INSERTING THE BATTERY

The OLYMPUS OM-1 is supplied with
a 1.35V mercury battery (JIS H-D type)
to power its through-the-lens exposure
metering system. It will last approxi-
mately one year depending upon use
and must be replaced with an Eveready
(UCAR) EPX625, Mallory
or equivalent. Substitutes must not be
used. (NOTE; The exposure meter stops
functioning when the battery runs out.
To prolong battery life, make sure the
Meter Switch Lever is in the "OFF"
position when the camera is not in
use.) To insert the battery:

cap of the battery chamber and turn
counter-clockwise until the cap has
been removed.
