Hi...Lol That would usually be a question I would ask.. When you open the back...Take the white cillendar(sp) out it holds 3 AAA batteries and two go in one way and one goes in the opposite way..aka flat part of battery goes againest springs..Hope this helps :)

It should take 3 AAA batteries that are inserted into a battery cradle. The cradle is marked for positive and negative but for me it was hard to see. Once you get the batteries in the plastic cradle, then you insert it into the flashlight cavity and close it up. I've had not problems. Unfortunately my daughter has been playing with it so I could not find it to post pics. When I find it I will post them right away.

2 things you have to check when installing batteries :1) make sure the the spring makes contact the NEGATiVE ( flat part ) of the battery when inserting. 2) make sure the battery holder goes into the flashlight the correct way. Usually the end of the battery holder marked with "+" or with the bump on the end goes in first .Good luck !!!

Jeff, the batt slips end first into the receptacle and under the little bridge that holds it in place. Push it all the way in till it touches the stops at the end and you're set and so is the battery. Make sense? Then the wires are close the the ones attached to the quad. All the quad wires are under the plastic cover! For balance, I insert my batts so the wires are furthest away from those attached to the quad. Usually it's label facing away from me or so I can't see it! Good luck and let me know how you do!

You slide the back panel down and put in the batteries. I didn't get any instructions either and it is complicated to figure out, you'll just have to play with it or return it. I don't use mine anymore because I would have to replace the batteries all of the time. For me, I wasted my money.

The other response is correct. There is a door on the back. Open it and insert the batteries.

We purchased this item but have had difficulty using it. I put batteries in it and it did not work. In fairness I have not spent a lot of time tryimng to figure out what is wrong. But than should I have to spend time trying to "fix" it?

it should turn on when you put the batteries in it,but I had to mess with the front end a bit.it doesn't seem to make good contact where the light comes out,so after using a screwdriver to mess with it i got it to turn on but its very touchy.and when and if you do get it on work fast because the batteries only last a short time

Thank you all, I appreciate your feedback! I'll try with batteries first (when I receive it - ordered today), and maybe order this next! Thank you again.

I am sorry that you are having trouble with this item. Please: - check that the 2 AA batteries are installed as shown in the diagram in or near the battery compartment. - check that all battery contacts are tightly holding the batteries. Pulling or bending these contacts can sometimes resolve this problem. Once you have tried these suggestions, and have confirmed that the problem cannot be easily resolved, inform the merchant you purchased it from. Deep Memories 203 234-2001 I'm sorry for the inconvenience. Thank you, Michael DeepMemories Customer Service 203 234-2001

Try removing the batteries then put them back in. If this doesn't work you are SOL.

I had the same problem. You have to use the wire connection along with the two batteries in the handle. Mine worked well after that. Enjoy !

When I first put in the batteries, it did not work. I realized that I put the battery holder in the wrong way. Turned it around and it worked. Hope it's that simple!

Take it apart disconnect the battery remove the fuse or replace if needed but should be ok in the scope turns on. reassemble everything it should work. I have had to do this twice with mine.

If you're looking at the front- (where there is a silver circle button to turn it on), turn it around, and the lower back side, where the silver bottom is higher up along the blue, there is a tiny little button, that if you push, it pops open the battery chamber. Just turn it around, and feel the silver back side, and you'll see: feel it. It's super easy once you see it. Battery directions (+, -) are written on it, and labeled on batteries as well! Let me know if you need more help!

I would immediately send it back. It has to be defective. My two batteries work just fine. They take the charge and hold it until you are ready to use them. Sorry to hear you had trouble. These are hi-tech units and I do suppose that they are a little temperamental.

If I remember right, I think there was a plastic pull tab that went in between the batteries and the unit itself. It sounds like the lamp is in the "On" position, but it goes out because the tab is separating the contact between the batteries and the unit. Check that and see if it works, or make sure the batteries are seated in the lamp properly.

Make sure to put the batteries on the right way. We put the opposite way first and thought it was broken..
