch fire.

• Do not charge any batteries other than rechargeable Ni-MH batteries. The battery could explode or catch fire. Of the batteries that can be used in this camera, only the Ni-MH battery can be recharged.

• Remove the battery from the camera immediately if it becomes hot or begins to smoke. Be careful not to burn yourself during removal.

• Some portions of the camera heat up during use. There is the risk of low temperature burns when holding such portions for long periods.

• Do not place your finger on the flash when it is discharging as there is a risk of burns.

Handling the Camera

• Always confirm that the camera is working properly when the camera has not been used for a long time, or before important occasions (weddings, trips, etc.). PENTAX is not responsible for consequential damages (costs incurred for photography, lost profits, etc.) arising from failure of this product.

• The lens on this camera is not exchangeable. The lens is not removable.

• Do not clean the product with organic solvents such as thinner, alcohol, or benzene.

• Do not subject to high temperatures or high humidity. Do not leave the camera in a vehicle, as the temperature can get very high.

• Do not store the camera with preservatives and chemicals. Storage in high temperatures and high humidity can cause molding. Remove from case and store in a dry and well-ventilated location.

• Do not subject the camera to strong vibrations, shocks, or pressure. Use a cushion to protect the camera from vibrations of motorcycles, automobiles, or ships.

• The temperature range for camera use is 0°C to 40°C.

• The LCD display may appear black under high temperatures, but will return to normal as temperatures normalize.

• The LCD display may respond more slowly at low temperatures. This is due to liquid crystal properties, and is not a fault.

• Periodic inspections are recommended every one to two years to maintain high performance.

• Sudden temperature changes will cause condensation on the inside and outside of the camera. Place the camera in your bag or a plastic bag, retrieving the camera after decreasing the temperature difference.

• Avoid contact with garbage, mud, sand, dust, water, toxic gases, or salts. These could cause a camera breakdown. Wipe dry any rain or water drops on the camera.

• See “Precautions when using an SD Memory Card / MultiMediaCard” (p.18) for details on the SD Memory Card / MultiMediaCard.

• Please do not press forcefully on the LCD monitor. This could cause breakage or malfunction.

Page 5

Water-resistant Feature

• This camera conforms to JIS, (Japanese Industrial Standard) Class 5 water resistant, (Direct jetting water under defined conditions shall have no harmful effect) and Class 7 water resistant, (Water shall not enter the enclosure when it is immersed in water up to 30 minutes at a depth of 1 meter.)

• This camera cannot be used underwater.

• Immediately after using the camera, be sure to carefully wipe off any water or dirt with a soft, dry cloth.

• Do not place the camera directly on the sand at a beach or other location. Exposure to large amounts of sand or dirt may damage the camera.

• The inside of the camera is not water resistant. Before using the camera, be sure the terminal cover and battery/card cover are securely closed. When replacing the battery or inserting or removing the memory card, carefully wipe off any water or dirt and open the cover in a location where the camera is not exposed to water or dirt. If water, sand, or dirt gets inside the camera, the camera may become damaged.

• If the camera becomes exposed to large amounts of dirt or salt water, make sure that the power is off and the terminal cover and battery/card cover are securely closed, and then carefully rinse off the camera under slowly running tap water or in a shallow basin filled with fresh water for two to three minutes.

• This camera should not be immersed in water for periods longer than thirty minutes at a time or exposed to extreme water pressure.

• Do not clean the camera with soapy water, mild detergent, or alcohol as this may reduce the effectiveness of the camera’s water-resistant feature. Be careful not to expose the camera to coffee or other beverages, as this may also reduce the effectiveness of the camera’s water-resistant feature.

• Before using the camera, be sure to wipe off any sand or debris from the waterresistant packing and the areas between the camera and the packing. Any scratches or damage to the packing or the areas between the camera and the packing or any peeling of the packing may reduce the effectiveness of the camera’s water-resistant feature. If this should occur, please call the Pentax Customer Service Department.

• The accessories of SD card, battery, USB cable and AV cable are not water resistant.
