eN 5.1 2511 1•251 • I a45 s I I : iroe 1255 16 is Battery check range Low batteries • 10 INSERTING BATTERIES The electronic systems of your Pentax ME-F operate on four 1.5-volt mini batteries (S76, etc.) which are packed separately with your camera. To insert the batteries: Open the battery compartment cover by sl iding it in the direction of the arrow, while depressing the battery compartment lock release button 6 . Place the four batteries in the chamber, with polarity markings as shown. Close the compartment cover and slide it so that it locks in place. Battery Check: After inserting the batteries, make a quick check to see that the batteries are inserted properly and that the camera's electrical systems are functioning. To check batteries: Press the shutter button partway and observe the viewfinder LED shutter speed display. One of the shutter speed LEDs (i.e. those between "2000" and "4S") will glow continuously if the voltage supply for the camera's exposure system is adequate. Low Battery Warning: When batteries become too weak for the exposure system to operate, the viewfinder shutter LEDs will begin to flicker.* Although the camera will continue to make accurate exposures for both the AUTO and M electronic exposure modes until the display goes out completely, all four batteries should be replaced promptly at this point to ensure uninterrupted operation. •NOTE: LEDs other than the shutter speed LEDs (i.e. "OVER - "UNDER" - "EF" - and "M") normally flicker depending on the operating modes; this should be disregarded as low battery indication.

The
electronic
systems
of
your
Pentax
ME
-F
operate
on
four
1.5
-volt
mini
batteries
(S76,
etc.)
which
are
packed
separately
with
your
camera.
To
insert
the
batteries:
Open
the
battery
compartment
cover
by
sl
iding
it
in
the
direction
of
the
arrow,
while
depressing
the
battery
compartment
lock
release
button
6
.
Place
the
four
batteries
in
the
chamber,
with
polarity
markings
as
shown.
Close
the
compartment
cover
and
slide
it
so
that
it
locks
in
place.
Battery
Check:
After
inserting
the
batteries,
make
a
quick
check
to
see
that
the
batteries
are
inserted
properly
and
that
the
camera's
electrical
systems
are
functioning.
To
check
batteries:
Press
the
shutter
button
partway
and
observe
the
viewfinder
LED
shutter
speed
display.
One
of
the
shutter
speed
LEDs
(i.e.
those
between
"2000"
and
"4S")
will
glow
continuously
if
the
voltage
supply
for
the
camera's
exposure
system
is
adequate.
Low
Battery
Warning:
When
batteries
become
too
weak
for
the
ex-
posure
system
to
operate,
the
viewfinder
shutter
LEDs
will
begin
to
flicker.*
Although
the
camera
will
continue
to
make
accurate
exposures
for
both
the
AUTO
and
M
electronic
exposure
modes
until
the
display
goes
out
completely,
all
four
batteries
should
be
replaced
promptly
at
this
point
to
ensure
uninterrupted
operation.
•NOTE:
LEDs
other
than
the
shutter
speed
LEDs
(i.e.
"OVER
—
"UNDER"
—
"EF"
—
and
"M")
normally
flicker
depending
on
the
operating
modes;
this
should
be
disregarded
as
low
battery
indication.
