Pentax 300X - Manual (Page 5)

LOADING THE BATTERIES
• Battery type
Use four penlight batteries (AA
size). Alkaline-manganese batteries
are recommended because of their
long service life.
• Recycle time will be longer in
cold weather because low
temperatures will reduce bat-
tery efficiency. Try to keep
the batteries warm in cold
weather by carrying them in
your coat pocket until they
are needed.
• If the flash is not being used
for a long interval, remove the
batteries before putting it
away because old batteries can
develop leaks and damage it.
How to load the batteries
1. Remove the Battery Compart-
ment Cover by pulling it out in
the direction of the arrow.
2. Insert four batteries, plus (+)
and minus (-) ends correctly
as illustrated in the Battery
Compartment, then replace
the cover by sliding it in until
it locks.
