Mercury Battery
The CdS meter of the MIRANDA Sensomat
is
powered by a mercury battery . Therefore,
before using
your new Sensomat load the
mercury battery in the battery compartment of
the camera.
1. Remove the battery compartment lid of the
camera by turning
it in an anti-clockwise
motion.
2. Place the mercury battery in the compart-
ment, seeing to it that the (+) side faces the
camera
bottom and repla~e the lid.
3. The meter will be activated by pushing
the meter switch.
•
The meter will not function if the polarity
of the mercury battery is reversed.
•
Under ordinary circumstances, the mercury
battery will provide sufficient power to
work the meter over a duration of about
two years. The battery power declines
sharply when
it nears the end of its life-span,
resulting in sluggish
movement of the meter
needle seen through the finder. In this case,
replacement
of the mercury battery is neces-
sary.
• When replacing the mercury
battery , use
Mallory PX 675
or equivalent.
• Remove
the mercury battery from its com-
partment when the camera is to be left
unused over any great length
of time.
