2 Loading the Battery

An H-C 1.35V battery is employed for this camera.

1. The battery chamber cover can be opened by

turning it counterclockwise with a coin-like article.

2. Load one silver oxide battery correctly according
to the indication of the polarities in the battery chamber.
( If the battery is loaded incorrectly with the reverse

polarities, the meter needle will not fluctuate. )

3. Turn tightly the battery chamber cover clockwise.

Be careful not to contaminate the surface of the battery with sweat or oil when loading the
battery. If contaminated battery is loaded, it causes an improper contact. When the battery
is contaminated, wipe off the dirts with dry cloth.
Unload the battery when the camera is not used for a long period.

The battery should last for approximately one year under normal use. When the camera

has been used over one year, replace the old battery with new one.

3 Control Swtich

1. In the state that the film is loaded into the camera,
lightly pull the film advance lever from its stocked
position. Then, the exposure meter of the camera

will operate.

2. When the film advance lever is returned to its
stocked position, the exposure meter will be turned
OFF. Even if the shutter button is depressed in this
state, the shutter is not released.

When not using the camera, return the film advance lever to its stocked position. (If the
camera is left to stand for in ON state, the battery will consume earlier.)
