Battery notes

• If using alkaline batteries, Dive Rite recommends using quality batteries, such as

Duracell or Eveready. Do not use the long life type alkalines as they are not

designed for the power demands of the light.

• Do not use mixed lots of batteries.

• All eight batteries should be of the same make and age. Do not mix used

batteries with new batteries.

2. Slide the handle down and off the battery holder.

3. Pull the battery holder out of the light head.

4. Install the batteries as detailed in the battery holder.

5. Ensure that the O-rings are free from dirt and debris.

6. Insert the battery holder into the light head, making sure the contacts at the top of
the battery holder line up with contacts at the base of the light head.

Turning the light on and off

Before using the light, make sure the batteries are installed and in good working order.

Caution: The light can be used out of the water. However, exercise caution when

using the light out of the water. The light is designed primarily for use underwater.
Water serves to remove heat from the LEDs. Excessive use out of the water can
shorten the life of the LEDs. If the light head begins to feel exceptionally warm, turn
the light off. Avoid looking directly at the LEDs when the light is turned on.
