The Lighted Halloween Ghost Hat Decoration (hereinafter probably just called the Ghost Hat) is a Halloween decoration designed to be hung on your porch (or indoors if you're decorating for an indoor Halloween party). It is made primarily of fabric; it is designed to look like a stereotypical "ghost" wearing a black witch's hat.
In the hat are some colored LEDs that have three operational modes: fast unison blink, slow unison blink, and steady-on.
The whole mess is powered by three LR44 button cells, contained in an easy-to-access batterey box located near the tip of its "hat"
** The item that I received is NOT what I ordered.
SIZE
To use the Ghost Hat, first locate the battery box near the top of the "hat" and pull out & discard the plastic tab that you sticking out. This tab is an insulator which prevents the discharge of the batteries in the product if is accidentally turned on during storage or transport.
On the side of the battery box, there is a small black button.
Press & release it to turn the Ghost Hat on in fast blink mode.
Press & release it again to turn the Ghost Hat on in slow blink mode.
Press & release it again to turn the Ghost Hat on in steady-on mode.
Finally, press & release the button again to neutralise the Ghost Hat.
Just like it reads on the backs of many shampoo bottles, "lather, rinse, repeat."
In other words, presing the button again turns the Ghost Hat on in fast blink mode.
To change the batteries in the Ghost Hat, lift the lid on the small white battery box.
Remove the three dead LR44 button cells, and dispose of them.
Install three new LR44 button cells, orienting them so that their flat-ends (+) positves face the spring for them at one end of the chamber.
Close the lid on the battery box.
This is a decorative light, not a flashlight meant to be thrashed, trashed, and abused. So I won't try to drown it in the toliet tank, bash it against a steel rod or against the concrete floor of a driveway in effort to try and expose the bare Metalguilmon - er - the bare Metalguardramon - um that's not it either...the bare Metalterriermon...mmm...the bare Metalkyubimon...er...uh...wait a sec here...THE BARE METAL (guess I've been watching too much Digimon again! - now I'm just making {vulgar term for feces} up!!!)...O WAIT!!! WHERE'S THE METAL?!? , let my landlady's dalmatian doggos piddle (uranate) on it, hose it down with my mother's gun, run over it with a 450lb Quickie Pulse 6 motorised wheelchair, stomp on it, use a large carpenter's hammer (claw hammer) in order to bash it open to check it for candiosity, fire it from the cannoñata, drop it down the top of Mt. Erupto (now I guess I've been watching ***WAAAAAAYYYYY*** too much of the TV program “Viva Piñata” again!!! - candiosity is usually checked with a laser-type device on a platform with a large readout (located at Piñata Central {aka. "Party Central”}), with a handheld wand that Langston Lickatoad uses, or with a pack-of-cards-sized device that Fergy Fudgehog uses; the cannoñata (also located at Piñata Central) is only used to shoot piñatas to piñata parties away from picturesque Piñata Island, and Mt. Erupto is an active volcano on Piñata Island), send it to the Daystrom Institute for additional analysis, or perform other indecencies on it that a flashlight might have to have performed on it.
Therefore, this section of the Ghost Hat's web page will seem a bit more bare than this section of the web page on a page about a flashlight that was born to be a flashlight and nothing but a flashlight.
