Setup
Battery Installation
The Realtree RT243 Headlamp is powered by 3 AAA batteries (included). Follow these steps to install or replace the batteries:
- Locate the battery compartment on the rear of the headlamp unit.
- Open the battery compartment cover by gently prying it open or sliding it according to the markings.
- Insert 3 AAA batteries, ensuring the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals align correctly with the indicators inside the compartment. Incorrect installation can prevent the device from functioning.
- Close the battery compartment cover securely until it clicks into place, ensuring a tight seal to maintain water resistance.
Always use fresh, high-quality alkaline AAA batteries for optimal performance and battery life. Remove batteries if the headlamp will not be used for an extended period to prevent leakage.
