Using the Makita XRM12 is easy. First, insert a fully - charged 18V LXT® Lithium - Ion battery (sold separately). To turn on the lantern, find the power button and press it. You can enjoy the 360° bright light. To use the radio, press the radio button on the device. Then use the push - button digital tuner to select one of the nine programmable AM or FM stations. You can hang the lantern using the metal hang hook for job - site use or use the strap to hang it upside down for different lighting angles. When it comes to maintenance, keep the device clean and dry. Avoid using it in extremely wet or dusty conditions, although it has XPT™ for some protection. Always use genuine Makita batteries and chargers to ensure proper operation and avoid damage. Remember, the battery and charger are sold separately, so make sure to have them ready. And the product comes with a 3 - year limited warranty, so if you have any problems, contact Makita for support.
