   CAUfl0N - After removing Snap-load from film box and styrene container, be sure to check the under side for   the u,ord " UNEXPOSEO" printed in white on the black paper leader, If you will always check to be sure this   printing shows you will eliminate the danger of inserting a "used" or "exposed" magazine back into the   camera. Nothing tvill happen to_injure the pictures you have already taken, but you will be taking pictures   lvithout any film, as this has already advanced across the magazine to the take u'p spool . Also, it-ii  easy to   send in the wrong roll for processing, so make sure that the word 'uNEXP0SE ,, does not appear on the undLr-
   side of any magazine you are preparing to ship to the laboratory for processing,
  To insert a Snap-load magazine, ]ay the camera face down with base toward you. Set Snap-load in recess in
   back of camera. With thumbs, press release clamps toward sides of camera. Snap-'load will drop into recess.   Press_the right hand side of the magazine into place first and make sure the climp is firmly sbated in the   Snap-load depressions - then press the left hand side into place and make sure thb clamp is-finnly seated.   The motor will start running when you press the left hand side of the magazine into p1ale. O0 NlT BE
