Fitting the mercury batterY:

To actuate the light meter, insert the mercury

battery (1.3V) correctly into the battery com-
partment at the bottom of the camera.
1. Fit a coin into the slot on the cover of
the battery compartment and turn the
cover counter-clockwise for removal.
2. Put in the battery, as illustrated, so that
the (*) end of the battery faces outwards,
and screw in the cover firmly.
When the battery runs out, its performance
fails sharply and the light meter ceases to
function. Take care to replace the battery
after about one year of use.
When you forget to insert the battery, the
shutter does not work even if you press the
shutter button under adequate light.
Recommendable battery replacements in-
cluding National M-1D, Toshiba TH-MC,
Mallory RM625, Eveready E625, General No.
625, etc.
