Product Maintenance

Secure mounting:

Whichever way your light is being used, make sure to check that all mounting
points are fastened tightly before use. Mount hardware parts have phillips head
screwdriver details to assist you with tightening each fastener adequately.

Waterproof seal care:

If you’re using your [qudos] Action Light in extreme sports like diving, downhilll mountain-biking or in any environment that it’s likely to become
dirty or saturated, there are two things you must do regularly, if not after every use.

Washing the light

With the Light Unit battery door firmly closed, clean visible particles of debris from the body of the light with assistance
of running water. If the light has stubborn stains, use a damp cloth.

Saltwater applications:

It is essential to rinse the light after use to reduce degradation caused by corrosion.

Checking and cleaning the seal area:

With the battery door open, check that all visible sealing surfaces are clear of dirt and debris. If dirt and debris are
visible, remove and clean the seal, door and housing sealing surfaces with a clean/dry lint-free cloth.
The sealing area of the light has a factory-applied silicone grease. We recommend you re-apply a quality silicone
grease to all sealing surfaces before reassembling and using the light.

Battery Storage:

When the light is not used for extended periods (more than fourteen daysv) users should implement Storage Mode. Use of this feature will
optimise the life of the battery. After storage, recharge the battery to full before use.

1. Recharge the ACTION light until LED turns green

2. Replace battery into Light Unit and shut the door.

3. Turn the light on to any mode.

Green

4. Hold the button for 5 seconds (until LED in the battery door
glows red).

The light will drain to the optimum voltage level and turn itself o. This
signals storage mode completion.
