Care to be Taken During Handling

• Do not direct the DIGIBINO to the sun with the lens barrier open. It may damage the
image pickup device.
• When the DIGIBINO has not been used for a long time, confirm that it is still working
properly, particularly prior to taking important pictures. 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.
• Do not apply excessive force when adjusting the central focusing wheel, diopter adjust-
ing ring, or eyepiece width.
• Ensure that this product is not subjected to substantial vibrations, shocks or pressure.
Place this product on a cushion for protection when this product is subjected to the
vibrations of a motorbike, car, or ship, etc.
• Do not use the DIGIBINO where it may come in contact with rain, water or any other
liquid, because this product is not weather, water, or liquid resistant.
• The temperature range in which this product can be used is 0 C to 40 C (32 F to
104 F).
• Places of high temperature and humidity should be avoided. Particular care should be
taken regarding vehicles, which can become very hot inside.
• 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.
• If the DIGIBINO is subjected to rapid temperature changes, condensation may form on
the inside and outside of this product. Therefore put the DIGIBINO in a bag or plastic
bag, and take this product out when the difference in temperature has subsided.
• Avoid contact with garbage, dirt, sand, dust, water, toxic gases, salt, etc. as this may
cause damage to the DIGIBINO. If rain or drops of water get onto the DIGIBINO,
please wipe dry.
