When all data is correct, press the SELECT button until the data stops blinking.

Do not use the data back when temperatures exceed the operating range of 0° to 50° C (32° to 122° F).

The quartz data back uses a CR2025 lithium battery, located on the inside of the back cover. Replace the battery if the display changes or becomes dim while the camera batteries are removed.

Slide the battery cover in the direction indicated.

Remove the old battery and replace it with a new one.

• The + side should face up.

Replace the battery cover, then reset the date and time.
