Using your UCO A - 45 Comfort - Fit Headlamp is a breeze. First, put the headlamp on your head and adjust the soft neoprene strap using the hook/loop fastener until it fits comfortably. To turn on the light, use the infinitely adjustable dial. You can increase or decrease the brightness as you need, up to 11 lumens. If you're in a situation where you need night vision, switch to the red LED mode. When it comes to the batteries, the headlamp comes with 2 CR2032 3v Lithium - ion batteries. When they run out, simply open the battery compartment and replace them with new ones. As for maintenance, since it's highly water - resistant (IPX4), it can handle a bit of moisture. But don't submerge it in water for a long time. After use, keep it in a dry place. If the strap gets dirty, you can gently wipe it with a damp cloth. And always store the headlamp in a cool and dry area when not in use.
