John, the button cap at the rear unscrews......but, if it was cross threaded at the factory, it's froze on there.It's not worththe postage to send it back......give a pair of pliers a try.

Open the Bottom of the barrel where the orange on and off switch is. There are threads so it screws open and closed again.

It opens on the opposite end from the lens. That end is smooth and difficult to get a good grip on. I recommend using a piece of tape or a Band-Aid around the end to provide a good grip. In opening other things I have also used a piece of damp cloth around the item I am trying to turn and a pair of pliers to grip with; don't squeeze to hard or you may bend or scratch the item you are trying to turn. Moist hands improve grip.

The rear of the light is where the switch is located, opposite end of where the bulb is. This is where the switch end screws onto the light. Grab the main part of the light with one hand and twist the switch end in a counterclockwise motion to unscrew the end.

You twist the bezel that holds the button. I was confused on it for a few minutes, too. The part that twists off is very small, just the tail end of the flashlight.

The very back of the flashlight unscrews. Turn it counter clockwise. It can be hard to turn at first. I have six of these, some are harder than others to unscrew. Good luck.

Turn the bezel around the bulb. This may take a try or two until you get the feel for it. If that doesn't work, there's a battery or bulb problem. I love the flashlight!

There is a small hole on the side of the flashlight and should be a smallRubber plug in the hole just pull it out and plug in the charger. I was so surprisedat how little time it took to charge it.Hope this helps.

Hi, be sure you have the batterys in correct, the negative terminal sets on the springs on the adapter,install the adapter with the arrow pointing to the flashlight. If this does not work the adapter might be defective.I took apart one of the batterys that came with my light and found a small battery, the rest of the space was filled with powder, the battery was probably about 500ma not 4200ma.

Unscrew the cap in the back of the flashlight, and insert batteries into a container that can fit diffent types of batteries.

There's a somewhat longish black bar on the flashlight part you press in. Hope this helps. Good luck.

I bought several flashlights recently, but if this is the one I think you're asking about, it comes with a frame/adaptor in whitch you insert the batteries then slide the enire thing into the light. Also it's one of the poorest performing lights I bought.

The flashlight requires three batteries. If you unscrew the back plate and turn the butt end down the battery pack will fall out. The three AA batteries will go into the battery pack with the negative end (-) or flat end against the spring. Two of the batteries will go one way and the third will go in upside down compared to the other two. The battery pack has a little knob in the center versus an indention on the other end. The pack goes into the flashlight barrel, knob end first (toward the light) and the indention end toward the screw on back plate. I hope this helps. If you still have trouble, just ask and I will be glad to try and help. The flashlight requires three batteries.

For the battery cartridge as a whole, the end with the protruding bump goes down into the flashlight. The end wiht the hollowed bump goes toward the flashlight end with the on/off button. Make sure the batteries are snapped into the cartridge securely. The + and - are marked on both ends of the cartridge. Make sure they line up correctly with the batteries (the flat end of the battery is -). Once you screw the end of the flashlight on, press the black rubber button for on/off. If that doesn't work you could try new batteries

It's easy Mate. You carefully unscrew the base. Two of the AA's batteries insert one way..the third the other way. + \ -. The screwcap has two springs..and i tried using that as a guide for a while before I realized, there are two notches in the tailcap...one slightly larger than other...that only allow you to mount the batteries perfectly.

1. Test the "new" batteries individually to make sure they are OK. 2. Confirm that each battery is installed correctly into the holder - the flat (-) end of each battery should be towards the spring in the holder. 3. Confirm that the battery holder is installed correctly into the flashlight - the holder goes in "bump" end first. If your flashlight still isn't working, then either the on/off switch or the LEDs have failed, and these are not user-replaceable.

i did same thing at first, & was sure I installed battery right. In frustration, I flipped battery opposite direction inside flashlight & it worked fine. It stil seems backwards to me, but I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this flashlight! If yours still won't work after installing battery in all directions, then it must be a defect. Hope it works for you. It's the best flashlight I've used!

Hello - Good question, as they appear not to have a way to operate them. At the back end of the flashlight is a slightly raised, round black object. That's the button, which is actually underneath that surface. Just push down on it to turn the light on or off.

Unscrew the top, pull the lens compartment out. Install batteries on both sides. Screw back in, let there beight.

You can use regular AAA batteries, not AA batteries. Plus, this flashlight sucked. I wouldn't even bother.

No nned for AA batteries. The flashlight has built in rechargable batteries. Just turning the handle charges the batteries.

Just unscrew the push-switch, turn upside down the flashlight without the push-switch and the battery pack will slide out. This part is an assembly which holds the three AAA batteries.
