during use.
Warning These symbols indicate that it is possible that the

Warning:
• Do not attempt to take the camera apart or remodel the camera. High voltages are
present within the camera, and there is therefore a danger of electric shocks.
• If the inside of the camera should become exposed as a result of, for example, the
camera being dropped, please do not under any circumstances touch such exposed
portions, as there is a danger of receiving an electric shock.
• Wrapping the strap of the camera around your neck is also dangerous, please take
care that small children do not hang the strap around their necks.
• To avoid the risk of it being swallowed by mistake, keep the SD Memory Card out of
the reach of small children. Seek medical attention immediately if accidentally swal-
lowed.
• Use an AC adapter that are of the power and voltage specified for exclusive use with
this product. The use of an AC adapter other than that specified exclusively for use
with this product may cause fire or electric shocks.
• 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 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 begins 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.
• Do not place your finger on the flash when it is discharging as there is a risk of burns.
• If any of the battery leakage should come in contact with your eyes, do not rub them.
Flush your eyes with clean water and get medical attention immediately.
• If any of the battery leakage should come in contact with skin or clothes, wash the
affected areas thoroughly with water.
