Loading the �lm
To unlock and open the camera �lm door, rotate the camera door latch away from the door. Before loading the �lm, check that the developer rollers are clean (see Clean the developer rollers). Always hold the �lm pack by the edges, not in the center. Slide the pack in at an angle, and then push it down into place.
Accessories are available from your Polaroid camera dealer, or contact your nearest Polaroid Of�ce.
Load the batteries
The camera uses four 1.5 volt AA batteries, which provide power for the shutter and �ash unit. Alkaline batteries are recommended. Do not use Nicad rechargeable batteries; they may damage the camera. A set of batteries are included with the camera. A fresh set of alkaline batteries should last for approximately 80 �ashes. The �ash unit should recharge in 10-12 sec with fresh batteries; when the recharge time reaches 30 seconds, replace the batteries. The battery compartment is inside the hand grip. Open the lid on the bottom of the hand grip and insert the batteries in the orientation shown inside the compartment. Then close the lid. If the camera will not be used for an extended period of time, remove the batteries and store them separately to prevent damage caused by leaking batteries.
Check that the white tabs are straight, all the way out of the holder. Close and latch the door, with the end of the black tab sticking out.
Pull the black tab straight, all the way out of the holder. A small white tab will appear. The holder is now loaded.
No white tab?
Open the door and without moving the �lm pack, push the top white tab out. Then close and latch the door.
Note: An AC adapter may be preferred for high volume use (see Accessories).
