Change Batteries In A Polaroid Impulse Camera

Revive your Polaroid Impulse camera with a fresh pack of film.


The Impulse, produced by Polaroid in 1988, is a plastic-bodied instant camera. Sporting a single element fixed-focus lens, the Impulse is ideal for the impulsive, spontaneous photographer. The Impulse can be found in several color schemes, including bright yellow, red and light gray with black accents. The camera's power source comes from the circular electronic contacts on type 600 film cartridges, so no additional batteries are required to use the Impulse.


Instructions


1. Push down the small release tab on the back of the camera to open the film door. Remove the old film pack from the film slot.








2. Remove the fresh 600 film pack from its silver outer wrapper. Hold the pack so that the circular electronic contacts face downward and insert it all the way into the film slot.


3. Close the film door securely. Once the door is closed, the camera will eject the black cover card from the top of the film pack to signal that it is ready to be used.








4. Power on the camera by pushing the flash release tab at the top of the camera. This will ready the pop-up flash and reveal the lens.
