Inside the battery compartment there is a hook that holds on to a tab. You just have to twist the hook off the tab and it should come right off.

You should use a hex key. I was able to tighten it by hand but it would be more secure with the key. Alternatively, You can just use the normal screw that comes with the camera. Not sure why they felt the need to change it up here because I found that the screw works just fine.

Sounds like you have a loose screw or sonething. If its the screw that comes loose then thats a easy fix. A drop of locktight on the and your good. I had the same issue with another light and its all fixed!

Remove the orange protective cover. Then you will see the battery compartment which requires a Phillips screwdriver to open.

I do not see any way to get to the light. The instruction book says NOT to remove the plastic cover below the light. There is a number in the instruction book to call for customer service. Sorry no help here.

I have an identical light by another manufacturer that takes a small Phillips screwdriver. They are tight but it can be done. I have not replaced the Maxcraft batteries but it should be the same. Sorry I can't say for sure without trying.

either will work. I used the screws provided but temporarily used the adhesive to hold the light in place while I installed the screws.

Remove the screws on the back and insert a new battery (or both). The replacement batteries don't seem to last quite as long as the originals, but the light will once again come on.

It sounds like they keep changing the design. Mine had screws in a bag. I couldn't pry the top or bottom off. I pushed the light panel in: no joy. I held it more-or-less horizontally by the metal strip in one hand and smacked that hand with my other one. After 3 smacks the bottom panel dropped down 1/8 inch and I was on my way . . .

At the bottom where the batteries are inserted, just keep turning the bottom and the lights should go on. Had difficulty with one of mine and switched the brand of battery, and while it needs twisted and untwisted until I find just the right spot, it works.

Twist the head of the flashlight counter-clockwise a small turn until it stops, then pull it away from the handle. Inside you will see the LEDs in the center. That is also the battery compartment. Just pull it out and install the batteries. Make sure when you put the battery compartment back in that the red dot\button lines up with the black button on the handle outside; the red button is the button you actually press when you are pressing the black button outside. Then just put the head back on and turn it clockwise until it stops.

Try a coin. It is kind of hard at first, but if you push up on it, it snaps out. There looks like two openings for the battery, but it's the upper one. The lower is for the little circular stand that comes with it.

The bottom cap unscrews, allowing you to access the battery holder. Just don't twist on the brightness setting, but rather the bottom cap itself.

HelloThe little plastic cover just snaps onto the lighting unit. You will be able to just pull it off. You might have to use a butter knife or screw driver (unplug everything first!) to get in between the plastic cover and the unit itself. But there isnt any screws or fasteners holding it. Just plastic grooves that hold it in place.. like legos or models that kids build. Hope this helps

There is a tab you push against with a small screwdriver in the slot on the bottom of the unit, which will allow you to "pop" it apart, giving access to the screw mounting holes and battery compartment. Pull the unit apart with your nails while depressing the tab. Good luck!

You do have to unscrew the light mount to get access to the battery compartment. The magnetic mount is convenient for mounting on steel surfaces if available. Easy battery access is a minor inconvenience with respect to the great functionality of this light. Great safety item as well as intruder alert, love it.

Your best bet would be to screw it directly to so etching. It does have a screw thread on the light housing. The supplied rubber band connector is hopeless, it slides forward lowering the light beam.
