The Contax 159 MM has a main switch which is used to
turn the powbr ON/OFF. Turn the switch in direction of the
arrow until it click stops and a red dot (for ON) appears,
setting the camera in a state of readiness. With the main
switch turned on, pressing of the shutter release button
partway in will cause the viewfinder LEDs to light up and
stay on for 16 seconds. When the main switch is turned
back (red dot in covered position), all of the electrical
circuits will be turned off, causing all camera functions to
cease.
When not using the camera, make sure that the main
switch is turned OFF (red dot in covered position) to
prevent accidental release of the shutter.

switch is fuither turned from its ON position in direction of
the arrow, it means the batteries are good. When the
batteries weaken, the lamp will give a warning flash. In
this case, have fresh batteries ready or replace the
batteries. When the batteries fall below a rated output, the
lamp will not light and the camera will not function.
