The Power pack P-8 is an external power supply using four 1.5V LR6/AA
NiH batteries or four 1.2V LR6/AA Ni-Cd batteries. This pack allows the
camera to be used with a remote power supply kept in a warm place. This
prevents loss of battery performance due to the influence of cold working
conditions.
The Power pack P-8D is an external power supply using four 1.5V D-size
NiH batteries. Use it as required when large numbers of photographs are
to be taken.
* The separately available GP-1 Contax power pack adapter is required when using the P-
8D in conjunction with the Contax NX.
<Mounting>
1. Fit the GP-1 Contax power pack adapter to the camera.
Remove the lithium batteries from the camera, insert the GP-1, and turn to
lock in place.
• Keep the battery cover in a safe place.
