• If film is wound being mounted the main camera unit, its useful life is one year and a half.
Caution
Obligatory
• This camera back uses two lithium batteries CR123A. Be sure to use proper ones.
• If the camera back is not expected to be used for a long period of time, keep the batteries
unloaded from it.
• Store batteries in a place where they can be protected from direct sunlight, high temperature
and high humidity.
Warning
Obligatory
Be sure to use accessory batteries. When replacing them by the new because their use is in
excess of a specified useful life, be sure to use designated ones. Because the battery contains
flammable substance such as lithium and organic solvent, there may occur heat build-up, burst
or fire.
1. Be sure to observe the following:
• Do not charge, short-circuit, disassemble, deform, heat or put into fire the battery.
• Do not connect the battery’s (+) and (–) poles by wire. Do not carry or store it closely together
with metal necklace or the like.
• Properly connect its (+) and (–) poles.
• Do not combine new batteries and used batteries or any other types of batteries when in use.
• Do not solder a wire directly onto the battery.
2. Before discarding the used batteries, apply adhesive tape around their terminals for insulation.
If they should jumble up with other metallic objects or batteries, heat build-up, burst or fire
may result.
3. Be sure to keep batteries off children.
