Notes on Batteries

Keep batteries out of children’s reach.

 

If someone accidentally swallows batteries,

WARNING

call a doctor immediately.

Do not leave

 

Use four AA-type alkaline-manganese or lithium batteries

Two 3V lithium batteries (CR123A or DL123A) can be used with optional 3V Lithium Battery Holder MS-13. With Multi-Power High Speed Battery Pack MB-15, six 1.5V alkaline-manganese or lithium batteries, or Ni-MH battery MN-15 can be used to power the F100.

Change the batteries well before the end of their life and prepare spare batteries before important photographic occasions.

Turn the camera power off when changing batteries

Turn the camera power off before changing batteries and insert the batteries with + and – ends positioned correctly.

Stains on the battery poles may cause lack of contact. Wipe the batteries well with a dry cloth before installing.

Use fresh batteries at low temperatures

Battery power diminishes at extremely low temperatures and the camera may not function properly with old batteries. Use a fresh set of batteries at low temperatures, keep spare batteries warm, and use them alternately.

Film advance speed lowers and number of usable film roll becomes less at low temperatures. However, battery power may recover when the temperature returns to normal.

Do not throw batteries into a fire or short circuit batteries

Do not throw batteries into a fire. Do not short, disassemble, heat or charge batteries.
