PRECAUTIONS FOR BAHERY USAGE
Other precautions
•
The temperature range at which this camera
functions properly is 50“C to -10°C (122'F to 1
4 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
important
photographic session, it is recom­
mended 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 re­
pair of defects in materials or workmanship.
Damage of any kind cannot be repaired at no
charge under the terms of the warranty. If the dif­
ficulty is caused as a direct result of the product
being used in conditions as outlined in the
"Precautions for Your Camera" section or any
other operation contrary to the instructions out­
lined in this manual, charges will be assessed and
a repair quotation will be provided.
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 " i " and sides fac­
ing correctly.
Battery
performance may be temporarily hin­
dered in low temperatures, but will recover in
normal temperatures.
Keep a spare battery on hand for replacement
convenience
when shooting outdoors or while
traveling.
If the built-in flash is used continuously, the bat­
tery may become warm, but it does not mean
that the battery is faulty: it is one of the battery's
characteristics.
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.
