—_— MEPCURY BATTERY REPLACEMENT

Your YASHICA J-3 incorporates @ 1.3V
longilife mercury battery (Mallory RM.
1 or General RG-1 or equivalent) that
supplies power to the super-sensitive
CdS exposure meter. Under normal
conditions the life of this battery is
rated at about two years.

Unlike regular batteries, however, it
provides full power throughout its life
and need not be replaced until it gets
old.

The mercury battery is housed in a
special compartment in the base of
the camera. Access to the compart.
ment is provided by a round, screw-
out cap.
