LOADING OF MERCURY BATTERY CELLS
The compound CdS meter of the KONICA AUTOREFLEX A takes two 1.3V mercury battery cells as its electric source. Wipe the
mercury battery cells, accessories for camera, with a piece of dry and clean cloth and put them into the mercury battery chamber.
1 Turn the cover of the Mercury Battery Chamber 27 counterclockwise with a coin and detach it from the chamber.
2 Insert the two cells into the mercury battery chamber, the "+" side up, according to the figure printed on the seal inside the
chamber. After the cells have been put into position, put the cover on the chamber and screw it tightly.
Handling of
Mercury Battery Cells
J A mercury battery is fully serviceable for more than one year if used normally. The battery voltage drops abruptly when it becomes
weak, the CdS meter will stop normal operation. When the meter pointer does not move even in bright light, replace the battery
with a new one.
For the mercury battery, it is recommendable to use 1.3V battery, Mallory PX-675 or Eveready EPX-675.
Since there are various batteries which resemble the above, but are of a different voltage than that required, caution should be
observed when replacing so as not to damage the camera. When not using the camera for a long period, store it in a place with
little moisture after taking out the mercury battery.

For film loading, avoid the direct sunlight and do it in the shade. If there is no shade, one way would be to use the
shadow of your body.
1 Pull the Back Cover Lock 26 and open the Back Cover 32 of the camera.
