CAUTION
• Do not touch the battery terminals with
moist or dirty fingers, as this may cause it to
become inoperative.
• If the camera is not to be used for over a
month, the battery should be removed and
stored in a cool dry place.
• Do not discard a mercury battery in a fire or
attempt to open or break it.

serviceable.
Test the battery immediately after installing
it. If the meter needle does not point as
indicated, make sure that the battery is fresh
and has been inserted correctly.
The battery should be tested from time to
time thereafter, preferably before starting each
new roll of film and after it has not been used
for a period of time, particularly before starting
picture-taking sessions or trips. A battery will
generally last for over a year in proper normal
use.
CAUTION
Do not leave the switch set at the B.C.
position, as th is may cause improper exposure
with the match-needle method and will place
undue load on the battery.
