How to Use the CdS Meter
-------------------------------
The
CdS meter
of
the
MIRANDA
Sensorex
is
powered by a mercury battery. Before using
your new Sensorex, therefore,
lo~d
the mercury
battery which
is
supplied with it in the battery
compartment
of
the camerra.
I.
Take off the battery compartment lid
of
the camera by turning
it
in a counter-
clockwise motion.
2.
Place the mercury battery in the compart-
ment, seeing to
it
that
the
(+
) side faces
the camera back, and close the lid.
3·
The
meter will
be
activated by turning
on
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, result-
ing 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
# 625 or equivalent.
• Remove the mercury battery from its com-
partment
when the camera
is
to be left un-
used over any great len
gth
of
time.
