Don't you just love those instructions translated into English by well-meaning manufacturers, who not only don't speak English, but don't even use our alphabet?
Here's a little gadget I picked up at a stall on Keswick market. Looks like it might come in quite handy - a little LED lamp that holds on to your head with elastic, leaving your hands free. Just as well it's easy enough to figure out how to work it without instructions, though.
Let's see now.... How do we fit the battery?
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
FLASHING MODE [ooh this sounds fun]
Turforwation of product, which of course is something I really needed to know.
I was pleased to see on the front, though, a label saying,
DREAMING OF THE OUTDOORS" which I thought was rather sweet, and they sign off with,
Had a wonderful time. the chinese manufacturing!
Now, how many Western manufacturers (assuming there are any left) send you on your way with such a pleasant sentiment?

Hilarious!!! Did you had a nice time after you worked out how to put the batteries in?
Yeah! Great little gadget, and on Keswick Market it was less than half the price of an identical model featured in one of those unsolicited Christmas catlogues that fell through the door the next day. It's just bright enough to create a useful pool of light when dogwalking in the dark, though not recommended when things are going BANG! round about...
