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.
• 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.

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

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.
