Installing AA Batteries

Instead of the optional NiMH battery pack (Installing a NiMH Battery Pack), you can use two alkaline, NiMH, or lithium batteries. This is useful when you are on the trail and cannot charge the NiMH battery pack. Use NiMH or lithium batteries for best results.

  1. Turn the D-ring counter-clockwise, and pull up to remove the cover.
  2. Insert two AA batteries, observing polarity.
