    Lightbulb Rangefinder Battery

    Nikko Stirling 6x25 Rangefinder

    Which way should the battery be installed Positive + DOWN or UP ????. Battery is a chubby little round battery 3volt CR2

    Have not used it for a while & cannot find instructions, even on Nikko Stirling website.

    Thanks for helping

    Generally smooth side down, if it doesn't work try it the other way up

    Question Battery

    Hi
    Was concerned that putting the battery in "upside down" would permanently damage the unit (reverse polarity & all that good stuff) so was hoping someone who actually owns one would answer my query so that I got it right first time.

    Battery

    Sorry. Wrong model. That model takes AA batteries.
    My earlier model "vertically held" takes a chubby CR2 3 volt battery. On the Nikko stirling site there is a download but it does not state which way the battery should be installed & there are no helpful markings on the rangefinder case.

    Here's the manual for the other one: http://www.nikkostirling.com/Images/...3%20MANUAL.pdf

    But as you say, it doesn't show how to fit the battery

    I've not seen a battery device without the +/- info printed or moulded somewhere in the battery compartment, or on the lid / trap door...
