The Power pack P-8 is an external power supply using four 1.5V LR6/AA NiH batteries or four 1.2V LR6/AA Ni-Cd batteries. This pack allows the camera to be used with a remote power supply kept in a warm place. This prevents loss of battery performance due to the influence of cold working conditions.

The Power pack P-8D is an external power supply using four 1.5V D-size NiH batteries. Use it as required when large numbers of photographs are to be taken.

*The separately available GP-1 Contax power pack adapter is required when using the P- 8D in conjunction with the Contax NX.

<Mounting>

1.Fit the GP-1 Contax power pack adapter to the camera.

Remove the lithium batteries from the camera, insert the GP-1, and turn to lock in place.

• Keep the battery cover in a safe place.

2.Load the batteries in the Power pack. [P-8]

Insert four AA-size batteries in the battery case (supplied with the P-8 power pack) as shown, and fit to the P-8.

Place the P-8 main unit inside a jacket (case).

[P-8D]

Insert the batteries as described in the manual supplied with the P-8D.

3.Insert the plug on the power pack cord in the socket on the GP-1 adapter.

When shooting, place the power pack in a thermal cover to prevent heat loss.

When replacing batteries, do not mix different types of batteries, or old batteries with new batteries. Replace all four batteries at the same time with new batteries of the same type.

When not using the power pack for a long period of time, remove the batteries from the battery case to prevent leakage of battery fluid.

Hold the plug when disconnecting. Do not pull on the cord.
