Replacing The Lithium Battery; Setting The Film Speed; Loading The Film - Polaroid 3100Bf User Manual

Replacing the Lithium Battery

Replace the lithium battery when the date or time is dim or washed out on your pictures.
The lithium battery has an expected life of about three years.

Setting the Film Speed

Camera automatically sets the correct film speed by reading the black and silver DX-coded
pattern on the film cartridge.
Note: Do not use slide film. For best results, use Polaroid Color Print films.

Loading the Film

1. Slide the lens cover switch (10) to turn
on the camera.
2. Slide the back cover latch (11) to
open the back cover (16)(Fig. 4).
3. Insert film into film chamber, place film
leader on take-up spool (15) to the
film tip indicator (Fig. 5).
Note: Make sure the film lies flat
between the film guides,
and that the sprocket teeth
engage the film perforations.
4. Press the back cover shut so that the
back cover latch returns to its original
position. You can always be sure that
there is film in the camera by looking
through the film check window (17)
(Fig. 6).
5. Press the shutter release button (1)
several times until the "1" appears in
the film counter window (6). The
camera is then ready for you to take a
picture.
Note: Be sure the pinwheel in the film
counter window is rotating. This
ensures the film is advancing properly.
If pinwheel is not rotating, reload film.
