Precautions for Use
Camera
•	 This	product	 was	manufactured	 for	use	 in	the	 country	 of	purchase,	 the	warranty	 is	not	
valid in other countries.
•	 Should	 the	product	 fail	or	malfunction	 while	out	of	the	 country,	 the	manufacturer	 as-
sumes no responsibility for servicing the product locally or bearing any expenditure 
incurred thereby.
•	 Do	not	drop	the	camera	or	subject	it	to	physical	shocks.
•	 When	 carrying	 the	camera,	 be	careful	 that	it	does	 not	strike	 other	 objects.	 Particular	
care is required to protect the lens and picture display.
•	 The	 flash	may	overheat	 if	fired	 many	 times	in	succession.	 Do	not	 use	 the	flash	 succes-
sively more than necessary.
•	 Do	 not	use	 the	flash	 in	close	 contact	 with	your	 body	 or	other	 objects.	 Failure	to	ob-
serve this precaution could result in burns or fire.
•	 Using	 the	flash	 unit	in	close	 proximity	 to	your	 subject’s	 eyes	could	 cause	 temporary	
visual impairment. Particular care should be observed when photographing infants.
•	 Do	 not	direct	 the	flash	 at	the	 operator	 of	a	motor	 vehicle.	 Failure	to	observe	 this	pre-
caution could cause accidents.
•	 Battery	 may	become	 hot	with	 extended	 use.	Wait	 for	the	 battery	 to	cool	 before	 re-
moving it from the camera.
•	 The	picture	display	may	be	difficult	to	read	in	direct	sunlight.
•	 You	 may	notice	 that	picture	 display	varies	in	brightness	 or	contains	 pixels	that	do	not	
light or that are always lit. This is common to all LCD monitors and does not indicate a 
malfunction.
•	 Do	not	apply	force	to	the	picture	display.
•	 Abrupt	 changes	in	temperature	 may	cause	 condensation,	 resulting	in	visible	 conden-
sation inside the lens or camera malfunction. This can be avoided by placing the cam-
era in a plastic bag to slow the temperature change, and removing it only after the air 
in the bag has reached the same temperature of its surroundings.
•	 To	 prevent	 damage	 to	the	 product,	 do	not	 insert	 objects	 into	the	holes	 in	the	 micro -
phone and speaker coverings.
•	 Keep	 the	camera	 dry	and	 avoid	 handling	 it	with	 wet	hands.	 Failure	 to	observe	 this	
precaution could result in product malfunction or electric shock.
•	 Take	 a	test	 shot	 to	ensure	 that	the	camera	 is	functioning	 properly	before	using	it	on	
important occasions such as travel or weddings. We recommend that you keep this 
manual and spare batteries at hand.
  Avoiding Condensation ------------------------------------------------------------------------\
------------
•	 Condensation	 is	particularly	 likely	to	occur	 if	you	 move	 to	an	 area	 with	 a	sharply	 different	 tempera-
ture, if humidity is high, in a cold room after the heater has come on, or where the camera is exposed 
to cold air from an air conditioner or other device.

AC-U1 USB Power Adapter
•	 Use	the	USB	cable	contained	in	the	package.
•	 Do	not	subject	the	power	adapter	to	severe	impact	or	force.
•	 Do	not	use	in	extreme	high	or	low	temperatures	or	areas	subject	to	vibration.
•	 Do	not	use	in	an	area	subject	to	direct	sunlight	or	high	temperature.
•	 Unplug	the	power	 plug	from	 the	power	 outlet	after	charging.	 Failure	to	observe	 this	
precaution could result in fire.
•	 Do	not	allow	other	metallic	objects	to	come	in	contact	with	the	connectors	or	 contacts of the rechargeable battery as this can result in a short.
•	 The	 operating	 temperature	 range	is	10°C	 to	40°C	 (50°F	 to	104°F).	 Charging	 takes	lon-
ger	at	temperatures	below	10°C	(50°F).
 Caution ------------------------------------------------------------------------\
-------------------------------
•	 Use	of	other	batteries	can	cause	explosion.
•	 Recycle	used	batteries	in	a	recycle	box	at	your	local	electronics	store	or	supermarket.
DB-65 Rechargeable Battery
•	 This	is	a	lithium-ion	battery.
•	 The	 battery	 is	not	 fully	 charged	 at	the	 time	 of	purchase,	 so	be	 sure	 to	charge	 the	bat-
tery before use.
•	 Do	 not	open	 or	damage	 the	battery	 as	this	 can	result	 in	fire	 or	injury.	 In	addition,	 do	
not	heat	the	battery	above	60°C	(140°F)	or	expose	the	battery	to	fire.
•	 Due	 to	the	 battery	 characteristics,	 the	battery	 usage	time	may	be	shortened	 when	
used	 in	a	cold	 environment,	 even	if	the	 battery	 is	fully	 charged.	 Keep	the	battery	
warm by placing it in a pocket or have a backup battery ready.
•	 When	 not	in	use,	 be	sure	 to	remove	 the	battery	 from	the	camera	 or	the	 battery	 char-
ger. A small amount of current can leak from the battery even when the power is 
off, creating excessive discharge and making the battery unusable. If the battery is 
removed for more than five days, the date and time settings will be lost. In this case, 
reset the date and time.
•	 If	 the	battery	 is	not	 used	 for	a	long	 time,	 charge	 the	battery	 for	15	minutes	 once	a	year	
before storing.
•	 Store	 in	a	dry,	 cool	 place	 with	an	ambient	 temperature	 between	15°C	and	25°C	 (59°F	
and	77°F).	Avoid	storing	in	extreme	high	or	low	temperatures.
•	 After	charging	the	battery,	do	not	immediately	charge	it	again.
•	 Charge	 the	battery	 at	an	 ambient	 temperature	 between	10°C	and	40°C	 (50°F	 and	
104°F).	 Charging	 the	battery	 at	a	high	 temperature	 can	deteriorate	 the	battery.	 Charg-
ing at a low temperature may prevent full charging.
•	 If	 the	battery	 usage	time	becomes	 very	short	 even	when	 fully	charged,	 the	battery	
has reached the end of its useful life. Replace with a new battery. Be sure to use a 
replacement battery recommended by RICOH IMAGING.
•	 The	recharge	time	with	the	AC-U1	is	approximately	3	hours	(at	25°C	(77°F)).

