FOR SAFE USE OF YOUR CAMERA
Although we have carefully designed this camera for safe operation, Please be sure to follow
precautions given in this page.
A WARNING
This mark indicates precautions that if not followed, could result in
serious injury to the operator.
A CAUTION
This mark indicates precautions that, if not followed, could result in
minor or medium injury to the operator or damage to the equipment.
A WARNING
* The electric circuits inside the camera con-
tain high voltage working parts. Never
attempt to disassemble the camera yourself.
* Never touch internal parts of the camera if
they become exposed from dropping the
camera or for some other reason, as there
is danger of electric shock.
* Wrapping the strap around your neck is
dangerous. Make sure that small children
do not get the strap caught around their
neck.
* Be sure to store batteries out of the reach
of children. Seek medical assistance
immediately if accidentally swallowed.
4
AN CAUTION
* Do not use the flash near anyone's eyes,
as it may hurt them. Be particularly careful
with the flash around the infants.
* Never try to disassemble, short or recharge
the battery. Also, do not dispose of the bat-
tery in fire, as it may explode.
* Remove the battery from the camera
immediately if it become hot or begin to
smoke. Be careful not to burn yourself dur-
ing removal.
Precautions when taking pictures
* Do not use the camera where it may come in
contact with rain, water or any other liquid,
because the camera is not weather, water, or lig-
uid resistant. Should the camera get wet from
rain, splashing water, or any other liquid, wipe it
off immediately with a dry soft cloth.
* Do not drop the camera or allow it to hit a solid
object. !f the camera suffers a severe shock or
impact, take it to a Pentax service center for
inspection.
* Be careful not to subject the camera to strong
vibrations, shock or pressure. Use a cushion to
protect the camera when carrying it in a motor-
cycle, car, boat, etc.
« Condensation on the interior or the exterior of
the camera may be extremely harmful to the
camera mechanism as it may cause rust and for
corrosion. Furthermore, if the camera is taken
from warm temperature to a subfreezing one or
vice versa, the formation of icelets may cause
damage. In such a case, put the camera into a
case or plastic bag so that any changes in tem-
perature difference are minimized. Do not
remove it from the bag until temperature has sta-
bilized.
Precautions for storage
+ Avoid leaving the camera for extended periods in
places where temperature and humidity are high
such as in a car.
e Do not store the camera in a closet with moth-
balls or in a case where chemicals are handled.
Store it in a place with good air circulation to pre-
vent fungus growth.
Precautions for proper care
e Use a blower and lens brush to remove dust
accumulated on the lens or the viewfinder win-
dow.
* Never use solvents such as paint thinner, alco-
hol or benzene to clean the camera. To clean the
external camera surfaces, - but not glass sur-
faces; using a dry or silicone-treated cloth is rec-
ommended. |
Other precautions
* The temperature range at which this camera
functions properly is 50°C to - 10°C (122°F to
14°F).
* To maintain optimum performance, it is recom-
mended that the camera be inspected every one
or two years. If the camera has not been used for
an extended period, or is being prepared for an
important photographic session, it is recom-
mended that you have the camera inspected or
test shoot with it.
* The PENTAX warranty provided only for the
repair of defects in materials or workmanship.
Damage of any kind cannot be repaired at free
of charge under the term of the warranty. If the
difficulty is caused as a direct result of the prod-
uct being used in conditions as out lined in the
other operation contrary to the instructions out-
lined in this manual, charges will be assessed or
a repair quotation will be provided.
Precautions for battery usage
* Misuse of a battery can cause hazards such as
leakage, overheating, explosions, etc. The bat-
tery should be inserted with the “+” and “~” sides
facing correctly.
* Never try to disassemble, short or recharge the
battery. Also do not dispose of the battery in a
fire, as it may explode.
* Battery performance may be temporarily hin-
dered in low temperatures, but will recover in
normal temperatures.
* Keep a spare battery on hand for replacement
convenience when shooting outdoors or while
traveling.
* When the camera is in a bag, make sure the
main switch is OFF position. Otherwise, battery
power may be wasted if the shutter release but-
ton is accidentally pushed.
* Be sure to keep the battery out of the reach of
children.

Procedure During 12-month Warranty Period
Any Pentax which proves defective during the 12
month warranty period should be returned to the
dealer from whom you purchased the equipment
or to the manufacturer. If there is no representa-
tive of the manufacturer in your coutry, send the
equipment to the manufacturer, with postage pre-
paid. In this case, it will take a considerable length
of time before the equipment can be returned to
you owing to the complicated customs procedures
required. If the equipment is covered by warranty,
repairs will be made and parts replaced free of
charge, and the equipment will be returned to you
upon completion of servicing. If the equipment is
not covered by warranty, regular charges of the
manufacturer or of its representatives will apply.
Shipping charges are to be borne by the owner. If
your Pentax was purchased outside of the country
where you wish to have it serviced during the war-
ranty period, regular handling and servicing fees
maybe charged by the manufacturer's representa-
tives in that country. Not with standing this, your
Pentax returned to the manufacturer will be ser-
viced free of charge according to this procedure
and warranty policy.
In any case, however, shipping charges and cus-
toms clearance fees are to be borne by the
sender. To prove the date of your purchase when
required, please keep the receipts or bills covering
the purchase of your equipment for at least a year.
Before sending your equipment for servicing,
please make sure that you are sending it to the
manufacture's authorized representatives or their
approved repair shops, unless you are sending it
directly to the manufacturer. Always obtain a quo-
tation for the service charge, and only after you
accept the quoted service charge, instruct the ser-
vice station to proceed with the servicing.
This warranty does not apply to Pentax prod-
ucts purchased in the United States.
Therefore, for warranty information regarding
Pentax products purchased in the United
States, please read the warranty card supplied
with your product.
