• The PENTAX warranty provided only for the repair of defects in materials or workmanship. Damage of any kind cannot be repaired at no charge under the term of the warranty. If the difficulty is caused as a direct result of the product being used in conditions as out lined in the other operation contrary to the instructions outlined in this manual, charges will be assessed or a repair quotation will be provided.
• Do not apply force to the zoom lens; do not place the camera with lens facing downward.
• Dirt, mud, sand, moisture, toxic gas, water, salt water, etc., penetrating the inside of the camera may cause damage or render it inoperable.
Damage of any kind will not be repaired under the terms of warranty and charges may be assessed.
Therefore, handle the camera with great care.
• Misuse of a battery can cause hazards such as leakage, overheating, explosions, etc. The battery should be inserted with the “+” and “-” sides facing correctly.
