How do I turn the torch on?
Use the sliding top cover switch to push the mechanism into the 'on' position.
Can I use rechargeable batteries in this device?
While it is designed for alkaline cells, standard rechargeable AA batteries of the same voltage may work, though performance may vary.
Is this torch waterproof?

Troubleshooting

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare the torch for use, slide the battery compartment open and insert three fresh LR6 alkaline batteries according to the polarity markings. Avoid mixing old and new batteries to prevent leakage. For care, store the torch in a dry, cool environment. To clean the exterior, use a slightly damp cloth; ensure no liquid enters the internal housing. If the torch will not be used for an extended period, remove the batteries to prevent corrosion inside the contact points.
