dropped, please do not under any circumstances touch such exposed portions, as there is a
danger of receiving an electric shock.

small children. Seek medical attention immediately if a card is accidentally swallowed.
• Wrapping the strap of the camera around your neck is also dangerous. Please take care that
small children do not hang the strap around their necks.

The use of an AC adapter other than that specified exclusively for use with this product may
cause fire or electric shocks.
• If the camera emits smoke or a strange smell, or in the event of any other irregularity, stop using
the camera immediately, remove the battery or unplug the AC adapter, and contact your nearest
PENTAX Service Center. Continued use of the camera may result in fire or electric shock.
