the light.
Lift the body off of the front. The batteries remain housed in the front.
There are two ways to slide the locking lever out: grasp the sides of the lever and pull out
OR use your thumb to apply slight pressure to the top of the lever and slide it out.

Keep the o-ring and sealing surfaces clean. DO NOT stretch the o-ring when cleaning. It is not
necessary to lubricate the o-ring. Never use spray lubricant because it will crack the plastic.
Place the clean o-ring on the inner ledge of the front head assembly.
CCLLOOSSIINNGG TTHHEE LLIITTEE____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Align the handle on the body with the front assembly as referenced. Lower the body on the
front. Proper alignment of the body with the front is extremely important to avoid possible
damage to the internal components.

rotate the lever clockwise. Flip the lever down and slide the lever in to the locked position.

The RCD H features the high intensity 5.0V lamp producing an incredibly bright penetrating
medium spot beam intended primarily for underwater use. Alkaline batteries provide 7.5-watt
initial intensity and 5-6 hours of high intensity light. Consumer ni-cads reduce the intensity and
burn time.
BBAATTTTEERRYY IINNSSTTAALLLLAATTIIOONN________________________________________________
Note the polarity markings on the front head assembly.
The two batteries closest to the handle must be inserted
positive end DOWN; the back two batteries must be
inserted positive end UP.
For best performance, we recommend Energizer®
alkaline batteries.
BBUULLBB RREEPPLLAACCEEMMEENNTT______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Make sure the bulb is cool. Remove the batteries to access the bulb holder. Squeeze the ends of
bulb holder and remove. Tip the front up and drop the bulb into your hand. Place the new bulb in
the front and replace the bulb holder (orient it either way).

Ikelite offers two bulbs compatible with the RCD H. The standard bulb provided is the 5.0V
higher intensity halogen bulb IKE4 #0042.55 offering a 5-6 hour burn time and 10-hour life.
It is intended primarily for undewater use.
The optional 5.2V halogen bulb #0042.52 provides a 10-hour burn time and 20-hour life.
It is offered for extended use above water or to almost double the burn time and lamp life.
In an emergency, use a common PR-size 4.8–5.2V bulb.
