Princeton Tec cares about the environment and recommends recycling batteries.

To install the batteries, unlatch the battery door. Open the Byte case by
popping the door latch over the catch and rotate the door open.
Install two AAA batteries as shown in the diagram. The tall spring on the
battery door should correspond with the negative polarity and the shorter
spring on the battery door should correspond with the positive polarity.
Observe proper battery polarity when installing the batteries. Improper
installation of the batteries will damage the light and void the warranty.
Rotate the door to the closed position, squeeze the body between your
forefingers and thumb to snap the door latch over the catch.
WARNING!
- Never mix fresh and used batteries.
- Never mix different battery brands or chemistry types.
- Always remove drained batteries immediately.
- Remove batteries during long periods of storage.
NOTE: Rechargeable NiCad or NiMH batteries may result in reduced brightness due to lower nominal voltage.
