Minox LX - Battery Test

Battery test
You can check the battery with the camera closed
or open, but not released.
Push the check switch , next to the shutter speed
dial, fully towards the camera front and hold for ab-
out one second: The green signal must light up .
If the green signal l igh ts up at first b ut fades or go es out
wi thin a second, t he battery is nearly ex h aus te d. Re-
pl ace as soon as possibl e.
If the green sig n al does n ot li gh t, th e battery is fully
spent or too old (remove im mediately f rom th e camer a),
or was inserted the wrong way rou n d.
Check the battery every t im e you load a film or whe n
yo u haven't used th e ca mera for a week or mor e. But
don 't check th e battery too often or for too lo ng - that
also exhausts it.
Th e ba ttery test does no t indicate how l ong it w ill sti ll
las t. Prefera bl y fit a f res h battery at least on ce a year,
even if
th e battery test still shows su ff icient power.
Re move even a good ba ttery fr om th e camera if yo u are
li ke ly to store th e latter unused for long periods.
