or AC adapter not exclusive to this product, or using the exclusive battery
charger or AC adapter with an unspecified power or voltage can cause
a fire, electric shock, or camera breakdown. The specified voltage
is 100-240V AC.
• Do not disassemble or modify the product. This can cause a fire or electric
shock.
• If the generation of smoke or strange odor from the product or other
abnormality occurs, immediately discontinue its use and consult a PENTAX

• Be sure to store the battery out of the reach of small children. Placing it in
their mouths may cause an electric shock.
• If any leakage from the battery should come in contact with your eyes,
it may cause a loss of sight. Flush your eyes with clean water and get
medical attention immediately. Do not rub them.
Caution
• Only use the specified battery with this camera. Use of other batteries may
cause an explosion or fire.
• Do not disassemble the battery. Disassembling the battery may cause an
explosion or leakage.
• Remove the battery from the camera immediately if it becomes hot or
begins to smoke. Be careful not to burn yourself during removal.

Care to be Taken During Handling
Before Starting Use
• When traveling, take the Worldwide Service Network listing that is included
in the package. This will be useful if you experience problems abroad.
• When the camera has not been used for a long time, confirm that it is still
working properly, particularly prior to taking important pictures (such as at
a wedding or when traveling). Contents of the recording cannot be
guaranteed if recording, playback or transferring your data to a computer,
etc. is not possible due to a malfunction of your camera or recording media
(SD Memory Card), etc.
• The lens on this camera is not interchangeable. The lens is not removable.
About the Battery and Battery Charger
• Storing the battery fully charged may decrease the battery performance.
Avoid storing it especially in high temperatures.
If the battery is left inserted and the camera is not used for a long time,
the battery will over-discharge and shorten the battery’s service life.
• Charging the battery a day before use or on the day of use is
recommended.
• The AC plug cord supplied with the camera is for exclusive use with
the battery charger D-BC92. Do not use it with any other equipment.
Cautions when Carrying and Using the Camera
• Hot and humid places should be avoided. Particular care should be taken
regarding vehicles, which can become very hot inside.
• Ensure that the camera is not subjected to substantial vibrations, shocks,
or pressure as this may cause damage, malfunction, or a loss in waterproof
performance. Place the camera on a cushion for protection when the
camera is subjected to the vibrations of a motorbike, car, ship, etc. If the
camera is subjected to substantial vibrations, shocks, or pressure, take
your camera to your nearest PENTAX Service Center and have it checked.
• The temperature range in which the camera can be used is -10°C to 40°C
(14°F to 104°F).
• The liquid crystal display will become black at high temperatures but will
return to normal at normal temperatures.
5
Page 8
OptioWG-1_QSG_ENG.book Page 6 Friday, March 11, 2011 8:59 AM
• The response speed of the liquid crystal display becomes slow at low
temperatures. This is due to the properties of the liquid crystal and is not
a malfunction.
• If the camera is subjected to rapid temperature changes, condensation may
form on the inside and outside of the camera. Therefore put the camera in
a bag or plastic bag and take the camera out when the difference in
temperature has subsided.
• Avoid contact with garbage, mud, sand, dust, water, toxic gases, or salts.
These could cause the camera to breakdown. Wipe the camera to dry off
any rain or water drops.
• Please do not press forcefully on the display. This could cause it to break
or malfunction.
• Be careful not to sit down with the camera in your back pocket as this may
damage the exterior of the camera or the display.
• When using a tripod with the camera, be careful not to overtighten
the screw in the tripod socket on the camera.
About Repairs
• Do not clean the product with organic solvents such as thinner, alcohol
or benzene.
• Use a lens brush to remove dust accumulated on the lens. Never use
a spray blower for cleaning as it may damage the lens.
About Storage
• Avoid storing the camera where pesticides and chemicals are handled.
Remove the camera from its case and store it in a well-ventilated place
to prevent the camera from becoming moldy during storage.

Others
• Periodic checks are recommended every 1 to 2 years in order to maintain
high performance.
• Please note that deleting images, or formatting the SD Memory Cards or
the built-in memory does not completely erase the original data. Deleted
files can sometimes be recovered using commercially available software.
It is the user’s responsibility to ensure the privacy of such data.

Information for Users on Collection and Disposal of Old Equipment and Used
Batteries
1. In the European Union
These symbols on the products, packaging and/or accompanying
documents mean that used electrical and electronic equipments and
batteries should not be mixed with general household waste.
Used electrical/electronic equipments and batteries must be treated
separately and in accordance with legislation that requires proper
treatment, recovery and recycling of these products.
Following the implementation by member states, private households
within the EU states may return their used electrical/electronic
equipments and batteries to designated collection facilities free of
charge*.
In some countries your local retailer may also take back your old product
free of charge if you purchase a similar new one.
*Please contact your local authority for further details.
By disposing of this product correctly you will help ensure that the waste
undergoes the necessary treatment, recovery and recycling and thus
prevent potential negative effects on the environment and human health
which could otherwise arise due to inappropriate waste handling.
2. In other countries outside the EU
These symbols are only valid in the European Union. If you wish to discard
these items, please contact your local authorities or dealer and ask for the
correct method of disposal.
For Switzerland: Used electrical/electronic equipment can be returned
free of charge to the dealer, even when you don’t purchase a new product.
Further collection facilities are listed on the home page of www.swico.ch
or www.sens.ch.
Note for the battery symbol (bottom two symbol examples):
This symbol might be used in combination with a designation for the
chemical element or compound in use. In this case you have to comply
with the requirement set by the Directive for the chemicals involved.
