Attaching teleconverter to camera body
Make sure that the camera's power is turned off and avoid direct sunlight. Attach the camera to the lens/teleconverter assembly so that the camera's mounting index is aligned with the teleconverter-camera index on the teleconverter. Taking care not to press the camera's lens release button, turn the camera body counterclockwise (with the camera body facing away from you) until it clicks into place. If your camera has a lift-up meter coupling lever, make sure that the meter coupling lever is correctly positioned. (For details, see your camera instruction manual.) To remove: While pressing the lens release button on the camera body, turn the camera body clockwise (with the camera body facing away from you).
Ansetzen an das Kameragehuse
Vergewissern Sie sich, da die Kamera ausgeschaltet ist, und meiden Sie direktes Sonnenlicht. Setzen Sie das Objektiv mit angesetztem Telekonverter so in das Kamerabajonett ein, da der Index des Telekonverters auf den roten Punkt an der Kamera ausgerichtet ist. Drehen Sie das Kameragehuse ohne Druck auf die Objektiventriegelung der Kamera im Uhrzeigersinn (bei auf Sie gerichteter Kamera), bis es einrastet. Sollte Ihre Kamera ber einen ausrckbaren Mewerk-Kupplungshebel verfgen, vergewissern Sie sich, da sich dieser in der richtigen Stellung befindet. (Einzelheiten finden Sie in der Bedienungsanleitung der Kamera.) Zum Abnehmen drcken Sie die Objektiventriegelung an der Kamera und drehen das Kameragehuse entgegen dem Uhrzeigersinn (bei auf Sie gerichteter Kamera).

Teleconverter care

Although you should always keep the teleconverter's lens surfaces clean, rough cleaning must be avoided. Wipe with a soft, clean cotton cloth moistened with alcohol to remove grease or fingerprints from the lens surfaces. Be careful not to soil or scratch the teleconverter's lens surface. Keep both front and rear lens caps in place when you are not using the teleconverter. If you do not intend to use the teleconverter for a long time, protect it from rust and mold by storing it in a cool, dry place. Also, do not store it in direct sunlight, and keep it away from naphthalene or camphor. Be careful not to get the teleconverter wet or drop it in water. Water may cause it to malfunction.
Soin apporter au tlconvertisseur
Bien qu'il faille toujours garder propre la surface des objectifs du tlconvertisseur, isurtout ne pas nettoyer de manire approximative. Nettoyer avec un tissu en coton propre et souple, imbib d'alcool, pour enlever la graisse ou les empreintes des doigts de la surface de l'objectif. Faire attention ne pas salir ou rayer la surface de l'objectif du tlconvertisseur. Maintenir les capuchons d'objectifs avant et arrire en position lorsque le tlconvertisseur n'est pas en service. Si le tlconvertisseur n'est pas utilis pendant longtemps, le protger contre la rouille et l'humidit en le rangeant dans un endroit frais et sec. D'autre part, ne pas le placer directement au soleil et l'loigner de la naphtaline ou du camphre. Faire attention ne pas mouiller le tlconvertisseur ou le laisser tomber dans l'eau. Ce qui pourrait causer un mauvais fonctionnement.
