Other precautions
• The temperature range at which this camera func-
tions properly is 50˚c to -10˚c (122˚F to 14˚F).
• A camera which has been submerged in water
usually cannot be repaired. If such an accident
should occur, it is advisable to contact a Pentax
Service Center immediately.
• 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 impor-
tant photographic session, it is recommended that
you have the camera inspected or test shoot with it.
• Repairs deemed necessary due to usage of this
product in an industrial or commercial application
may not be covered under the terms of the Pentax
warranty.
• The PENTAX warranty provides only for the repair
of defects in materials or workmanship. Damage of
any kind cannot be repaired at no charge under the
terms of the warranty. If the difficulty is caused as
a direct result of the product being used in condi-
tions as outlined in the “Precautions for Your
Camera” section or any other operation contrary to
the instructions outlined in this manual, charges
will be assessed and a repair quotation will be pro-
vided.
• Use two 3V lithium batteries (CR2 type).
• Misuse of the battery can cause hazards such as
leakage, overheating, explosion, etc. The battery
should be inserted with the “+” and “-” sides facing
correctly.
• Battery performance may be temporarily hindered
in low temperatures, but will recover in normal tem-
peratures.
• Keep a spare battery on hand for replacement con-
venience when shooting outdoors or while travel-
ing.
• If the built-in flash is used continuously, the battery
may become warm, but it does not mean that the
battery is faulty; it is one of the battery’s character-
istics.
• Replace the batteries at the same time. Do not mix
battery brands, type or an old battery with a new
one. It may cause explosion or overheating.
