Open the compartment, insert the AA battery according to the polarity indicators, and securely close the compartment. The MH3 also supports a 14500 li-ion rechargeable battery (sold separately).
- Strap Adjustment: Place the headlamp on your head. Adjust the elastic head strap using the buckles on either side to ensure a comfortable and secure fit. The strap should be snug but not too tight.
