Subject: [Leica] Help with R3

Hello LUGgers!
It has been quiet a while I haven't posted. I miss you all!

Anyway, my problem:
I recently bought an R3 from ebay to have as another back up body. I also have
an old R3, that old that I can't remember when I last used it. Things have
changed a lot since I got so used to using my R7s and R8s.
Both the R3s (which I placed new batteries in) do not show any movement in the
viewfinder. That is, the needle stays in the bottom, no matter what I do. it
would be strange If both my R3s meters died. Does anyone remember how to "turn
on" the meter of the R3?
How Can I test If the cameras are using the battery?
I tripled check to make sure I put the batteries correctly, and the metal tab in
the battery compartment is sticking out enough to make contact.

Thank you all in advance for your help!

Regards,
Alexander
