 If the inside of the camera should become exposed as a result of, for example, the camera being dropped,
please do not under any circumstances touch such exposed portions, as there is a danger of receiving anelectric shock.
 Wrapping the strap of the camera around your neck is also dangerous. Please take care that smallchildren do not hang the strap around their necks.
 To avoid the risk of it being swallowed by mistake, keep the SD Memory Card out of the reach of smallchildren. Seek medical attention immediately if an SD Memory Card is accidentally swallowed.
 Use an AC adapter that is of the power and voltage specified for exclusive use with this product. The useof 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 thecamera immediately, remove the battery or disconnect the AC adapter and contact your nearest PENTAX
service center. Continued use of the camera may result in fire or electric shock.

EN-3

to get on your skin or in your eyes or in your mouth.

EN-4

Handling precautions for batteries
 This camera uses two AA Ni-MH or AA alkaline batteries. Do not use batteries other than those specified
here. Using some other type of battery may cause the camera to function poorly, or the batteries may
rupture or cause a fire.
 AA alkaline battery cannot be recharged. Do not try to take the batteries apart. The batteries may rupture
or leak if you try to charge them or take them apart.
 Do not replace the batteries with batteries that are different brands, types or capacities. Also, do not
combine old batteries with new ones. Doing so may cause the batteries to rupture or cause a fire.
 Do not insert the batteries with the positive (+) and negative (-) poles in the wrong orientation. Doing so
may cause the batteries to rupture or cause a fire.
 Do not remove the external seal of the batteries. If the seal is removed, the batteries may short and may
cause a fire, rupture, leak or heat.

About the AC Adapter
Caution Do not place heavy objects on the AC plug cord, allow heavy objects to drop onto it or allow the AC plug
cord to become damaged due to excessive bending. If the AC plug cord becomes damaged, consult a
PENTAX Service Center.
 Do not short or touch the output terminals of the product while it is still plugged in.
 Do not plug in the AC plug cord with wet hands. This can cause an electrical shock.
 Do not subject the product to strong impacts or allow it to drop onto a hard surface. This can cause a
malfunction.

EN-5

Care to be Taken During Handling Take the international warranty card with you when you travel abroad. Also take the Worldwide Service
Network list 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 during 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 exchangeable. The lens is not removable.
 Do not clean the product with organic solvents such as thinner, alcohol or benzene.
 Places of high temperature and humidity should be avoided. Particular care should be taken regarding
vehicles, which can become very hot inside.
 Storing the camera where pesticides and chemicals are handled should be avoided. Remove from caseand store in a well-ventilated place to prevent the camera from becoming moldy during storage.
 Do not use the camera where it may come in contact with rain, water or any other liquid, because thecamera is not weather, water, or liquid resistant.
 Ensure that the camera is not subjected to substantial vibrations, shocks or pressure. Place the camera
on a cushion for protection when the camera is subjected to the vibrations of a motorbike, car, or ship, etc.
 The temperature range in which the camera can be used is 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F).
 The liquid crystal display will become black at high temperatures but will return to normal when normal
temperatures are returned to.
 The response speed of the liquid crystal display becomes slow at low temperatures. This is due to theproperties of the liquid crystal and is not a fault.
 Periodic checks are recommended every 1 to 2 years in order to maintain high performance.
 If the camera is subjected to rapid temperature changes, condensation may form on the inside andoutside 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, dirt, sand, dust, water, toxic gases, salt, etc. as this may cause damage to thecamera. If rain or drops of water get onto the camera, please wipe dry.
EN-6

 The SD Memory Card is equipped with a write-protect switch. Setting theswitch to [LOCK] protects the existing data by prohibiting recording of
new data, deletion of existing data or formatting of the card.
[Card locked] appears on the LCD monitor in recording mode when thecard is write-protected.
Write-protect switch
 Care should be taken if you remove the SD Memory Card immediately
after using the camera, as the card may be hot.
 Do not remove the SD Memory Card or turn the camera off while data is being recorded on the card,
images or voice memos are being played back, or the camera is connected to a PC with the USB cable as
this may cause the data to be lost or the card to be damaged.
 Do not bend the SD Memory Card or subject it to violent impact. Keep it away from water and store awayfrom high temperature.
 Do not remove the SD Memory Card during formatting as this may damage the card and render it
unusable.

EN-21

 The data on the SD Memory Card may be deleted in the following circumstances. PENTAX does not
accept any liability for data that is deleted(1) when the SD Memory Card is mishandled by the user.
(2) when the SD Memory Card is exposed to static electricity or electrical interference.
(3) when the card has not been used for a long time.
(4) when the card is ejected, the AC adapter is disconnected or the batteries are removed while the dataon the card is being recorded or accessed.
 The SD Memory Card has a limited service life. If it is not used for a long time, the data on the card may
become unreadable. Be sure to make a backup of important data on a PC.
 Avoid using or storing the card where it may be exposed to static electricity or electrical interference.
 Avoid using or storing the card in direct sunlight or where it may be exposed to rapid changes intemperature or to condensation.
 When using an SD Memory Card with a slow recording speed, recording may stop while you are taking
movies even when there is adequate space in the memory, or shooting and playback may take a longtime.
 If you are going to discard, give away or sell your SD Memory Card you should ensure that the data on thecard is completely deleted or the card itself is destroyed if it contains any personal or sensitive information.
Please note that formatting the SD card will not necessarily delete the data so that it cannot be recovered
using off the shelf data recovery software. There are off the shelf secure data deletion software programs
available that will completely delete the data. In any case the data on your SD Memory Card should bemanaged at your own risk.
