Can someone clarify Head On for me?

After running into a few Head On teams, there is something about Head On's description that is confusing me. It's the first line: "While standing in a locker, for 3 seconds, Head On activates." The way that line is punctuated would imply that they can only use Head On during the first 3 seconds of jumping into a locker, but that can't be right because I've had people waiting in a locker to get a save on their buddy. But it also seemed like they could just jump in a locker and immediately burst out for the stun as well. I wasn't thinking about trying to time it when it happened so could someone clarify this part of the description?

    It essentially takes 3 seconds for Head On to charge up, if you know a survivor is running Head On and they jump into a locker directly in front of you, open it ASAP. Respecting the locker just lets them activate Head On for free.

    Well, maybe the description is a bit confusing for some people, but you gotta stay in a locker for more than 3 seconds (and no longer than 60s) to use head on. If you don't wait the 3 seconds, head on won't do nothing, if you stay longer than 60s, you will get a crow and you won't be able to use head-on.

    Thanks for clearing that up, makes sense now because when I see someone running Head On I instinctively hesitate at a locker. Gotta break out of that habit.

    Jump in the locker.

    Three seconds later Head On activates.

    Head On is then active until you are out of the locker or get crows.
