CHECKING AND REPLACING
THE BATTERY
Your photo-electric cell is operated by a
battery with an extremely long life. But you
should nevertheless check its condition from
time to time.
To
do so - Set the exposure index dial so
that the wide index (18 f.p.s.) on the inner
disk is opposite 25 ASA.
Look through the viewfinder and press the
small lever protruding through the front
plate of the camera above the lens. If the
mobile needle of the exposure meter is
positioned within the triangular cut-out of
the wask, the battery is in good condi-
tion. If not, it must be replaced.
The battery should last for two years, whether you use it
or not. You can obtain a replacement from a radio dealer
or from your regular photo dealer. Ask for a
MALLORY
RM
450.
Unscrew the retaining cap and replace the used battery,
taking care to insert the new battery head first - with the
smooth end towards the cap. When you have replaced
the cap, repeat the test described above.
