PRECAUTIONS ON BATTERIES • Always handle batteries properly. Incorrect handling or use may result in leakage, heat generation and explosion. Always check the batteries' polarity markings when inserting them. • When replacing batteries, do not mix battery brands and types, or old batteries with new ones. • When you will not be using the camera for a long period of time, remove the batteries from it. Old batteries are apt to leak and can cause damage to the battery compartment. • Never try to break, recharge or throw used batteries into a fire; they can explode. • Keep the batteries warm in cold locations to ensure a stable power supply and to prevent camera malfunctions. • Carry a spare set of new batteries during trips and when photographing outdoors. • When keeping the camera in a bag or case, be sure to turn the main switch off to avoid accidental shutter releases and unnecessary battery consumption. • When the RTF is used continuously, the lithium battery may become slightly warm. This is natural, and nothing to worry about. • With one fresh 6V lithium battery or four fresh "AA"size alkaline batteries, approximately 55 rolls of 24exposure film can be exposed (under the experimental conditions of the Pentax laboratory). 0 0 CD IPc 59 •

PRECAUTIONS
ON
BATTERIES
Always
handle
batteries
properly.
Incorrect
handling
or
use
may
result
in
leakage,
heat
generation
and
explosion.
Always
check
the
batteries'
polarity
markings
when
inserting
them.
When
replacing
batteries,
do
not
mix
battery
brands
and
types,
or
old
batteries
with
new
ones.
When
you
will
not
be
using
the
camera
for
a
long
period
of
time,
remove
the
batteries
from
it.
Old
batteries
are
apt
to
leak
and
can
cause
damage
to
the
battery
compartment.
Never
try
to
break,
recharge
or
throw
used
batteries
into
a
fire;
they
can
explode.
Keep
the
batteries
warm
in
cold
locations
to
ensure
a
stable
power
supply
and
to
prevent
camera
malfunctions.

Carry
a
spare
set
of
new
batteries
during
trips
and
when
photographing
outdoors.
When
keeping
the
camera
in
a
bag
or
case,
be
sure
to
turn
the
main
switch
off
to
avoid
accidental
shutter
releases
and
unnecessary
battery
consumption.
When
the
RTF
is
used
continuously,
the
lithium
battery
may
become
slightly
warm.
This
is
natural,
and
nothing
to
worry
about.
With
one
fresh
6V
lithium
battery
or
four
fresh
"AA"
-
size
alkaline
batteries,
approximately
55
rolls
of
24
-
exposure
film
can
be
exposed
(under
the
experimental
conditions
of
the
Pentax
laboratory).
