make the camera ready to use. Follow the stegs
as they are described. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO
ATTACH THE LENS TO A CAMERA WITHOUT
BATTERIES. You will find comprehensive infor-
mation on how to operate the camera in the
following sections.
Batteries and Fuse
You cannot operate the camera until you have
inserted the batteries and the fuse into the bat-
tery compartment. To gat access to the battery
compartment you have to remove the cover on
the loft hand side of the motor housing, i.e. the
lower section of the camera body. You unlock the
cover by inserting a suitable coin into the cover
locking button slot and turning it counter-clock-
vise into a vertical position. Now youcan remove
the cover by opening the rear end outwards and
disengaging the hooks in the front end,
The Battery Compartment
When you have removed the cover the battery
compartment will be exposed. I! you look closely
at the battery receptacles, you will see that there
is a symbol moulded inside each one, indicating
which way each battery should be inserted. On
the front face of the compartment at the bottom
is another moulding that represents a battery,
showing the positive and negative ends and the
various different designations of the required
battery type.
TheBatteries
You will need five 1.5V alkaline batteries size AA
{alternative designations are LR6 or AM-3). Fresh
batteries will give you up to 4000 exposures at
ambient temperatures above 32°F (0°C).
Regarding use of other battery types, see page 18.

The Fuse
The fuse is a 5 x 20mm instrument 'use rated
4.6A medium slow-blow (semi time-lag).
Fitting the Batteries
Fit the batteries into the compartment in accor-
dance with the symbols moulded into the recep-
tacles. Once fitted the positive (+) ends of the two
uppermost batteries and the negative (-) ends of
the other three, should be visible. Fit the fuse into
its receptacle at the top right hand side of the
battery compartment. It is always advisable to
have a spare fuse, which can conveniently be
carried in the hole directly below the fuse recep-
tacle.
When you refit the cover you must ensure that
the twa hooks in the front of the cover positively
engage in the corresponding slots in the front of
the motor housing. Firmly holding the hooks in
place you insert the coin in the lock button slot.
Keeping the siot strictly vertical you push the
cover
against the resistance
of the contact
'springs until tha lock pin engages in tho slot in the
motor housing. While pushing you turn the lock
button clockwise until it stops (approximately
1/4 turn) and the cover will be lacked in place.
NOTE: Ifthe camera hes been released using
the locktime (LOT) lever without batteries
inserted, the mechanism remains in the re-
leased state. When the cover is positioned
alter batteries have boen inserted tho power
circuit is closed and the camera will start and
complete the rewind cycle.
