Leica R6 Data Back Battery ?

Hello,

I'm new to my Leica R6 and new to this forum.

My used Leica R6 came with a Data Back and I'm having difficulty knowing which battery to purchase to get it active.  Not that I'd ever use this feature but I'd like to get it working.

Does anyone know which battery this optional device requires?

Thanks in advance,

David H

Welcome to the forum, David.  I never had an R6 (always admired them from afar).  Anyway, I would be surprised if the data back had its own battery.  Wouldn't it be powered by the same battery that operated the meter?  Someone will know.  Meanwhile, here is a link to a .pdf of the R6 manual.  Maybe that will help.

Brent, 

Thanks much for your reply and link to the R6 manual.  I'll look into it.  I've also attached an image of the back of my Leica.

Thanks again,
