Pentax K-5 IIs Operating Guide

Getting Started

Open the battery cover.

Lift the battery cover unlock knob, turn it

towards OPEN (1) to unlock, and then

pull the cover open (2).

• Do not use the provided battery charger D-BC90 to charge batteries other

than D-LI90. Charging other batteries may cause damage or heating.

• Replace the battery with a new one in the following cases:

- If the indicator lamp blinks or does not light after the battery is inserted

correctly

- If the battery starts to run down more quickly even after being charged

(the battery may have reached the end of its service life)

The maximum charging time is approximately 390 minutes (it depends on

temperature and remaining battery power.) Charge in a location where

the temperature is between 0°C and 40°C.

Inserting/Removing the Battery

• Do not open the battery cover or remove the battery while the power is on.
• Insert the battery correctly. Inserting the battery incorrectly may cause

a camera breakdown. Wipe the electrodes of the battery with a soft dry cloth

before inserting.

• Be careful as the camera or battery may become hot when the camera is

used continuously for a long period of time.

• Remove the battery when you will not use the camera for a long while.

The battery may leak and damage the camera if left installed during

prolonged periods of non-use. If the removed battery will not be used

for six months or longer, charge the battery for about 30 minutes before

storing it. Be sure to recharge the battery every six to twelve months.

• Store the battery in a location where the temperature will remain below room

temperature. Avoid locations with high temperatures.

• The date and time may be reset if you leave the battery out of the camera for

long periods of time. If this occurs, follow the procedure described in “Setting

the Date and Time” (p.62) to set the current date and time.
