Look through the viewfinder and turn the shutter speed dial until a small black pointer appears in the notch at the upper right of the viewfinder. Then, still looking through the viewfinder, press the little silver button on the front of the body. If the battery is good, the meter needle will deflect at least as far as the middle notch of the metering window. If it doesn't deflect that far, try a new battery.
