Checking the Batteries
The
exposure
meter in
the
Photomic finder is powered
by two
high-performance
silver-oxide
batteries mounted
in
the
battery
chamber
in
the baseplate of the camera.
To install
the
batteries,
first remove the
battery
chamber
cover (turn
it
90° counterclockwise using a coin or simi-
lar object);
then,
place two 1.5V
silver-ox
ide (button-
cell
type) batteries in the chamber, making
sure
that the
plus (+)
side of each
unit
faces out.
After inserting
and
properly
seating the
batteries, replace
the cover and
lock
it to
secure
the
assembly.
Note: Remove the
batteries when the camera
is not
to be used
for a
long period;
this will
prevent leakage
within the camera.
Also,
keep the
camera as warm as
possible
when operating
under
cold-weather conditions; otherwise. the
batteries may
fail to
function. (See "Tips on Camera Care" on page 36 for additional
information.)
The
camera's film-advance
lever
serves as the
ON-OFF
switch for the
Photomic
finder.
Thus,
to check
battery
power, perform
the following:
Pullout
the
lever
just far
enough to
uncover
the red meter
ON index
on the top of
the camera; then,
look within the
finder to see
if
any of
the LEO
exposure
indicators
are
illuminated. If
any of
the ind icators
are
lit, battery power is
sufficient for
proper
operation.
If none
of
the LEOs light, battery
positioning
should
be
checked; then,
if none
of
the
LEOs light, replace
batteries.
