To users of this camera

• Do not use or store this device in the vicinity of equipment that generates strong electromagnetic radiation or magnetic fields.

Strong static charges or the magnetic fields produced by equipment such as radio transmitters could interfere with the monitor, damage the stored data, or affect the product’s internal circuitry and cause camera misoperation.

• The liquid crystal panel used for the display is manufactured using extremely high precision technology. Although the level of functioning pixels is 99.99% or better, you should be aware that 0.01% or fewer of the pixels may not illuminate or may illuminate when they should not. However, this has no effect on the recorded image.

• If you point the camera toward an object that is bright, a band of light may appear on the screen display. This phenomenon is referred to as “smear” and is not a malfunction of the camera.

• There is a possibility that the illustrations and the display screen in this manual are different from the actual product.

• In this manual, both an SD Memory Card and an SDHC Memory Card are referred to as SD Memory Cards hereafter.

• In this manual, the generic term “computer(s)” refers to either a Windows

PC or a Macintosh hereafter.

• In this manual, the term “battery(ies)” refers to any type of batteries used for this camera and its accessories.

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 use and consult a PENTAX

Doing so may damage the cord. Should the AC plug cord be damaged, consult a PENTAX Service Center.

• Do not touch or short-circuit the terminal area of the AC plug cord while the cord is plugged in.

• Do not plug or unplug the power cord with wet hands. This can cause an electric shock.

• Do not drop the product, or subject it to violent impact. This can cause equipment breakdown.

• Do not use the battery charger to charge a battery other than a rechargeable lithium-ion battery D-LI92. Attempting to charge other types of batteries may cause an explosion, or heating, or may damage the battery charger.

• To reduce the risk of hazards, use only a CSA/UL certified power supply cord set, cord is Type SPT-2 or heavier, minimum NO.18 AWG copper, one end with a molded-on male attachment plug cap (with a specified NEMA configuration), and the other is provided with a molded-on female connector body (with a specified IEC nonindustrial type configuration) or the equivalent.

Keep the Camera and Accessories out of the Reach of Small

Children

Warning

• Do not place the camera and its accessories within the reach of small children.

1. If the product falls or is operated accidentally it may cause serious personal injuries.

2. Wrapping the strap around a neck may cause suffocation.

3. To avoid the risk of a small accessory such as the battery or SD

Memory Cards from being swallowed by mistake, keep them out of the reach of small children. Seek medical attention immediately if an accessory is accidentally swallowed.

Care to be Taken During Handling

Before Using Your Camera

• 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). Pictures, movies and sound files 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.

About the Battery and Charger

• Storing the battery fully charged may decrease the battery performance.

Avoid storing 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 life.

• Charging the battery a day before use or on the day of use is recommended.

• The AC plug cord provided with this camera is developed exclusively for the battery charger D-BC92. Do not use it with other devices.

Precautions on Carrying and Using Your Camera

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

• 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 (32°F to 104°F).

• The monitor may appear black at high temperatures, but will return to normal at normal temperatures.

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

• Sudden temperature changes will cause condensation on the inside and outside of the camera. Place the camera in your bag or a plastic bag, and remove it after the temperature of the camera and surroundings are equalized.

• 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 monitor. 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.

• Be careful not to overtighten the tripod screw when using a tripod.

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

Cleaning Your Camera

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

• Use a lens brush to remove dust accumulated on the lens. Never use a spray blower for cleaning as it may damage the lens.

Storing Your Camera

• Do not store the camera with preservatives or chemicals. Storage in high temperatures and high humidity can cause mold to grow on the camera.

Remove the camera from its case and store it in a dry and well-ventilated location.

Other Precautions

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