Using the Milwaukee 2103 Headlamp is a breeze. First, insert the three included AAA batteries into the battery compartment. Then, put on the headlamp by adjusting the strap to fit your head comfortably. The sweat - absorbing micro - fiber forehead part will keep you feeling fresh. You can switch between the three light output modes - high, medium, and low - depending on how much light you need. To direct the light where you want it, simply pivot the light head through one of the 7 tilt positions. If you're wearing a hard hat, use the four clips to attach the headlamp securely. When it comes to maintenance, make sure to keep the housing clean. Since it's water and dust - resistant, you can give it a gentle wipe if it gets dirty. The strap is washable, so take it off and clean it when it gets sweaty. Remember, the limited lifetime warranty doesn't cover the batteries, so when the batteries run out, replace them with new AAA batteries. Also, avoid dropping the headlamp as much as possible, even though it's impact - resistant, excessive drops might still cause damage.
