Canon EOS 1 N - Manual (Page 7)

Camera Care and Precautions
• A minute amount of battery power is used for the display even when the main
switch is set to B . This does not affect the camera’s shooting capacity (num­
ber of film rolls possible per battery).
• Carefully check the camera’s operation after lengthy storage. When the cam­
era has not been used for a long time, or before an important trip or shooting
assignment, we recommend having the camera thoroughly tested at a Canon
service center.
2. Liquid Crystal Display information
The LCD panel uses liquid crystal to indicate camera settings. Due to the charac­
teristics of the liquid crystal, the display may become difficult to read because of its
life span which varies according to the condition of use. If this occurs, have it
replaced at an authorized Canon service facility. Replacement is at the owner’s
expense in case of out of warranty term.
Liquid crystal may also respond relatively slowly in temperatures below 32°F/0°C. It
may also darken in temperatures of around 140°F/60°C. The LCD panel will return
when the temperature returns to normal.
3. Blinking “
be
” Display
There are two conditions in which the blinking “
be
” will appear in the LCD panel;
(1) when the battery is nearly exhausted or (2) when the camera’s self-test process
detects an internal malfunction. If the blinking “
be
”
indicator appears, perform the
following operations:
1. Press the battery check button to check the battery level. If the battery level is
low, replace the battery with a new one.
2. If the indicator shows a sufficient battery level, remove the battery, wipe the bat­
tery terminals and reload it.
3. Release the shutter once.
If the “
be
” display stops blinking, the problem is corrected and you can contin­
ue using the camera normally, if the blinking does not stop, the camera needs to
be examined by an authorized Canon service facility.