representatives of the manufacturer in your country, send the camera to the manufacturer, with 
postage prepaid. In this case, it will take a considerable length of time before the camera can 
be returned to you owing to the complicated customs procedures required. If the camera is 
covered by warranty, repairs will be made and parts replaced free of charge, and the camera 
will be returned to you upon completion of servicing. If the camera is not covered by warranty, 
regular charges of the manufacturer or of its representatives will apply. Shipping charges are 
to be borne by the owner. If your camera was purchased outside of the country where you 
wish to have it serviced during the warranty period, regular handling and servicing fees may 
be charged by the manufacturer’s representatives in that country. Notwithstanding this, your 
camera returned to the manufacturer will be serviced free of charge according to this procedure 
and warranty policy. In any case, however, shipping charges and customs clearance fees to be 
borne by the sender. To prove the date of your purchase when required, please keep the receipt 
or bills covering the purchase of your camera for at least a year. Before sending your camera for 
servicing, please make sure that you are sending it to the manufacturer’s authorized represen-
tatives or their approved repair shops, unless you are sending it directly to the manufacturer. 
Always obtain a quotation for the service charge, and only after you accept the quoted service 
charge, instruct the service station to proceed with the servicing.
•	 This	warranty	policy	does	not	affect	the	customer’s	statutory	rights.
•	 The	local	warranty	 policies	available	 from	our	distributors	 in	some	 coun‑
tries can supersede this warranty policy. Therefore, we recommend that 
you review the warranty card supplied with your product at the time of

Information for Users on Collection and Disposal of Old Equip-
ment and Used Batteries
1.	In	the	European	Union
These symbols on the products, packaging and/or accompanying 
documents mean that used electrical and electronic equipment and 
batteries should not be mixed with general household waste.
Used	 electrical/electronic	 equipment	and	batteries	 must	be	treated	
separately and in accordance with legislation that requires proper 
treatment, recovery and recycling of these products.
By disposing of these products correctly you will help ensure that 
the waste undergoes the necessary treatment, recovery and recy -
cling and thus prevent potential negative effects on the environ-
ment and human health which could otherwise arise due to inap -
propriate waste handling.
If a chemical symbol is added beneath the symbol shown above, in accordance 
with the Battery Directive, this indicates that a heavy metal (Hg = Mercury, Cd = 
Cadmium, Pb = Lead) is present in the battery at a concentration above an appli-
cable threshold specified in the Battery Directive.
For	 more	 information	 about	collection	 and	recycling	 of	used	 products,	 please	con-
tact your local authorities, your waste disposal service or the point of sale where 
you purchased the products.
2.	In	other	countries	outside	the	EU
These	 symbols	 are	only	 valid	 in	the	 European	 Union.	If	you	 wish	 to	discard	 used	
products, please contact your local authorities or dealer and ask for the correct 
method of disposal.
For	 Switzerland:	 Used	electrical/electronic	 equipment	can	be	returned	 free	of	
charge	 to	the	 dealer,	 even	when	 you	don’t	 purchase	 a	new	 product.	 Further	col-
lection facilities are listed on the home page of www.swico.ch or www.sens.ch.
