Inserting Batteries

Slide the battery-chamber cover ( ) from the back of the MC-36 and insert two AAA 1.5V LR03 alkaline batteries (available separately) as shown.

The Low Battery Indicator ()

The low battery indicator ( ) will blink when the batteries are low. Ready spare batteries.

Replacing Batteries

When replacing batteries:

1 Check that the “TIMER ACTIVE” ( ) and “RE- LEASE” ( ) indicators are not displayed (see right).

2 Turn the camera off and disconnect the MC-36. 3 Remove the batteries.

4 Wait until the control panel has gone out and insert new batteries.

When the MC-36 Is Not in Use

The MC-36 is not equipped with an off switch. To reduce the drain on the batteries when the MC-36 is not in use, end shooting and check that the “TIMER ACTIVE” ( ), “SET” ( ), and “RE- LEASE” ( ) indicators are not displayed (see right). The drain on the batteries increases when these indicators are fl ashing.
