APPENDIX

Handling Cautions

Battery Performance
• The Maxxum/Dynax 9's battery performance decreases
when the Data Memory Back DM-9 is attached. When
mounted, the DM-9 is powered by the batteries in the
camera.
Operating Temperature
• Data can be saved to memory in the temperature range
from 0 to 50 ° C (32 to 122 ° F).
• Data can only be imprinted to film in the temperature
range from -20 to 50 ° C (4 to 122 ° F).
• Never leave this product where it may be subjected to
extreme temperatures such as the glove compartment of a
car.
• Data panel response time will be slow at colder
temperatures. The display will temporarily darken at higher
temperatures, but will restore when the temperature
normalizes.
Mid Reload Function
• A separate data file is written to the SmartMedia each time
a roll of film is loaded into the camera. Film reloaded two
or more times will have two or more data numbers and
data files.
