Warning
Always use the AC adapter exclusively developed for this product, with the specified
power and voltage. Using an AC adapter not exclusive to this product, or using the
exclusive AC adapter with an unspecified power or voltage can cause a fire, electric
shock, or camera breakdown.
Caution
Do not place or drop heavy objects on or forcefully bend the AC plug cord. Doing so
may damage the cord. Should the AC plug cord be damaged, consult a PENTAX
Service Center.
Do not touch or short-circuit the terminal area of the AC plug cord while the cord is
plugged in.
Do not plug or unplug the power cord with wet hands. This can cause an electric
shock.
Do not drop the product, or subject it to violent impact. This can cause equipment
breakdown.
To reduce the risk of hazards, use only a CSA/UL certified power supply cord set,
cord is Type SPT-2 or heavier, minimum NO.18 AWG copper, one end with a molded-
on male attachment plug cap (with a specified NEMA configuration), and the other is
provided with a molded-on female connector body (with a specified IEC nonindustrial

When traveling, take the Worldwide Service Network listing that is included in the
package. This will be useful if you experience problems abroad.
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 during
traveling). Contents of the recording cannot be guaranteed if recording, playback or
transferring your data to a computer, etc. is not possible due to a malfunction of your
camera or recording media (SD Memory Card), etc.
Do not subject the camera to high temperatures or high humidity. Do not leave the
camera in a vehicle, as the temperature can get very high.
Do not subject the camera to strong vibrations, shocks, or pressure. Use a cushion to
protect the camera from vibrations of motorcycles, automobiles, or ships.
The temperature range for camera use is 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F).
The monitor may appear black at high temperatures, but will return to normal at
normal temperatures.
