•If the camera emits smoke or a strange smell, or in the event of any other irregularity, stop using the camera 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.

•Discontinue use of the AC adapter during thunderstorms. This can cause a fire or electrical shock.

Caution:

•Never try to disassemble, short or recharge the battery. Also, do not dispose of the battery in fire, as it may explode.

•Remove the battery from the camera immediately if it becomes hot or begin to smoke. Be careful not to burn yourself during removal.

•Some portions of the camera heat up during use, so please take care, as there is a risk of low temperature burns if such portions are held for long periods of time.
