Care to be Taken During Handling

•Do not clean the product with organic solvents such as thinner or alcohol 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 case and 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 liq- uid, because the camera is not weather, water, or liquid resistant. Should the camera get wet from rain, splashing water, or any other liquid, wipe it off immediately with a dry soft cloth.

•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 liquid crystal display will become black at temperatures of approximately 60°C (140°F) 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 the properties of the liquid crystal and is not a fault.

•Remove dust from the lens and viewfinder using a blower or clean off dust using a lens brush.

•Periodic checks are recommended every 1 to 2 years in order to maintain high-performance.

•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 dur- ing travelling). Pentax is not responsible for consequential damages (costs incurred as a result of taking pictures, loss of benefits that were to be obtained through taking pictures) arising from failure of this product.

•If the camera is subjected to rapid temperature changes, condensation may form on the inside and outside 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.

•The temperature range in which the camera can be used is 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F).

•Avoid contact with garbage, dirt, sand, dust, water, toxic gases, salt, etc. as this may cause damage to the camera. If rain or drops of water get onto the camera, please wipe dry.

•Please refer to “Precautions When Using a CF Card” (p.15) regarding the CompactFlash (CF) card.

•Be sure to use the D-LI2 rechargeable lithium ion battery provided for this camera. If you use any other battery the camera may be damaged or malfunction.

To users of this camera

• There is a possibility that recorded data may be erased or that the camera may not function correctly when used in surroundings such as installations generating strong electromagnetic radiation or magnetic fields.

• The liquid crystal panel used in the LCD display is manufactured using extremely high precision technology. Although the level of functioning pixels is 99.99% or bet- ter, you should be aware that 0.01% or fewer of the pixels may not illuminate or may
