Lithium Battery
The camera requires one, 6-volt lithium battery
(2CR5) . Always check the battery at the follow-
ing times:
1. When loading a new battery
2. Before an Important shooting task
3. If the shutter will not release
4. In cold weather
5. After prolonged storage
Battery Use Information
1. Wipe the battery terminals and the camera
contacts with a clean, dry cloth before load-
ing to ensure proper contact.
2. Remove the battery if you do not expect to
use the camera for more than three weeks.
3. Battery performance deteriorates slightly in
temperatures below
32°F/OoC.
Keep the
camera and especially a spare battery close
to your body or in an inside pocket to keep
them warm until use.
4. The battery may explode or cause burns
if disassembled, recharged, shorted, or ex-
posed to high temperature or disposed of
in fire. Be sure to observe all precautions
indicated on the battery package. Always
keep it out of the reach of children.
5. If one blinking bar or no bar mark appears
in the display panel during battery check, ex-
posure will be correct as long as the shutter
releases. Automatic advance and rewind will
be impaired by insufficient battery power. If
film wind or rewind stops due to the battery,
the film transport bars will blink. Film transport
operations will resume after a new battery is
installed and the film rewind button pressed .
