To install the batteries, use a coin in the coin slots to
unlatch the back housing from the front. Open the
Swerve by inserting a coin in the first slot. Rotate the
coin to pop the first latch. Now place the coin in the
second slot to complete the opening operation.
Install two AAA batteries according to the polarity
markings on the inside of the battery compartment.
Observe proper battery polarity when installing the
batteries. Improper installation of the batteries will
damage the light and void the warranty.
To close - Align the coin slots of the rear housing with
the seal cut outs on the front assembly and squeeze
them together until they click closed.
Modes (Off, Steady On and Flash) are selected by
rotating the switch to the appropriate symbol printed
on the red housing. is for Flash and

On. The center position is off.
You may rotate the rear housing 180º so the switch is
located on the opposite side when the light is clipped
into the mounting bracket. You must also rotate the
(white) seal 180º so the coin slots on the seal line up
with the coin slots on the rear housing.
